Just purchase the DLC?

[anomalousgoo]

I'm seeing some people are showing the DLC working for the VR version if they already have fallout 4 with the DLC purchased on the non-VR version. Could I just purchase the season pass for the non-VR version and it'll work on Fallout VR?

I don't think you can purchase just the DLC without owning the base Fallout 4 (non-VR) version. If you could, that would be awesome, but if you have Fallout 4 and get the DLC, there are ways to move the files to get them to work in Fallout 4 VR and some mods to get them to work mostly.

I already own the DLC and they work in Fallout 4 VR, however, I would not recommend buying them specifically for Fallout 4 VR. There are too many bugs that it isn't worth it and there are some areas that you must move save files and use the non-VR version of Fallout 4 to get past certian areas/quests.

Nope, not possible. You have to have the base game to buy the DLCs. However I saw someone suggesting to buy the game (just the base, not the DLCs), then buy the DLCs separately, install them, and refund the base game purchase. That might work, but no guarantee ! I find them very playable with the correct mods installed. Far Harbor and Nuka World in particular.

Wait you can do that? The saves are cross compatible between VR and non-VR?

I'd say your mileage may vary, but yes. I've done it many times with no issues, though I haven't done it since the last update. I didn't want to do a lot of grinding in VR so took a save that I had the initial settlement setup and then when I went to Nuka World and the water zapper crashed (before the mod fix for it came out), I copied the save to the base fallout game, got past that point, moved it back to the VR version and proceeded along.

Some people reported that 'Far Harbor' and the 'automatron' DLC's don't work... Far harbor had missing textures that apparently as far as i know, nobody fixed.

Far Harbor's textures have two fixes out there, one is large and replaces/rebuilds textures. Automatron crashes at certain points because the robot workshop is broken, which you can get past by moving the saves.

I have to say I think not enabling the dlc for Fo4VR is a fatal mistake. I would love to use the DLC's, i am fully prepared to pay for them - I know about mods and ALL DLC's are reported to work (there are corrections for any known issues in the community) However I simply am not purchasing FO4 a thrid time (I already own it on PS4 from the original releasee and the VR version) In fact the decision to not support this probably without another purchase of the game i find an insult to the consumer and I will never purchase another one of their products.. ever...
