I’m genuinely this desperate. I’m a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I’ve just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I’m not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.
I’ll PayPal the money, it’s not much but it’s literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I’m just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.
I tried to play the official Skyrim VR and couldn’t even make it through the intro because the horse cart would bug out before it completed the path. I haven’t even started the modding process yet but it’s funny that I’ll likely have to do that to even play at all 🙃
I think the cart doing weird things has something to do with the framerate. It’s been years since I tried playing skyrim, but I vaguely remember that the physics was somehow tied to the framerate.
And this post on the steam forum seems to confirm it https://steamcommunity.com/app/72850/discussions/0/3195866872030068939/
Thank you kind stranger for the lead, I’ll give that a look!
That’s when you use an Alternate Start mod. I highly recommend Realm of Lorkhan or Alternate Perspective. There’s even a mod for those two to combine. With the Wabbajack stuff above, I would even recommend starting with something like the FUS / FUS Heavy modlists, or you can go all out with the Mad God’s Overhaul 3.7.
I can’t vouch how any of this runs on Linux tho. Maybe I’ll flip eventually.
If I don’t get to hear “Hey you, you’re finally awake” to start my day, I don’t feel like I’m even playing Skyrim.
I can’t wait to reverse my current experience of this, which is hearing the quote and then the cart bumps a rock and we go 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃 until the cart wedges behind a rock or tree and the horse gets spaghettified
Thanks for the advice. My experience was on Windows, using a Quest 2. I’m killing my PC this month and installing Debian, so I’m sure I’ll have a whole new set of challenges on the there
