Essential improvements

Manually porting original game's DLC

Not all parts of the DLC will work correctly. Requires owning the DLC in Fallout 4, and having an installed copy of it.

Copy DLC folders^{[citation needed]}
In the Fallout 4 directory, go to `<path-to-game>\Data`. Copy all folders starting with `DLC_*`. In the Fallout 4 VR directory, go to `<path-to-game>\Data`. Paste the copied folders there.

Merging original and VR installations

Requires an install of Fallout 4 and Fallout 4 VR on the same drive. Reduces total space taken by games by ~20 GB.

Use Narod's Fallout 4 VR SpaceSaver^{[citation needed]}
