Hi guys! Sorry if what I'm about to ask is stupid (it probably is)

1. Is this playable without VR?
2. Is this a game or a software or both?
3. Are there any sex scenes?

1. Yes, both desktop and VR mode are available.
2. It is a software platform. You can load existing scenes and assets, or make your own. Some scenes are on rails, some have interaction.
3. Yes. Plenty.

I'm just curious if other's have wondered what the heck is going on in KyraLux head who apparently is the only F95 uploader anymore. Since they have almost been on this site for almost a year, let's revel in how the good ol' days of F95 content sharing with the deep dive megathread. There was so much new warez, grabbing whats new. And we had 2 bi-yearly .torrent distro packs combining all the booty that can still be plundered to this day!

Now, I'm trying to figure out why people upload new releases and threads filled with +1 bump spam that apparently people do want, flag those threads so the uploaders like Kenji used to place them up on the thumbnail gallery. Pretty easy to see what was new and grab the arca releases too. Was going pretty well.

So back to KyraLux. What is this this silly crusade of Collections. That doesn't work. 1flicher, pixeldrain, etc mirrors quickly gets outdated. That was apparent when someone tried to Collection up multi-host C&G. Doesn't work. Torrent Packs DO work. The whole point in https://f95zone.to/sam/latest_alpha/#/cat=assets/page=1/prefixes=35/ being set up in the first place was multi hosting individual releases where people could conviently search by Creator and the files would still be living months later ! What are they doing. They are wasting their time ignoring the purpose of that area. Torrent packs served that purpose extremely well and would be better use continuing collections there.

If all we have is a single uploader, they are going out of their way to blatently ignore flagged treads to get files distro'd in proper channels.... Because we all no... No-No-No-... No requests here. They won't re-release shared fulfillments becaue it will mess up the thumbnail theme they just want to put their own silly model modeling stuff. It's like ffs. This is that dude all over again, Krosos, who used to spam full page screenshots of his dolls wearing cowboy hats and glasses thinking everyone else wants to see that.

Since this is ontopic, I dont even see these patreon scammers being requested to have a "Premier Collection feat. KyraLux<3<3<3" in the first place. Come to think of it the bulk of users are asian anyway remember when we used to have all those asian models constantly uploaded there and chinese usernames +1 everywhere. Nobody wants to see KyraLux's dolls or Krosos. Where's the warez. They probably busy working on Crazy3dModeler Premier Gallery to get any of this new stuff processed.
You could just volunteer to become an Uploader yourself you know...

In case this is helpful for anyone that uses VAM's Cache. I run a script over my Cache\Textures folder to remove identical files and replace them with symlinks to one source file. Since VAM treats the same texture from different .vars separately, this helps cut down a ton of space from creators that repackage the same texture over and over.

Thanks for sharing your code!

I've checked it, and it looks good and seem to work. Reduced my cache size from like 75 GB to 73 GB -- so for me not really worth it. Others might have different results, I think it mainly depends on how cluttered and messed up your overall installation is... :p

I'd also like to suggest a change: exclude *.vamcachemeta files. While many of them are technically duplicates, nobody "saves space" when replacing lots of 80-90 bytes files with symlinks. Focus on the real data, which are *.vamcache files itself.

Again: great approach, thanks for sharing.

Nice suggestion! 100% agree on the meta files being sorta pointless, something for a v2.

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.


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.


by pose preset tab do you mean this?

I still can't find those poses, where are they supposed to be?

I don't want to be a staff uploader. What does that have to do with the people signed up for the position ignoring the point of them signing up in the first place.

Equally smarky response would be... Well if you all the +1 spammers in the threads.. they could just pay . pay.. paypig into patreon.. No.. That was a redicilous and unthoughtful response on your part.
Then we all get the Uploaders we deserve... ;)

Dude, don't drag me into your personal rage against uploaders -- I have not commented on this (you're still on my ignore list, so I didn't even read your comment in the first place), so why even go after me now?

Please feel free to block me if you don't like my comments. And please feel free to apply as an uploader yourself (as mixmox82 suggested) if you're unsatisfied with the type of uploads. Or just talk to KyraLux directly instead of going on a public rampage. You can change how things work! But posting in this thread about "Uh, I don't like how things are getting uploaded recently, everything used to be better" doesn't change anything.

Btw: There's absolutely no need to download everything VaM-related that's being posted! It's a habit (or should I say an addiction?) of some people to "get it all". That's just effing stupid. And finally: most "collections" I've just checked do have a working torrent link, so you can still hand-pick what you want to download and what not. You don't have to download the 5 GB "full Vambo collection" just to get a single look. So I'm not sure what you're actually ranting about... (and I don't care tbh).

is there a way to buy an official version of the game without using patreon?
don't think so plus besides, the game in of itself is technically free if i'm not mistaken since you can download the updater itself i think from the patreon without needing to pay for anything, it's just content access that is primarily locked behind patreon. which can be pretty easily accessed via Kemono. But then again at the same time you don't really need to have the key to use the hub ingame, since the hub can be accessed outside of the game, and the content gotten that way quite easily if you know where to put files and whatnot.
And also to be fair I wouldn't quite call this program a game necessarily exactly, more of it's kinda a piece of sexual animation creation software that also can be used to create characters as you see fit. though there are a few scenes that have sortof somewhat game~ish type elements in them such as the hucow demo that has been released lately for example.
