SkyrimNet VR Hotkey & Gesture Setup Guide

A recommended configuration for VR users (SkyrimNet MCM Hotkeys + VRIK Gestures)

Overview​

SkyrimNet provides multiple ways to trigger AI interactions in VR. The recommended workflow for VR users is:

  1. Assign hotkeys directly in the SkyrimNet MCM first.
  2. If you run out of available controller buttons, use VRIK gestures as additional inputs.

To make this flexible and conflict-free, VR players may optionally use a hotkey management mod to free up buttons:

Hotkeys System SE/AE (Nexus 68164)

This mod helps:

  • clear default Skyrim VR button actions
  • reassign vanilla functions elsewhere
  • free physical buttons for SkyrimNet hotkeys

— Configure Buttons Using SkyrimNet MCM Hotkeys​

The SkyrimNet MCM includes a comprehensive Hotkeys page. Assign your preferred controller buttons here first.

Important​

A controller button assigned to SkyrimNet must not be performing another Skyrim VR action, or the game and the mod will conflict.

— Use VRIK Gestures When Buttons Run Out​

If all controller buttons are already used or you prefer hands-free interaction, configure VRIK gestures for SkyrimNet actions.

To configure:

  1. Open VRIK MCM → Gesture Config
  2. Set Gesture Action = Mod Action
  3. Choose which SkyrimNet action each gesture triggers
