tl;dr

• Wanting to play Fallout 4 in VR, I quickly realized I must use mods; after trying out the 3 available modlists, “GingasVR’s Essentials Overhaul” was the best.
• After playing “vanilla” Gingas modlist for 10+ hours, I started noticing changes I didn’t like, but customizing the mods and gameplay was hard and error-prone.
• After spending far too much time, I finally managed to customize the gameplay to my liking by removing ~30 mods, adding ~6, and tweaking INIs.
• In my humble opinion (IMHO), the result is focused on gameplay, closer to vanilla, and better balanced.
• I would like to offer the steps I took to customize the modlist, as a guide for others.
• For comments and questions, please see my Reddit post.

HD Update 2025

• GingasVR updated the modlist in August 2025.
• Most of my guide is still relevant on how to customize a modlist.
• I’ve added, removed, and updated recommendations where necessary.
