In addition to in-game features, mods can include new characters, levels, weapons, and even benefits not included by the developers.

Nexus Mods to Mods for VR Games 

Nexus Mods is one of the largest or even the most prominent and most-known modding websites that give you thousands upon thousands of possible mods for almost any game in the VR library you want. If you wish to add high-res textures, have new game mechanics introduced, or completely change the game's physics system, this website has it all. Some of VR's most heavily modded games include Skyrim VR, Blade & Sorcery, and Half-Life: Alyx. The nice thing about mod managers like Vortex is that they automate much of the installation process, so players would not have to spend a lot of their time trying to customize their experience without any technical knowledge.

Beat Saber, for instance, has a vast community that creates custom song maps, allowing players to enjoy their favorite music tracks in an entirely new way. Websites like BeastSaber offer thousands of community-made levels. Similarly, Boneworks and Blade & Sorcery feature custom maps that expand the possibilities of their physics-driven gameplay.

Enhancing Graphics and Performance with ReShade

VR games demand high performance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve visuals with mods.

Additionally, texture-enhancing mods for games like Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR improve visual fidelity, making older games look stunning in VR.

Experimenting with VR Script Mods and Total Conversions

For more advanced users, script mods can completely change how a VR game functions.
