With clothe items like this leash, how do you control it in desktop mode? I know that you can kind of control the leash with VR, but I have no idea how to do it in desktop
Edit: I found out. With the clothes grab sphere.

Is there some kind of trick to reduce RAM usage in VAM? It's taking 7GB without any scene on the background and 27-32GB on basically every scene I load... I already turned off caching and checked both RAM optimizations to unload unused assets.
It's annoying since it causes micro stuttering every 3 seconds due the RAM being fully occupied all the time.

ihave 24gb ddr4 3200mhz ram.. this vam eat all 97% .. sometime i load 5people it crash . eroor "to many hips" i plan to update 32gb or 64gb ram 3200mhz ddr4 letter.

We know that VaM isn't very optimized when it comes to dealing with memory, but those numbers seems to be high. So I've just tested this:

• a freshly downloaded VaM uses 3 GB memory after starting it, 6.3 GB memory after loading the default scene
• my "normal" VaM installation (with roughly ~100 gig in ~2,000 *.VAR files installed) uses 5.5 GB after starting it, and 9.3 GB after loading the default scene
• loading a "heavy-ish scene" (like Virtual Sweetheart ReLoaded) takes a couple of minutes, and VaM uses 24.2 GB after loading it; even after loading in all the different clothing options included in the scene, VaM uses less than 27 GB of memory
• loading other scenes I have installed VaM usually ends up using like 15-25 GB memory on my end, depending on how many characters and textures are there to load for that scene
• even after switching between multiple (~15-20) scenes, VaM never uses more than 25-28 GB of memory on my end, it uses like 20-22 GB most of the time

Turning off the VaM caching shouldn't help with any memory problems, it just makes the performance of VaM worse in general, as VaM has to re-scan like every installed *.VAR file for its content instead of using its cached data AFAIK. And those RAM optimization options to unload unused assets can help a bit, but knowing that VaM has issues unloading scenes in general, I would advice closing down VaM completely and restarting it before loading a more complex scene anyways. Btw, the testing above was done with the default settings (caching turned on, and only the "optimize memory usage on scene load" being active as well).

I have 32gb - better update to 64gb right away.

I moved a bunch of old "*.var"s to another folder, it helped much with this "too many heap sections" error

yeah i think it good deal 64gb.

I moved a bunch of old "*.var"s to another folder, it helped much with this "too many heap sections" error

yeah i have almost 2tb var. thas make loading for firstime launch about 10-15minute. second launch decress 5-10minute.

Sheez! I bet you use less than 10% on a somehow regular basis, so why keep hoarding all the other unnecessary stuff? And 10-15 minutes starting time...?! Like what the actual fudge? It takes about 60 seconds to start VaM in Desktop mode and load the default scene on my end -- with a 4-5 year old rig!

Spoiler alert: those 64gb memory will not help you with that...

yeah looks like i will put old var or deleted permanently. on fresh vam it just take a view minute bout 10-30second for startup. but until i put all my 1.5tb var+++ it mess my loading . i will keep upgdrade my ram to higher . for another program and games too. hiks

Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation and testing. I guess there is no use other than upgrading the RAM to 64GB to prevent the stuttering issues. Or maybe delete old vars but then again I would be scared to ruin dependencies of other scenes...kinda an odd spot rn.

Or perhaps a var manager...

Can anyone PLEASE HELP? How can I switch characters in sex scenes? All character asset files I download show up only in the scenes section and not in the looks category, it's very frustrating.

No, it's not frustrating -- it's just how it works or how the creator decided to share their look. It has been explained multiple times how to replace characters in scenes using look or appearance presets. Here or here for example.

Really appreciate the fast reply & the useful links. Was frustrated because i could not find the correct instructions.

several sources i've seen/read talking about how to save/load looks/appearances (including, but not limited to, that Virtual Sweetheart Reloaded scene's look change helper) mentioned using the "appearance preset" menu instead of "control & physics" for looks. what's the difference between the two?

i also checked out of curiosity how many look presets i have in my slightly bloated VAM instance, and it's just 5. quite small compared to the amount of appearance presets, which i have hundreds of (most of them being like half of barcoder's collection but still).

Just 2-3 post below the first link I sent you you'll find this. It contains a link to a table where you can see the different values which are being saved using either a "Look" or "Appearance" preset -- I think it really comes down to a personal preference, as I don't have any issue with using both of them. But then again, when you want to exchange characters in scenes which have a lot of plugins (like timeframe animations, playing audio and such) there might be a difference, but I'm not 100% sure.


Until now I've used "Look" presets, and by using a template to create screenshots for each look, this worked pretty well:


But since I've started using JayJayWon's BrowserAssist (which is absolutely fabulous I must say), and it only has a "Preset Appearance" but nothing similar for Looks, I want to switch to appearance presets -- I just hadn't have time yet to re-save all the looks as appearance, so it currently only shows those that came with the *.VAR files I've installed:


Well, hopefully I get some time soon to re-organize my look/appearances...

Quick question. How can I stop a cumming animation? In the scene the male cums near the beginning and just keeps shooting the whole scene lol

 

[theMickey_]

How can I stop a cumming animation?

Depends on the scene. Some have "buttons" to control (like start/stop/change) animations, some just haven't. There's no general answer to that. If you can point out the scene, I might have a look into it and might come up with a better answer.

 

[JenjenXX]

The scene is xinxiu.Scenario_1.1

There are no buttons. Just a start button. There some music and dance and bj then cum and for the rest of the scene for another 5 mins hes still cumming

 

[theMickey_]

The scene is xinxiu.Scenario_1.1

I've just downloaded and tested it -- and you're right. I also have looked into it, and found out...

• the "cumming" seems to be triggered by "Anim 99" and should only last for 2 seconds
• but somehow it's not stopping after 2 seconds

I'm not very familiar with editing timeframe animations, so I couldn't figure out how to change those triggers.

But here's a simple way to "fix" this:

• add a "Triggers" --> "UIButton"
• select the UIButton, and open its options
• in "Button" just enter some text like "Stop cumming"
• in "Button Triggers", click "Add Click Action" and enter the following:
  
  
  
  This will disable the "CustomeUnityAsset" (which is the cum)

With this button, you can just disable the cum at any time you want.

Optionally you can add a second button whith pretty much the same settings except you'll have to check the little checkbox at the very bottom in the above screenshot to enable the CUA again -- so you can then fully control when the male character should cum and/or stop it.



Save it as a copy of that scene, enjoy!
