can anyone explain what im doing wrong? i followed the instructions but i still cant see it in my morphs.

i dropped them in VaM\Custom\Atom\Person\Morphs\female as instructed but still nothing. Is there something extra i need to do? (im quite new to vam)
you just need to press reload custom morphs, or restart vam. if it still doesnt show up then maybe the author accidentally disabled preload morphs, its in package manager thing in vam. but its highly unlikely thats the issue, disabling preload for a var that is specifically for sharing morphs is very dumb.

Is there any way to make the light follow the character? I've been trying to SubScene Lighting Rigs for a long time but I don't know if anyone has a video or a link to a tutorial or another way. Thank you.

its easy, just parent the subscene to Person's hip or abdomen. this is how i usually set it

can you show the steps with pictures, i did as shown but the light when i move the character still doesn't follow
is the light itself parented to subscene? also i said parented in previous message for subscene, its technically wrong, it should be "linked to person's abdomen" not parent. but wats shown in the pic is correct. anyway for the lights, you should "parent" them to subscene, no linking needed. after that link subscene to person as shown in the previous pic.
each light will look like this. "Point" is light. "Lighting" is subscene.

Hey guys! Could you give some guidance? I have three question that I cant figure out...

1. How could I create a start/stop action button in a scene for a dance/intercourse by a person/people? Maybe you have a link to a thread or video?
2. How do you make a person not spazz out while being penetrated by something larger than a small/average sized penis/item?
3. Lastly, is there a mod or function which deforms (squeezes) breasts around bikini? Not just lift/support them, but create this effect of strings sinking into it, you know?

Appreciate the help!

I recommend you to check the official documentation . There is also a section with video tutorials but i'm not sure how outdated they are.


1. How could I create a start/stop action button in a scene for a dance/intercourse by a person/people?
Appreciate the help!
Assuming the dance animation is using timeline, is called "Anim 1", and the timeline plugin is on the atom named 'Person':
Click on the +
1.jpg

You choose Triggers -> UIButton.
You check 'Select atom On Add'
You click on 'Add atom'
2.jpg

Now the new button is added and selected.
Click on 'Button Trigger' then 'Add Click Action'
3.jpg

This will add a new action in the list. Click on 'Settings'
4.jpg

Fill the window like this.
First you select the atom having the timeline plugin (in this case 'Person')
Then you select the thing you want to interact with on this atom. In this case, we choose the timeline plugin.
Then you select the thing you want to interact with on this timeline plugin. In this case, we want to play Anim 1.
Then you click on 'OK' to close everything and it should work.
5.jpg

You can do the same thing to stop an animation (choose 'Stop' or 'Stop and Reset' instead of 'Play').
I recommend you to explore and test things because you can interact with almost anything in a scene by doing things like this
You can add multiple actions on the same button if you want (just click 'Add Click Action' again)
Also you can give a label to the button by clicking on 'Button' on the left (under 'Button Trigger')

1. I just position my characters and save the poses, link those poses to a button or a buttonimage and then start/stop the action with bodylanguages thrusting or riding commands with an uibutton each for start/stop or you can just use a uitoggle button.
2. I always throw the explosionlimiter plugin on top of every atom in my scenes. I think this is in every stock vam installation within the plugins folder. Rarely, the exploding still happens
3. There are morphs for it but they are really unreliable if you are using soft body physics especially with naturalis.
I just disabled them on some looks that came with some sort of squeezing chest outfit morphs.

others have given really good answers for 1 and 2. for 3, morphs are the only way you achieve this. you have to find morphs that do this or make them your self (very ). once you find good ones, set it up using plugin, so it automatically enables morphs when you put on clothing.

I'm trying to remember the name of a particular author I liked, I think their name was a woman's name or something similar, they had a bunch of scenes with cowgirl action synced to music, one I particularly remember was "pogo stick", can anyone remember their name so I can look them up? Their free scenes were good

Woha, you guys really helped a lot! Appreciate it very much!
Thanks xvAresvx, moc587, Tomboy Enjoyer and AlternateDreams ! You guys rock! :)

P.S. Another small question that isnt pressing, but still would help if somebody advises on it.
I tried using VAMvarmanager and some other sorting app that was supposed to help me fix up my files - remove redundant ones, update old ones, etc...
But I guess i didnt manage to understand well how it works, did some stuff, and now its full of these folders called addonpacksswitch, VamVar backups and shortcut folders to the AddonPackages folder, that basically messed up the whole thing, and I cant seem to get rid of them or revert them back to normal. And i fear I will loose all my scenes and downloaded things, if I try to manually move things around and delete things.
Any advice on this dumb mess I created?

Have you tried var browser? I think I've mentioned it a couple times here before but I cannot recommend this enough.
Varbrowser moves outdated or invalid vars to another folder within your vam folder so you can check and delete or whatever IF you are clicking on the given options within the new overlay.
The installation is pretty simple and is given on the hub. You only have to rename your addonsfolder to allpackages and copy some files to your main vam directory if Iam not wrong.
The plugin manages the vars differently and installs only the stuff you need. You can wipe your new addonspackages every once in a while if things getting slow again but you are not loosing anything.
Best bet is to make a backup copy of your vam folder (Except the cache folder) to another drive to make sure if you mess up.
Its kinda crucial in my opinion. I dont wanna loose my work.
But you never know if something craps everything up and you have to start over from an older backup.
I will release a reworked lapdance scene pack if Iam not loosing my data :KEK:

Long story short, VAM does not run in "exclusive fullscreen" and so AFMF cannot hook into it.

I had to look into this because it worked for me with not much issue, but turns out I did a registry edit previously to supersede the windows setting "disable fullscreen optimizations", since Windows no longer respects that option with newer builds of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

You will need to do the registry edit (i wont link that) and either edit "VaM (Desktop Mode).bat" to add these flags, OR create a shortcut to "vam.exe", then go to the properties of the shortcut, click the "shortcut" tab and add those flags to the "target" textbox.
Then disable fullscreen optimizations in the properties then "compatibility" tab of the .exe if you edited the .bat or in the shortcut if you made on of those.

Hope that helps.

Code:
 -force-d3d11 -popupwindow -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1440 -screen-fullscreen 1 -window-mode exclusive

if i create a shortcut to "vam.exe",Do I still need to edit the registry?
