About this mod
This mod is aimed at 'Room Scale' players who enjoy using a real chair while their character uses furniture pieces in game. It adds a 'L.A Noire: VR Case Files' inspired approach to using furniture pieces in Fallout 4 VR.

Do you hate how Fallout 4 VR handles furniture in game? How when you choose to sit on a chair your characters height does not change so you feel like you are 'stood in the chair' rather than 'sitting on the chair'?! This mod allows you place a real life chair in your VR play space and then use it when you choose to sit on in-game furniture items such as chairs, benches, sofas & stools.
Feel more immersed in the rich world around you, sit at the noodle bar in Diamond Cities market area or take a seat in one of the many booths found in cafes & bars and watch the world go by - all while using your real life chair!
This mod is not aimed at players who remain seated at all times.
A simplfied explanation of what the mod does:
When a user selects a furniture piece to sit on:
- It stops the sitting down animation
- Fades the screen to black
- A message box is displayed asking the player to be seated and to then press the trigger button to continue.
- Once the trigger button is pressed the sitting down animation continues, the
screen fades from black back to the game at which point your character
will be seated, oriented and positioned correctly on the furniture piece in-line with your real life self.
When a user exits a furniture piece:
- It stops the standing up animation
- Fades the screen to black
- A message box is displayed asking the player to stand & return to the
center of their play space and then press the trigger button to
continue
- Once the trigger button is pressed the standing up animation continues and the screen fades from
black back to the game with the player positioned next to the furniture
piece.
