This will work with other Steam VR games, and I did get it to work with SkyrimVR also.
- Summary: (Software you will need)
- Virtual Desktop
- SideQuest
- SteamVR
- Fallout 4 VR
- Details:
- Virtual Desktop:
- Purchase the version from your Oculus 2 Headset, there are several versions of Virtual Desktop, and you will need this one to avoid problems.
- SideQuest
- This is needed to be able to “side load” unofficial patches, so you will need to install the “Virtual Desktop” patch from SideQuest
- You can download SideQuest here: https://sidequestvr.com/
- More info about SideQuest here: https://uploadvr.com/sideloading-quest-how-to/
- SteamVR
- This app is available from the Steam store on your computer.
- Fallout 4 VR
- Purchase this from the SteamVR store.
- Virtual Desktop:
- Running Fallout 4 VR:
- Connect to Virtual Desktop from your Oculus Quest 2 headset
- Click the menu button to show the VR Menu
- Launch SteamVR
- Run Fallout 4 VR
At this point, if you are not using mods for Fallout 4 VR, then you’re done and can play.
If you are using mods that require the Script Extender, you cannot just “Run Fallout 4 VR” because it will not run the script extender. For me, I had to do the following:
- Running Fallout 4 VR with Mods:
- Connect to Virtual Desktop from your Oculus Quest 2 headset
- Click the menu button to show the VR Menu
- Launch SteamVR
- Click the menu button
- Show Desktop
- In Vortex, click the FO4SE
- Click the menu button
- Return to VR
This setup is just a summary of what worked for me based on the following article:

Vortex is the mod manager used by NexusMods:
