VRIK is an absolutely must-have mod for Skyrim VR. But it's sometimes hard to find the "this feels right"-settings, even with the built-in adjustment assistant. So here I am sharing my long term tested setup, which should be perfect for all people 1.85m (6'1") tall. On request of several users, I added a second version that is designed for people around 1.75m (5'9") tall; since I am cannot perfectly test it, feel free to give feedback. Some general explanations:
- World scale: Since Skyrim was not intentionally a VR game, many environment objects are oversized (which is common in flat games). You can change that via the mod's world scaling adjustment, but then NPCs get tiny too and you're a giant. So I tweaked a lot with viewport position, body size and world scale to provide the best compromise.
- Self-visibility of Playerbody: When you look down, it's sometimes difficult to see your lower body because the view is blocked by your clothing and armor, or you clip into your body. The key is to find an appropriate viewport positioning relative to the avatar model, which I did here (the mod allows to manipulate this position and keep it fixed then).
- Weapon slots: As you can see in the video, I've set up some important weapon slots. This is of course somewhat subjective, but I think it makes sense for a lot of people. My holster positions made sure, that the weapons and items are easy to grab and at the same time, didn't clip into your view when crouching or arm stretching. I could go on and on about why I placed each weapon that way, but that would take too long. Simply enjoy it, if it fits for you.
- (I haven't assigned any gestures as I do all the magic related things via Spell Wheel VR, which I can highly recommend)
Installation: Make sure your VR-to-real-world floor level is calibrated correctly (especially for SteamVR or WMR users). Then copy the downloaded files (which are read-only by default to prevent unintentionally in-game change) in the VRIK mod's settings folder and don't forget to back up yours, if you want to. Folder path for (1) older version and (2) latest version:
(1) [...] \mods\VRIK V0.8.1 Test Build 28\SKSE\Plugins
(2) [...] \mods\VRIK Player Avatar\SKSE\Plugins
Thats it.
