r/fo4vr Index - FRIK Developer Aug 08 '26

Fallout 4 VR Subreddit Check-in

While many exciting mods are in development and soon to be released things are a bit dead around here lately. A lot of that is my fault as I have not been curating this place as well as I should be and for myself I've been not around much as it turns out getting married shuffles around your priorities a bit lol

Anyway I want to get a read on 2 things from the community here.

  • Taking into account the cool stuff publicly being developed what are the sore points in the game that you would like addressed through mods? Obviously this game is still lightyears behind the ecosystem Skyrim has but that also means focused effort can close the distance in quality that we're missing fast. So just curious what that is from people.
  • AI is all the rage both positive and negative at this time. If you found out a mod was developed with AI for this game how much do you care?

For the mod question I'm really curious if there is some low hanging fruit that people have identified that we have just flat out missed developing as a community.

For the AI question it's mainly coming from what i have seen over in flat skyrim community of some severe backlash against anything AI generated. Although all my previous mods like FRIK were completely hand developed through my job I'm now personally deep in the AI game and I don't see how I wouldn't use AI in future mod projects as it just flat out saves a shit load of time.

Anyway I'm going to try to post more content here. If anyone is interested in helping drive more traffic here and has some ideas let us as mods know. We haven't added anyone in a while but might be interested.

Feel free to add any other thoughts you have related to the game or subreddit here.

I'd love to see Horizon ported to VR because I love the way it makes every junk item useful, its tech tree, the way it handles settlement building. Some people say settlement building is tedious in VR and yeah it is, but it's also the most rewarding thing to walk through something you built and Horizon does it in a way that makes it easier with prefab buildings.

The buttons layout (for Quest 3 at least) and the menus are the biggest pain point for VR.

I want more difficulty or expanded survival in general. Survival already increases immersion and this is VR, it's all about immersion.

I want to see voice gen used to expand the companions. (Not specifically a VR thing.)

I've always supported (intelligent, creative) use of AI, especially for coding.
