📋 About This Mod

 

Immersive Smithing aims to provide a more "VR Centric" overhaul to Skyrims menu driven smithing mechanics. Players can now create a Black Smiths hammer at any forge and learn how to smith like some of the finest in the trade.

Players can finally smelt ore in a real time, context sensitive way at one of Skyrims many smelters before using those precious materials to improve their favorite weapons and armor. Why dive into a menu which removes you from the game world when you can actually use the many tools and workstations dotted around the forge to upgrade your items? Why stop there? When paired with Realistic Mining the process of creating ingots for smithing can now be completed without opening a single text based menu!

Combine Immersive Smithing with Shizofs amazing Durability VR mod in order add another exciting layer of depth to your Skyrim VR experience! With the two mods combined you can immersively complete maintenance tasks on your favorite weapons and armor peices between adventures and optionally repair those items broken in the heat of battle!!



Before installing this mod be sure to have read its required mods list and installed all of the mods listed on it. Every one of them, other than 'Durability VR', are required along with their own dependancies - Be sure to have installed them and completed any in-game configuration which may be required before installing 'Immersive Smithing'.

Installation:

  • []Install Immersive smithing with your favorite mod manager

    []If using SMIM ensure that SMIMs version of 'blacksmithforgemarkerwr.nif' is overwriting the version provided in this mod.

    Immersive Smithing does not interfere with the vanilla smithing game mechanics in any way. Feel free to choose between using the new functions provided by this mod or the standard menu based smithing depending on your mood - the choice is yours!
