Hi all, so if i remember correctly a couple months ago facebook pretty much killed mod support for the Quest. Now i've had beat saber installed on there with costum songs since last year, and have not updated since because i have no idea what it'll do to the game. So i have a couple of qyestions.

If i update my game now, will my custom songs dissapear? Or will they remain in the game.
If i update my game, and my songs do dissapear, is there a way of remodding it so i can add songs again? If there is, what's the latest good way to do so?

My quest is just my Beat Saber machine, so if i can't get custom songs there's really no point in having it. Thanks for the help!

By not installing the latest updates, you're missing some absolutely amazing songs from Camellia. You should definitely update the game now.

I followed this tutorial to get custom songs on Beat Saber on Quest more recently:

Beat Saber modding how-to


IMO I don't think most custom songs are worth the trouble, but if you like what you've played, that tutorial should do the trick.

Waiting for my Quest. Taking note of this. But was thinking of getting the PC version instead, seems like there's more songs options? Too bad it's not cross-buy.

That's awesome, guess i'll be updating and installing this. Shame about my high scores, but its a small price to pay to finally update . Thanks!

Honestly, without custom songs the game is no fun at all. Don't really like any of the songs included with the base game.

Can you share some of your favorite custom songs? I spent hours walling through BeastSaber and felt like I was wasting my time since the vast majority of songs I tried were simply not fun to play, even if I liked the songs themselves. I tried following specific song mappers and such and just had such bad luck with it.

What difficulty/sort of song are you looking for? I can recommend some stuff depending on what you're looking for!

I'd be a bit careful with going for the PC version if you intend to use Oculus Link on the Quest. Link can start to show video artifacts for fast moving content, but more importantly it has a little bit more input lag compared to playing games natively on the Quest which can throw you off in a rhythm game like Beat Saber.

Play some custom charts for Konami music game songs like Albida or FLOWER.

I installed BMBF and use this giant list of tracks as my library now. Some losers in here, but some pretty phenomenal winners.
My whole list: https://bsaber.com/songs/new/?bookmarked_by=thatsmytrunks

Specific picks:
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance - The Only Thing I Know For Real
Snail's House - Pixel Galaxy
Bastille - Pompeii
Madeon - Pop Culture
Psy - Daddy
Psy - Gangnam Style
ELO - Mister Blue Sky
DJ Fresh - Louder (Amazing Lightshow)
Nero - Doomsday
DMX / Carly Rae Jepson - X Gon Give It To Ya Maybe (No Joke, it's a Blast)
BLR - Seagulls! (Stop It Now)
Flux Pavillion - I Can't Stop

Also Beat Sage sucks right now. It'll get better with time and as the algorithm improves, but right now nothing that it spit out was any fun.

After playing the demo with the Quest I ended up just going with the native app. I'll either be using AMD Relive or VD for linking to my PC since from what I've heard it can work better than with a wire anyway.

And yeah I saw that Beat Sage and BMBF work well enough now with the Quest version. So I'm happy about that. Didn't try to install sidequest yet though. So I gotta start there.

I can do most of the 30+ songs which come with the game on Expert+, and the Camellia songs on Expert. I really love ones which simply have creative and fun patterns, not difficulty just for the sake of difficulty.

I really liiiiike...

I Wanna Be Like You (Sim Gretina Remix)
Mr. Blue Sky – Electric Light Orchestra
Star Sky – Two Steps From Hell (though you need extra mods to make this one worth playing and it's 99% a spectacle map).
Lost in the Rhythm – Jamie Berry ft. Octavia Rose

The dance tag in general has some really fun maps since they're designed for well... Making you dance a bit! I typically stick to lyrical songs and tend to avoid the Japanese stuff that floods the custom songs. Those tend to be difficult for the sake of flailing around like a dumbass.
