You could try The Forest on peaceful mode. I didn't really bother with the story and just walked around setting up camp and doing survival things. The only thing that will attack you in that mode are the alligators. It also has VR.

Green Hell also has a lot of customization options. You can turn off various enemies by category if you find them too annoying. You can still do story mode with the easier settings. (The original anyway, not sure about the SOA part that they're adding.) But it does have problems making some people motion sick.

I also like Escape the Pacific, but it is still very early access, so you might not like it. It's more like hanging out in a tropical paradise, sailing to different islands, and building bases while having decent survival metrics to keep an eye on. More of a vacation than a challenge, but still needing to watch nutrient ratios, temperature, and secure fresh water.
