Far Harbor?

[Kainite]

The game is released with no DLC right? The only one i really want is Far Harbor and i dont see any download option. How? If its a mod - whats mod?

Far Harbor is DLC for the flat game.

Ya - i know that but a lot of people are playing it in VR and im not sure how?

They bought + installed the flat game with Far Harbor, then followed one of the discussions on how to get the DLC working on their FO4VR install.

A lot of FO4VR players use a program called Vortex to enable the DLC and also install mods on their FO4VR install:

Hope that helps. It's awesome.

Our saint and savior, thank you.

I prefer using the community edition of Nexus Mod Manager, no real reason why, just prefer it over Vortex.
I also recommend this mod, and I'm using it myself to play Far Harbor presently.

Cheers for this mod, and I'm going to add, despite this mod's description suggesting an alternative "optimization" mod for "performance," stick with this above linked mod by Madiun81 for DLC compatibility. After reading the comments on steam, nexus, and reddit, I came to the conclusion that the people who couldn't get nukaworld stable in VR were using the other mod along with weather and/or terrain mods.

Testing my theory, I bought Nukaworld, followed the same procedure as I did for Far Harbor, used the combined compatibility mod from Maduin81 (same link, third file), and played Nukaworld through without a single crash. That's better stability than I got in non-DLC areas.

To be fair, I haven't played Ye Olde Nuka Worlde, and I have a fair bit of environmental/weather mods. I haven't had any issues using the [linked in my prior post] mod. I use the combined mod, so I'll have to report back when I get to Nuka World, though that may be a while. I'm a big fan of taking my time, and I'm really enjoying the Far Harbor experience in VR.
