Alright, looking for some recommendations:

Out of the automatic behavior plugins that do things like gaze management, breathing, responses and expressions, which one is the best? I just tried out Body Language and it seems pretty cool but I would love to check out others.

How about automated "animations"? Is it still generally best to use something like auto thruster or clockwise silver thruster and divining rod?

My favorite looks are petite 18+ looks, and I tend to like things that are a little stylized. Some of my favorite creators are VariousScientists, Geoxslayer, LucyV3d and VRDollz. Anyone have any recommendations for other creators to check out? I would kill for some of DumbKoala's models that he uses but I imagine he's never shared them.

I use Alive v34 + Emotion (latest version) + Body Language.
You can also use body language for thrusts and such.

So you use all three of them together, huh? I did notice that the female character will automatically thrust when being penetrated while using Body Language, I tried to look for how I could control the behavior but it wasn't immediately apparent which part of the plugin that control was under.

Yes.
I tweaked all 3 of them quite a bit. Expressions may overlap and will look weird if you use them together with stock settings. Set the joy scale to 0 in BL, and use morph and auto movement from emotion. You can use the gaze from BL's "pose me" plugin or the one from emotion. Don't use both.
Alive also has the best auto reactions. She looks sad or mad for a second when you slap her for example.
I could do a tutorial (Its really not much to set up) and or post a video how it will look.
Body language has auto thrust on all possibilities enabled from stock. You can load BL, set everything up you need like disabling all thrusts and x-ray for example and save it as a preset so you can slap it on other scenes.
X-Ray doesn't work in VR so its a skip for me.
You can just position your persons and enable thrust with a simple UI button.

Alright, thanks a lot for the tips, I'm going to give this a shot.

Body language is probably the best overall.

But I also like to use multiple plugins (Life + Vammoan + Glance + ClockwiseSilver.ExpressionToolPlus...). This gives me much more control. Most appearances will look awful if the expression morphs are set too high.

I attached my PluginPreset. See if it works (put in ...VAM\Custom\Atom\Person\Plugins). You will need to download all the plugins, of course.

For looks, see if you like Callimohu. Also check picovam (you can get the morphs from the characters and apply them at 0.1~0.3 strenght to another one to make them look more japanese and younger). The skins also look pretty good, not sure.

Please, if someone would take their time and just explain to me: I download VAM from here? And use key I guess from frontpage? Now, say I wanna download/play some scene from some creater. Do I just download that package, plug n play? Or do I have to spend time in tweaking and installing plugins etc.

I kinda just wanna see how it looks in VR, dont wanna spend hours to get 1 scene running buggy and unoptimized :D

Download VAM from here or from official sources, use the codes from here, find a free VAR from the hub or paid VARs from here using the search function (if you just want to see how it looks real quick, choose one or two, don't go crazy downloading stuff at first) and put VARs in your addon packages folder. Then go into VAM, open the package manager from the toolbar, click scan hub for missing dependencies, and download all. The scene should now work with no problems.

Unfortunately, VAM is really anything but plug and play and it can take a lot of tweaking, but it shouldn't take too long to get one or two scenes working just so you can check them out real fast.

Hello everyone, I have a little issue...

My instance is plenty with thousands of assets, morphs, looks, etc., all of them being used in a of mine where I been playing all this time. Lately, while using VR headset with SteamVR (not optional), the game crashes unexpectedly. The heavier the scene, the higher possibilities of crash. A week ago I installed more add-ons and the game don't want to load a simple scene without closing itself. I tried opening and editing with the VR headset aside and then wake up them for playing. That simple trick actually let me play the game in VR today. But my conclusion is: I can't pass though loadscreens while rendering 3 monitors when before wasn't a problem, is there any solution to this critical performance drop?

Have you tried to remove some of your AddonPackages to see if the problem is still happening?
The laptop you linked has 8GB of ram which is not enough for VAM, so if you didn't add more ram that could explain your problem.
In my case VAM crash from time to time due to memory leaks but it takes hours (with 32GB ram).
Another possibility is that you added a .var file which is conflicting with the other addons. In this case, the solution is the same, you should remove the addons you added recently to check if it fix your problem.

Hello :)
Could be a my wrong feeling but lately, when i'm in vr, seems that i can't go close to a girl face with my head;
seems that i can go near, but not against like before, and say it keeps 10cm distance and all is moving ahead keeping the same distances.
Most probably i mixed up some switches but... any idea?o_O
There are still things that i can not understand, like why game buttons in some scenes work only with hand set as hidden...

thanks

I linked a range of laptops, sorry, mine has 16GB of RAM and GPU RTX3060. The crash often happens while or after a modification (loading screens). I'm thinking about remove folders of addons, but idk if is wise in my case: My presets are made from multiple of them... But I want to remark the loading screens, why there?

Is there a wayClothing ReWrapper I can convert CUAs to clothing?
Yes but the process is a bit involved. First use something like uTinyRipper to extract the mesh from assetbundle, then load it in unity and export it as obj or fbx. Idk if unity has a builtin option to do that, i know there are third party tools available like FBX exporter, idk you have to look into it yourself but i know its definitely doable.

Anyways when you get hold of the mesh, import it into Daz and do the regular clothing creation process. Save as>scene subset etc. import into Vam with Clothing creator. Now you sort of have CUA as a clothing but it'll look janky. Vam will try to wrap it on the body like a regular clothing, and most solids objects will look fucked up. You have two options now and .

Clothing rewrapper will rewrap the clothing to vertices of your choosing. This makes it so the morphs that can affect the clothing are the ones that also affect the vertices you chose before (does that make sense?). So if you chose like one or two vertices, there wont be morphs fucking up the mesh, and will fix the above issue. This one is more complicated than static clothing but cloth physics will only work with this method.

If you dont need cloth physics use Static Clothing. It will turn the entire clothing into solid object which you can parent to a bone. Also you can adjust its position, rotation etc. This is the best option if the object is something like a hat or glasses (something solid that doesnt need physics). if you enable physics old clothing will come back.

Both these options need you to setup .
