Recommended with the caveat that it's not a good VR experience out of the box, you need mods.

Without a combination of VRIK [www.nexusmods.com], HIGGS [www.nexusmods.com] & PLANCK [www.nexusmods.com] you will feel like a ghost walking through the world who occasionally bonks things with a sword. With these three mods, you'll be much more than a floating pair of hands that can't touch anything. You can directly interact with objects and NPC's in the world, the thing that makes VR games convincing and fun in the first place.

The scale of the world is truly impressive, it's fun to visit familiar locations and get a real sense of how large and detailed these places are. The 3D does put some of the visual flaws under a microscope though, you can't trick the eye with normal maps like you can in 2D. A lot of objects look flat to a degree I found distracting. Luckily this is essentially just the Special Edition so 99% of the mods released work on here. There are re-textures and high-poly versions of just about every asset in the game at this point.

Skyrim VR can be great but you'll have to put in time and effort on the Nexus to get it there. That's not going to be worth it for some.
