Okay, I tested the VR mod myself and it works.Yeah, that part annoyed me too.
Speaking of which, in the meantime has anyone tested this new (just released today) Universal Unreal Engine VR injector with the game to see if it works currently without getting banned? Native would be better but if this works it will be a good alternative in the meantime.

It is a bit rough though. You may have to set Steam command arguments to -nohmd in order to get it to work.
I did not test it with OpenVR yet and might not bother since it is already working on OpenXR for me.
Launch injector > restart as administrator > Launch game and get to main menu > alt+tab to injector and click the correct program from drop down list > Inject. Put headset back on.
I had to use mouse in main menu and Gallery, however, in Harem mode once I actually joined Erotes/Spacestation I could use my motion controllers to walk and move camera, keyboard for other controls like starting a position. Can probably make a custom configuration to do it all with controller or just use KB + M. Might be able to get it to work more natively with some messing around but I haven't figured out how to get motion controls to typically work correctly in other games yet though they're supposedly supported.
Performance was fine for me but this is a RTX 4090 and higher than 4K resolution with my headset. Those who lack a powerful PC will definitely want to consider starting settings at a lower configuration first and then crank them up rather than starting it in a nausea inducing stutter fest and turning it down.
It looked good in VR and is worth getting this free mod to work until the proper VR update is added. It also reminds me and pisses me off that VR was removed to begin with when there isn't a sufficient reason for this to have occurred since it just required some basic GUI updates.
