VR Launch Codes (Fallout4_VR.esm loader for Idle Hands etc.)

This batch file is a launcher for Fallout 4 VR with F4SEVR.

It checks your plugins.txt for the Fallout4_VR.esm

line required by some VR mods such as CylonSurfer's

Idle Hands  (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42922)

If it's already  there, it'll to try to launch Fallout 4 VR

using the F4SEVR loader (https://f4se.silverlock.org/)

If the line is missing (thanks, LOOT/Vortex) then it'll make the

fix and try to launch the F4SEVR loader.

Installation:

Mod Manager will put the file in your Data directory.

Or manually extract the .cmd from the . 7z and shove it where you'd like.

It's just a batch file and pathing shouldn't matter - as long as it ends up somewhere it can write to.

Usage:

Get Steam going and run the cmd file (typey type, double-click, create a shortcut; choose your poison).

v0. 1 source:
