Today I start playing with the Sim Settlements mod for the first time in Fallout 4 VR. I'm using version 3.4.6 of the mod because it's more compatible in VR than the latest version. My full mod list and time stamps are below.

0:00 Sim Settlements intro and building
5:20 City Managers Desk
8:50 Establishing the 2nd settlement
11:03 Assigning the City Leader

Here are my INI tweaks. I got all of these from here:
reddit.com/r/fo4vr/comments/gs2f4g/sharing_what_i_have_learned_from_my_fallout_4_vr
Head to that link for all the explanations of these!


[Display]
iShadowMapResolution=1024

[Controls]
fSprintStopDirectionThresholdDegrees=180

[VR]
fScopeScale=3

[VRInput]
fWeaponScopeOffsetY=10
fHMDScopeOffsetY=-8

fMeleeCooldownMultiplier=0.01
fBlockCooldown=0.01


Also, in SteamVR I've set the game resolution to 75% and that helped improve performance.
