I've added a Troubleshooting section to the main page with some common issues that have been reported. Please check there to see if you have a similar issue before posting!
If you have an issue, please provide as much detail as you can, and be as specific as you can. Ideally, include steps to reproduce the issue. The more information you can give, the more likely it is for me (or anyone else) to be able to help and/or fix the issue. Screenshots and/or video clips of the issue help a lot. If your issue includes a crash, use Crash Logger and include your crash log.
How do you feel about implementing 'Pickable plants' into this mod?
As in, you walk up to a plant, reach down and instead of the standard harvest activation, the associated harvest item (i.e. deathbell, mushroom, nirnroot, etc...) spawns into your hand with Higgs which you can then move into your inventory via mageVr backpack.
This would make harvesting plants VERY immersive with the feel of actually picking it off the bush and physically moving it into another container. Asguards Wrath does this and it's a fantastic little system.
Hey, has the idea been thrown around before to have some kind of limitation when not two-handing a two-handed melee weapon? Less damage or more stamina cost or not being able to do power attacks or something? Seems to me like a thing that could be implemented to further incentivize using those weapons them two-handed, if there's not a major technical limitation preventing it.
It is possible to do this from another mod, higgs has api functions that can be used for twohanding detection. I don't really want to do it within higgs because I don't want to be making too many balance decisions.
Got a dumb question for you. Are arrows not supposed to be able to be picked back up once fired? I am playing on a fresh Yggdrasil install and I can only interact with a fired arrow via the gravity gloves. I assume it is due to some mod interaction (probably Simple Realistic Archery VR) but I am brand new to modding VR. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Apparently, after a period of time ~5 minutes, I can pick them back up normally. I assume some mod is flagging it as a physics object for that duration?
How difficult would it be to add Half Life: Alyx style physical hands that collide with the world itself, not just dynamic objects? I'm sure someone has requested this before, and I can't see adding physical hands alone causing too many problems (not including physical weapons). Of course, I'm sure it would take a while to implement, and you may have other things on your mind.
Also, is there a Discord associated with your mods? Would be interesting to see progress updates/be able to chat in there/ask questions about the API. I know there is the SkyrimRE server, but there isn't too much VR-related chatter in there.
I think I want to start having a go at the hands sometime soon, just working on something else at the moment. A lot of the stuff relating to the grab with making it more physical, dealing with moving objects, etc over time was a bit of a testing ground for that. I don't think there is anything huge in the way of applying a similar thing to the hands at this point. I don't have a personal discord or anything like that, but I am in the RE server as Atom, feel free to message there, here, reddit, anywhere.
Quick Question... Why are there some objects that cant be pulled/grabbed to you with this? Like the Unified Potions mod isn't interactable physically for example.
Any moveable physics objects should be grabbable/pullable. Which potions are not grabbable for you? I just tried Unified Potions and they all work for me (at least the potions you start with, minor health/magicka/etc potion)
Hey FlyingParticle, thanks for answering. The mod author just updated the mod and now higgs works great with it. Not sure why it wasnt working before. Thanks for following it up.
One minor thing with the Eagle Eye / Steady Hand archery perk while using two-handed crossbows - it will activate the slowed time when pressing the firing trigger *then* the off-hand trigger. If you press the off-hand trigger first *then* the firing trigger, the indrawn breath sound will play but time will not slow down.
I have the strangest bug. I don't think its caused in any part by HIGGS but im hoping maybe you can help me troubleshoot since this is just downright odd.
Whenever I look too closely at a barrel my FPS drops to unbelievably choppy (feels ~20fps). However this symptom completely goes away if I hold any object in my hand with HIGGS. If I look away enough from the barrel, or I walk far enough back it also stops lagging to me. It seems so unbelievably strange to me that if I pick up an object the framerate is completely unaffected, no matter how close I get, but the moment I drop it my framerate nukes again.
If you have any idea what might be going on here I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your great mods!
What are the barrels? Are they added by a mod? Does the slowdown happen without higgs installed? If it's only with higgs installed, what if you point the palms of your hands away from the barrel, does that make any difference?
The barrels are the barrels in The Realm of Lorkhan - Alternate Start, but it seems the regular barrels in solitude do the same thing. It also happens when I go near the plaques and some display cases in The Legacy of The Dragonborn. It still happens regardless of the direction of my palms. I'll have to try without HIGGS installed and get back to you on that, but I found few more clues towards the issue.
- Its not just when I'm holding something, but even when my hands gets close enough to an object that the interact prompt comes up. - According to the performance tab of my Task Manager, my GPU usage is dropping very very low while my game is stuttering, which is opposite of what I was kind of expected since I thought maybe they were too high resolution and bottlenecking my GPU.
This wasn't happening to me before I installed some lighting mods such as Light Placer VR, CS Light, Skylighting, and Cloud Shadows. But now even with them all disabled in Vortex I still have this issue.

How should I perform the capture?
As in, you walk up to a plant, reach down and instead of the standard harvest activation, the associated harvest item (i.e. deathbell, mushroom, nirnroot, etc...) spawns into your hand with Higgs which you can then move into your inventory via mageVr backpack.

Anyways, no pressure, just an idea :)
Thank you for this incredible mod!
(Thanks for these mods btw ^_^)

It’s caught me out a few times!
