Without any more details, it'll be almost impossible to help you. What version of VaM are you using? What scene are you trying to load? Have you tried to reset all settings to "Default" before trying? Have you tried using a "clean" VaM setup with just the scene you want to load and see if it works?
I thought I had said, but I'll be more specific on the version, Im using the latest version 1.22.0.3.

Appears to be any scene, except the default.

I've used the patch.exe to verify the Core Integrity, Sync / Repair Core so far, but that hasnt helped. I'll see if the Repair All does anything.

Why do you want to unpack anything from within the package manager in the first place? You should definitely not do that, as it's not necessary at all and will make your VaM installation unmanageable.
Hmm, news to me, didnt know there was another way. So how do you personally installed downloaded scenes (from this forum)? Ive always extracted the RAR's, revealing the .var files then placed those in the AddonPackages, which then make them viewable in the package manager to select and unpack.

Let us all know if you can of the way you do it, as im doing it clearly wrong but never seen any other docs to explain the ideal way.

Cheers for your time.

Strange and Odd, but seems to be ok now. Im able to run scenes... maybe a glitch, but it wouldnt run yesterday or this morning, but have quit several times and seems to be ok now.

Let me know about the unpack process, if you have time, but this is the way ive always done it and its been fine. I dont use too many packages, so its never become a real problem.

If you download scenes etc. as *.RAR or *.ZIP archives, you just need to extract them (which should reveal one or more *.VAR files), which you then put into the AddonPackages subfolder of VaM -- done. As soon as you put a *.VAR file into the AddonPackages directory (or any subfolder of that directory), they're available in VaM.

Again, there's absolutely no need to then open VaM, go into the Package Manager, select the package and extract them again. That's why the package format was introduced. To keep it simple.

Interesting.

The scenes (certainly those that I have seen, downloaded, extracted, copied the var's into the AddonPackages folder) didnt used to show up in the Scene Selection screen unless they are unpacked for me, via the package manager. I am certain this is the case, but I'll re-check of course.

OR maybe this is how it used to be a few years back and the updates have changed it... could be wrong, but pretty sure thats what I recall reading about it back in 2020 or sometime before... Thanks

Cheers for your help, at least I now know.
Whats the key? Also does the key work for newer versions of the game? And is this a virus?
1, The key(s) are listed in the OP if you care to read it.
2, Yes. These work for latest versions.
3, Is "what" a virus? If you are referring to VAM, then no, assuming you obtained it from a reliable source.

Hi Guys.. need some quick help!

Recently every time I open a Cuddlemocap scene and hit play the male explodes to a different position. The scenes used to work perfectly and I've reset all user settings.

Any idea what could cause this?

Broski this is not a support group for your questions.
Dude, chill out, my comment was not an order or a demand, it was just an expression of frustration for not being able to find the place where I should look. I apologize for not expressing myself properly and causing this misunderstanding.

If you want to learn about the systems you download read the instructions before you download.
Maybe it's because English is not my mother tongue, but I couldn't find a way to activate the mod when I read the instructions, I wouldn't be asking if I understood it. I have already installed several mods, read their instructions and they all work, I have a particular problem with this one.

the mod you are looking for is in the pose preset tab. Look for a file in there by appetitevisual (the creator of the mod) and then just load the mod.
by pose preset tab do you mean this?

So like. right now I got a rx 580. if I install the newest drivers cant play VAM.. with 2 years old ones runs well. I was thinking that maybe someone here got a newer amd card and runs VAM with the newest drivers, and those doesent give them problems.
I'm running 23.9.1 on a 6700XT using Virtual Desktop with no problems

Hi guys, I am a 3D artist and have been using VaM for, entertainment.

But yeah I got it here and, also clothing and stuff.

Is it hypocritical of me for me to now try to make money by making my own clothes?, I think I might start a Patreon for early access and then post them for free after some time.

Also, Do I need to buy the creator version for me to start, like, Is it embedded on the clothing?, I have only seen the author name when doing it.

I DO plan and give back by supporting creators and Meshed VR, but yeah, I need to make money to give back in the first place :3.

I don't have insights into whether or not it's lucrative to create clothes for VaM and make them available via Patreon only, but I do remember some creators had (have?) quite a few supporters -- so yeah, you might be able to make a few extra bucks with it. Is it worth the effort though? I again have no clue on how talented you are, and how easy it is for you to create stuff for VaM, so if it only takes a few hours to create something amazing, it might pay of for you.

And about your last statement, whether or not you'll need the Creator version of VaM or not and "I need to make money to give back in the first place": I highly recommend becoming a member of the Creator tier first before publishing anything anywhere, otherwise you might get into trouble. It's never a good idea to publish your own work with the intend to make money with it by using pirated software. You have to invest something to earn something, not the other way around. And the Creator tier is only like 8-10 bucks a month. If you can't afford that, maybe try to have 2-3 "coffee to go" less per month. ;-)

since there are so few artists making cloths, I believe that this is not very lucrative.

I want to know how you are going to create clothes for VaM? Will it just be porting things over from DAZ? Or do you have experience creating clothes yourself using programs like Marvelous Designer?

You can just move the VaM folder to any drive you want, you don't need to do anything special.

My guess would be: your C drive is a SSD/NVMe drive (fast/very fast), and your F drive is a regular HDD (slow), and if you say "external", hopefully you don't mean it's connected via USB or a network share from another system or NAS, which might make it even slower. So: on your fast C drive VaM starts normal, on your "external" HDD drive it just takes ages and you just assumed it's not loading at all.

because you mentioned about the drive. I wonder if it's because I downloaded 300GB of unfinished assets and I put them in the AddonPackages folder on drive f. when I separated the main game folder from the unfinished download, finally, I can play the game on drive f. Thanks for the advice.
