Skyrim VR launched earlier this week, giving Oculus Rift and HTC Vive owners an excuse to jump back in and slay dragons for the umpteenth time. I'd love to play it, but I don't doubt that at some point the VR novelty will wear off and you'll be left playing the vanilla version of Skyrim, and all that entails. Eventually, you'll probably want to install Skyrim mods—and you can already do just that through both Nexus Mod Manager and Vortex, the Skyrim Nexus's (relatively) new mod management tool.
Reddit user tyrielwood has created this handy guide for getting mods to work with Skyrim VR using the Nexus Mod Manager, and you can find it in video form at the bottom of this post. It involves tinkering with some of the game files, but it's nothing too taxing.
Alternatively—and potentially an easier option—you could use Vortex, the new go-to mod manager for Nexus mods that was released in February in an attempt to address some of the failings of the Nexus Mod Manager. You can install Vortex here and read this handy guide that another Reddit user has written to get mods working in Skyrim VR.
I imagine that some mods won't agree with VR, and I'd be wary of texture changes and other visual enhancements. But mods that add quests, items or characters should work in exactly the same way.
Skyrim VR is £39.99/$59.99/€59.99 on Steam and the Humble Store.
By Brendan Graeber Skyrim is a game so massive that you can explore the tundras for days and still not see everything. Even if you’ve slain every dragon, joined every guild, and completed every quest, the game is just full of secrets that might just slip you by. One of the best things about Skyrim? It's on everything. It's like the Minecraft of first-person fantasy RPGs. Get Skyrim on Switch or the Skyrim Legendary Edition on PC, it's the same awesome game, with the same cool touches you may have missed. Here are 9 Skyrim Secrets you might not know about.
The Notched Pickaxe - Minecraft Easter Egg
Arguably the most classic of Skyrim secrets, it still deserves a mention for those who haven’t found it. Travel to Skyrim’s highest mountain peak, the Throat of the World, and climb to the top of the summit. Globalmu season 13 hack 2019 pc. Here you’ll find a very special Notched Pickaxe embedded in some malachite ore. This is a callback to the incredibly popular Minecraft, created by none other than Markus “Notch” Persson.
Infinite Arrow Trick
This little secret is a must for any archer thief. Find an NPC who often practices his archery against a target dummy, and pickpocket his arrows, replacing them with one arrow of high quality. The NPC will then shoot multiple arrows of that type at the target, letting you gather multiple arrows from the dummy.
Choose Your Own Adventure
When questing across the land of Skyrim, it’s easy to forgot to stop and read some books now and then. Why not take a comfy break and have an adventure in a book! The book Kolb and the Dragon: A book for Nord Boys, is actually a choose your own adventure styled book. Just pick a path at the end of each page and try to get a good ending, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. No cheating!
The Headless Horseman
One of the more spooky secrets in Skyrim, you can find a Headless Horseman roaming the wilds on his spectral steed. He can be hard to locate, but if you manage to find and follow him to his final destination, you’ll find yourself at Hamvir’s Rest, where along with a number of undead enemies, you can find a coffin with a helmeted skull. Too Spooky For Me.
The Chill: Winterhold’s Jail
The Chill represents one of Skyrim’s more sneakier secrets. It’s location is often missed, as its found almost off the north edge of the map, past the College of Winterhold. This cave is actually a jail for Winterhold, and being mages and all, they went and made a Frost Atronach as a guard. You can actually get sent here by getting arrested by a Winterhold guard, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Even if you escape, you’ll have to contend with three more Frost Atronachs waiting outside.
Hidden Peaks of Solstheim
These next few secrets can only be found with Skyrim’s final DLC expansion: Dragonborn. The DLC island of Solstheim has much to hide, like the 4 hidden peaks that represent some of the highest points of the island. You won’t even see this location icons on your display until you are nearly at the top of the peaks, and they require a bit of platforming to summit. If you reach the top, you’ll be able to fast travel back at any time for some amazing views.
Ride an Invincible Dragon
The Dragonborn DLC featured the ability to ride dragons, but what good is a dragon that’s just going to either die or turn on you? If you travel back to the Throat of the World after learning the new shout, you can summon your personal dragon to the ground from where he flies around the peak, and ride him wherever you please through fast traveling. Best of all, he’s an important NPC that can’t be killed, and he won’t turn on you like other tamed dragons.
The Ebony Knight
If you’ve never heard of the Ebony Warrior, don’t worry. You have to get to level 80 in Skyrim until this guy will show up on your doorstep, asking for one simple request: A duel to the death. This guy isn’t a pushover either: Entirely clad in enchanted ebony armor, he’s got everything from the best weapons to dragon shouts of his own! He’s easily one of the toughest enemies you’ll fight in the game, so don’t feel bad if you want to bring a friend..or a dragon.
The Spider Imbuing Chamber
The Dragonborn DLC also features a little known crafting area known as the Spider Imbuing Chamber. Once you’ve cleared White Ridge Barrow on the island of Solstheim, you’ll find a large crafting device that inputs gems and albino spider pods, and outputs throwable exploding spiders. You heard me. You can customize the effect of the spider with different gems, and stock up on spiders to truly become: Spiderborn.

I don't want to watch the prisoner cart ride to the execution: is it possible to skip this?
If so, how? Can I replace the intro movie file by some empty video?

Skyrim Vr Alternate Start Mod

The game automatically saves the game just before the Imperials start reading off names.
Once you've played through the intro once (and assuming you haven't turned off Auto-Save) you can always load that game: It should list your name as 'Prisoner', your Race as 'Nord' and your level as '1'. (And is likely save 001).

If playing on the PC, installing the Alternate Start - Live Another Life mod will allow you to skip the game introduction cinematic at Helgen. It will offer a choice of which location you want to start in (you can start the game in Dawnstar, for example).
Live Another Life provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen. You will be given the opportunity to choose your race and then choose a new life for your character to lead. A wide variety of choices will be available..
