Performance Settings for Different Builds:

High End PC (GPU: 4090/4080 CPU: I7-13700K or 7800x3d):
Performance Tab:
Low grass ini
Low or Mid Dyndolod
Skyrim Upscaler VR - Enable - Nvidia Only - ON
Skyrim Upscaler VR Preset - DLAA - ON
Make sure NVIDIA Reflex Support - Nvidia Only is TURNED OFF
VR FPS Stabilizer - Enable - ON
VR FPS Stabilizer Preset - TAA and Depth Culling - ON
For better performance and visual use Virtual Desktop and set it on ''Ultra''
or Airlink 1.4x res settings, all other res sliders at 100%/1.0x (game, steam, etc.)
90 hz/FPS
ASW/SSW off
If using VR Perf Kit (see below), use CAS only
(Keep in mind VR Perf kit is incompatible with Open Composite )
(Only downside to use OC is that there's no textbox ingame. Can't name character or use the search fonction with text)
Now minimal tinkering but highly recommended for even better perf:
Enable open composite XR;
Disable VR Performance Kit
If using Virtual Desktop, use VDXR runtime in the VD streamer app

Entry Level PC (GPU: 3070/4060 CPU: i7-9700K or 3800X)
Bottleneck my GPU for 30% performance and still get pretty decent results
Recommend using the Community Shader profile
Performance Tab:
Low grass ini
Low Dyndolod
Skyrim Upscaler VR - Enable - Nvidia Only - ON
Skyrim Upscaler VR Preset - DLSS - ON
Make sure NVIDIA Reflex Support - Nvidia Only is TURNED OFF
VR FPS Stabilizer - Enable - ON
VR FPS Stabilizer Preset - TAA Only - ON
For better performance and visual use Virtual Desktop and set it on ''Ultra'' (or even Medium but at a small visual cost)
or Airlink 1.4x res settings, all other res sliders at 100%/1.0x (game, steam, etc.)
90 hz/FPS
ASW/SSW - ON

If using VR Perf Kit (see below), use CAS only

(Only downside to use OC is that there's no textbox ingame. Can't name character or use the search fonction with text)

Now minimal tinkering but highly recommended for even better perf:

You don't often see guide videos that are this thorough. This is absolutely fantastic

[Burpiphides]

"I promise, you don't wanna turn into the kind of person that only mods skyrim vr, and never actually plays it" was TOO REAL 😂😅😅

[shS]

You also cover absolutely basics, which is a fresh change. I endorse this. Kudos to you my man.

[myst]

That “you don’t wanna be someone who mods and doesn’t play Skyrim” is so true. I spent hours (2 days spread out) trying to mod Skyrimvr and struggling. I spent more time modding it then playing it and didn’t even get further then the blacksmith😂

[camokid]

I just wanted to say Thank you for doing this video, and honestly the statements you made at the beginning really made me feel confident about trying to attempt Skyrim modding again.

[ThirdEye_oOo]

This Wabbajack is amazing, Skyrim never looked so good

[Fazelcp]

Thank you so much for the guide and all the hints in the video :)
Plus it was also really entertaining and made me laugh more the once, especially with the "modding and no playing" that happened to me for several tens of hours in the past, VR and Flatrim both, and the mushroom house xD

[BlazinMonk]

This was very helpful and well edited!

Just wanted to point out, if you want to uninstall skyrim and you have files you added in manually, I recommend going to your skyrim vr folder, deleting everything then you "Verify game integrity" which will redownload everything.

[MeNoHumanMeCamera]

i tried the guideline of 4 other videos and there were a ton of problems which i couldnt even fix in like 2 Days... thank you for you Video iam glad that i didnt give up on skyrim VR Modding :) the like i give your video is more than deserved :)

[DaevaB]

Oh man, you weren't kidding, i think i have to click 1926 times on slow download. Anyway thx man! I played skyrim before, bought the VR version because i thought it would be awesome. Never played it because i had to download so many mods just to make it playable in VR.

This might be the answer for an awesome gaming session in VR, now i just hope that my PC can run it.. (click number 70...) hahaha...

[billbaggins]

Thank you. All the files downloaded! First time!

[sean-ft]

as someone that is new to modding (just come from console to pc) this has been a great guide thanks. played skyrim since its release and still never finished it, played skyrim ps4vr since release and never finished, now its time to get lost in the pc vr version guess ill never finish this either 😂

[ElAssoWipo]

anyone else sitting and waiting till the damn download is finally finished? Its 4 a.m btw xD

[jaydoublemIII]

I'm having trouble using mantella. The npcs are just saying that they can't find the words right now... would you be able to make a video about how to properly intall??

[connorfields]

Love this video. It is always my go to for a clean reinstall. Please post a video showing how to set up Mantella on the current 2.06 version!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[mkmuc]

This Video helped me a lot. Thank you very much🎉

[Romanplaystation]

Just got my first ever PC so i can use my PSVR2 with PCVR and the UEVR injector. Bought a 4090 to cover all bases.
As soon as Skyrim VR goes on a decent sale. (Already bought it on PS3, PS4, and PSVR1 so yeaaaah, lol) Then i will come back to this video for help.
Thank you so much, mate. This looks INCREDIBLE. ❤️
