Fight new monsters, explore new places, build settlements and let your creativity flow! Conquer overhauled and new places, immerse yourself in a world of monsters & bandits, and most importantly — have fun!

Yggdrasil VR is an ambitious curated modlist that seeks to overhaul and expand Skyrim VR to make it more balanced, challenging, varied, good looking and most importantly immersive while making sure it's playable on lower spec configurations with good performance!

The modlist at the moment has around 1200 mods. It adds tons of new spells, locations, dungeons, monsters, bandits and touches on most facets of gameplay. I have detailed underneath how different types of gameplays are affected. It is by no means a "must" to fit into one of these, and I have tried to give enough opportunities at each corner to give more options, however it's a good read to see how your experience might differ from vanilla.

If you want to see a full list of what is included take a look at https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/yggdrasil-vr.


  • Everything is interactable! Well, almost everything, but you won’t notice much of what isn’t.
  • Many things are smashable! Barrels, tables, chairs, bookshelves!
  • Lots of lootable clutter, collect it or sell it, it’s your choice.
  • Explore more ruins, camp with your followers after while you have a drink (with HIGGS) and maybe research some spells.
  • Make use of the map and compass to find your way around Skyrim!
  • Fast travel using carriages, boats or signs! Next time you pass by a road sign, try pointing at some of the arrows on it!
  • Find out more about the lives of Skyrim’s citizens via the added dialogue mods.

  • There’s a plethora of placeable statics, the world is your canvas, build whatever you want!‣ Collect your materials (via infinite ore veins) or buy them from traders.
  • Make use of Decorator Helper to move existing objects or to adjust the placed statics with a finer control

  • Spell learning is no longer done by eating books. All spells (and spell books by extension) now have a short description detailing the archetypes required to research it (or for reference in case you want to try making a similar spell), so getting a new spell is done by either researching yourself, reading the description of a spell book telling you the shortcut to the desired spell or learning the spell in a vanilla+ fashion through the use of Spell Tutor. This means you can get early access to some unique spells that you might only be able to get via specific quests or locations via spell research, but it also means that learning a spell will be your downtime action, be it at camp or in town, no matter which option you go through. Dungeons aren't the best places for academic studies anyway.
  • Because of this big change, Spellsiphon is now given at the beginning of the game so you can choose to either be a warlock and use Spellsiphon, or be a proper mage and research your spells.
  • The second big change is Grimoire — learning a spell is no longer the finish line. Spells can only be cast with the spell tome in your inventory, until you’ve finished training with it, and after that you’ll be empowering it even more.
  • Disenchant most artifacts! Place them on anything else you want (I recommend getting the perk that lets you disenchant items without losing the items, so you don’t lose your precious artifacts).

  • No time for lockpicking? Do you think lockpicks are for plebs? Just smash the lock.
  • Someone looking funny at you? Grabb'em, yeet'em.
  • Knock out your opponents with the new pommel of your sword! Enemies will be knocked out if hit at lot health, as they’re now at your mercy.
  • Tougher enemies are just around the corner, but you can dodge them by crouching at the opportune moment!
  • Vampires are now a true menace for Skyrim, you’ll need silver if you want to put an end to them.

  • Lockpicks are limited — both in loot, and in how many you can carry. You can’t just hold 200 lockpicks in your inventory, you’re instead limited to 30, this way the lockpicking tree will be more useful to you.
  • Knock out your opponents with the new knockout poison!
