Can I unpack the Looks .vars and create 2 different packs, one for all the looks and one for all the textures?

You can unpack and repack all the var you've got. Just don't share them please. Also I highly recommend to not do that at all, because it will counterfeit your dependencies. Once you've deleted the original *.var file because you've previously unpacked/repacked it, and another scene/look has this *.var as a dependency, VaM will re-download the original *.var file (if it's on the HUB) and you'll end up with multiple versions of the same stuff.

Interesting. But I just want to do this to Dnaddr's looks. They are not on the hub. Altoghether they are 3GB...

To unpack and repack these, can I just manipulate them as normal folder or I'm going to need a special tool?

*.var files are just ZIP archives, and you can use whatever tool to handle those. Again, I highly advise to not do this, but it's up to you. :-D

Thanks again for helping me out! VAM can be the best sex sim out there, but it can also be the worst software if you can't customize it properly, and it's very hard to understand everything

Whatever you do, don't stop trying. I started learning how to use this 'game' a year ago when I got a VR headset and slowly could learn everything I wanted and make cool scenes for personal enjoyment, I never went back to playing other porn games or movies, vam is gamechanger for sure, totally underrated and probably it's because of the step learning curve.

Completely agree.
VAM is like Blender with a scaling learning curve, and I think that's the main reason it's so underrated.:cry:

Anyone have tips on audio triggering with Timeline? I'm having problems to make a AudioSource play a slap sfx consistently. It doesn't play it randomly, even though Timeline is triggering it perfectly every single time.
Same happens if I use any collision trigger.

Is the sfx too short? Too quiet? Is there a better plugin/atom than the crappy AudioSource that appears to rely on sample loudness to play it?

edit: I added a Audio trigger line in Timeline, it seems it does not like triggering short audio samples in other atoms. Switched to a normal Trigger line, seems to be working now.

Hello, I'm new in this Virt-A-Mate thing, and I found all of this so difficult for newcomers it's insane. Does anybody knows if there's some kind of all in one thing I can download somewhere ?

I searched for content here and there, there's no installation instructions, no way to know what I need, so many mods, so many dependencies, I'm so lost. I think I need models and scenes, but none of those two are called so in the threads I found

I found this all in one "paywall content" but all links are dead and the thread is now closed for whatever reason, I guess they wanted to make it more clear for people but for me it's the exact opposit. If a kind soul can share me some help, I would be so grateful

What's useful is to learn the folder's structure; What goes where, saves, assets, textures, morphs, vars, unity assets etc. For everything else including conversions from daz or within there is youtube.

The issue isn't the GPU; Vam uses four CPU cores, no more, for hairs cloth and body physics.

I hope this improves, cant get a quick nut if the damn thing takes too long to load

They released some Alpha footage a couple weeks ago I think, where they showed almost instant scene and looks loading, and the best part it's all multithreaded. No game freeze up when loading new stuff into the scene.

Loading times are bad indeed, don't even know why the caching option exists, makes almost no difference since the engine struggles to do anything most of the time. There's a huge bottleneck in data read and write somewhere.

There's also a slight memory leak over time. Usually sessions hover around 8 to 10 gb of RAM use (OS resources included since swap and paging files seems to be used even if you have absurd amounts of free RAM), but after an hour or so, a gb starts to be added for no reason at all (no additional atoms or anything new added to the scene, etc...).

I blame Unity not the devs. KSP for example, which is another game heavy on physics and parts quantity, runs like shit too because of Unity's inherent bad resource management and use on any PC. Also suffers a lot from the same issues VAM has, like collision detection and efficient physics calculations.

Is the sound you need very specific?

If you need general sex sounds,
You must be registered to see the links
is great: Aside from the obvious moaning and orgasm sounds, there's also pelvic slap sounds, vagina squishes, blowjob sounds etc. Manual and automatic triggers. It's really a versatile and easy to setup plugin, everything can be triggered in Timeline.

You must be registered to see the links
also might help you. Haven't tried out that one yet tho.

Now each time the girls mouth is triggered by sometihng .. like eating a chocolate bar.. it'll trigger audiomate's .WAV you selected

I've skipped a lot of small details. Hopefully this overview can get you started. You'll need to really dig into the plugin to figure out how to use it properly. It won't take long, but you need to press all the buttons to see what they can do for you.

hope this was clear

Thanks for the reccomendation. Funny thing, I already have it downloaded, remember using it somewhere but then going back to Timeline+AudioSource combo, dunno why. Gonna try it out again anyway.

Also, I edited my post, problem was: I used a Audio trigger track in Timeline instead of a normal Trigger track. But why it doesn't work with the Audio track triggering? No idea at all...

Nice, gonna check them out, thanks.
The sample isn't specific, was just trying anything I could find fast.

I'm sure it can't hurt, but I solved many performance issues just by adding 16GB of RAM, (I had 16GB now I have 32GB), so the solution you are looking for might be less expensive than a 4090 card... Be sure to have the game installed on an M2 SSD and optimize from there.
