I kept hearing this is THE Vr adult app
Yes, it is. Unfortunately, there are no VR games even remotely close to it at the moment.

The animations dont seem to have sounds if you try and load them in (and poses are just that...poses) (and the dances seem to use a youtube video that if you dont hit play on the dancer just dances to silence.
Yes, animations are just animations. As with 3D softwares, you need to synchronize an audio track with an existing animation.
But you don't need to do all that. If you're just starting out, it's better to test other people's content first, rather than trying to create your own without understanding how it works.

I managed to get vamx to work and thats cool for changing apearences but has a limited number of animations (and the most annoying habbit of constantly telling me to insert my password, it was funny tbh) It has AI but you cant hook it to a local LLM, it has text to speach but you cant hook it to a local instance of Alltalk.
I don't know what Vamx is like these days, but unless it's greatly improved, it's best not to use it. It's limited and will be more confusing than anything else.

I manged to get the wafiu sex simulator motions to work (mmd2timelines plugin, add the player part of that to the scene plugins and then use the custom ui). However most of the dance moves were so violent the dancer threw her clothes off and looked like her breasts had been replaced with poorly filled water ballons(that seemed to be the case ALOT) also it would not work with VAMX so there was no way to change the character (that i could see....again thats one that might be on me, I am assuming you are meant to be able to change the character)
Boobs physics can easily be controlled from the 'F Breasts Physics' tab. I recommend that you only change the sliders:
- Mass
- Spring
- Eventually, 'In/out Spring' and 'Up/Down Angle Target' if necessary
Then you can save your character (in 'Appearance Presets') if you want to keep the changes, or even save a 'boobs preset' (in 'F Breast Presets') for reuse on another character.
There are also plugins like 'Titty Magic' which may give good results too.

If you placed the girls in a pose they would not react to your presence in anyway, nor could you interact with them etc.
That's right. If you put a character in a scene, it's just a mannequin, a doll. You have to add behaviors to it if you want it to react (what happens if I touch the character there? How do I want her to react? What if she's not in the mood? etc.).

Why is this so popular?

Xsexstory (very old) had the girls interactable and you could even interact with the clothing... granted there wasnt any real customisation and it wasnt originally designed for VR.

Waifu sex simulator was easier for choosing animations (and they had sound) though I vastly prefer the look of the girl in Vam, I also realise thats abandonware now.

villian simuator had good interaction with the girls.... but very very limited range of what you could do, good customisation though.
You have to understand that VAM is popular because it has a LOT of content made by the community, and it also lets you do anything and everything
You can even make a game if you want.
The thing is, by default, nothing is activated. You have to search the menus, add plugins or even develop to get anything done.
That's why, once again, I'd advise you to start by looking at ready-made scenes.
Even if you use VAM every day, it'll take you months to watch the scenes/characters that already exist.
I've posted links with a bunch of content here: https://f95zone.to/threads/virt-a-mate-v1-22-0-3-meshed-vr.6881/post-14317077
If you really want to create content yourself, unfortunately I don't have a tutorial for you, as the one I followed to get started is now obsolete. This one seems to cover the basics well enough, but I just looked at a few parts:

I dont want to offend people, I know this is popular, I am sure I am missing something (its the least intuitive app I have ever run) but how do you interact with the choaracter? How do you cahnge the character if vamx cant be used? is there a better way to use mmd files than mmd2timeline (one that doesnt have them violently thowing off thier clothes when dancing and avoids the half filled water ballon breast issue)? why is this so popular?
No offense taken.
It's a much more complex game/software than the others, so it's not for everyone.
The interface is very bad, as you said, it's complicated when you're a beginner.
The problem is also that VAM has so many features that I imagine it's a real headache for the developer to present them simply to the user. It's not like it's just another simulator where you have to choose your character, your animation and a little bit of customization and poof, that's it.
Here you can customize everything.

As for the rest, I'll leave you to find out how. I'll just explain how to swap your character because I think that's what you'll be using most of the time. I don't have my VR headset on right now (it's too hot...) so I might be explaining some things badly.
If there's a character you like in a scene, and you want to save it so you can use it again in another scene :
- Display the interface (U on keyboard but I don't know what's your shortcut on VR) and make sure you're in Edit mode.
11.png

- Click anywhere on the character. The interface window will update.
- At the top left of the window, click on "Select Root".
You should have a menu that looks like this. From here, you can change a lot of things on the character.

- Click on 'Appearance Presets'
- In 'Preset Name', choose a name for the character and click on 'Create New Preset'.
- VAM asks you to take a screenshot of this character (this is just to make it easier to find later.)
Voila, your character's appearance is saved.

Now you can load another scene, select the character you want to replace in the scene with your character and do the same thing again, up to the 'Appearance Presets' menu.
This time, don't enter a preset name, just click on 'Select existing' in the top left-hand corner, and you'll see a list of existing presets, including the one you've just created. Choose it and your character will be loaded instead of the other one.

Hi guys, is VAM a buy once or a subscription type?
It's basically a "buy once" thing -- as soon as you subscribe to Patreon, you'll get a key, which you can keep using even you cancel your subscription right afterwards.

...i play with my 3050 and that's always lag when i play some animations
Depending on how "heavy" a scene and/or animation is, that's to expected, no matter your hardware. Yes, VaM will run better the better hardware (as in GPU, CPU and RAM) you have, but VaM itself has its constraints. There are some plugins though which will improve VaM's performance ( for example), and there are also some "tricks" (settings) which you can use to play scenes/animation more fluidly.

I am genuinly confused.
I highly recommend to not use vamX, especially to any new VaM users as yourself. The biggest mistake new VaM users make all the time is to download VaM and 100+ GB of assets in one go without knowing how to operate VaM at all. And vamX isn't helping at all.

I'd suggest the following to new VaM users: start slow. Download VaM, and start working with it and the scenes/looks/plugins it comes with. Learn how to use the (not so intuitive) UI, as it has a steep learning curve I might say. Once you're feeling comfortable using VaM by itself, go to the Hub and download a single scene/look that appeals to you -- and start playing around with that scene/look. This will make sure you learn how to work with dependencies, how to organize your *.var files, exchange looks in scenes, and how to add/remove/edit plugins. Watch some tutorials on more complicated stuff on YT, there're a lot of good in-depth tutorials out there. From that point on you can try to expand: download more looks and scenes, start creating your own stuff, and always keep your *.var files organized (as in "delete stuff you tested but didn't like and therefore don't want to keep"). And soon you will realize, you won't need vamX at all...

I used to play with a Ryzen 1600 and an RX570 with acceptable performance (in some scenes) after tweaking with Givemefps plugin. But I dont think you can go any lower than that.

Today I use a 6700XT to play in VR, it's good, but overkill for flatscreen. I upgraded CPU to Ryzen 5600 aswell, which I think would be the sweet spot for flatscreen and VR.

Realistically The minimum would be 16gb ram , 4gb graphics card and a quad core cpu
this would allow 2 to 3 character atoms without to much drop in FPS.
a PC with 32gb ram , 8gb graphics card and 6 to 8 core cpu will be better.

Many things can cause lagging or drop in FPS.

Main culprits are, having more lights , lots of 8k textures , more than 3 character atoms , Physics like hair ,clothing, body etc
and Assets like environments that use a lot of vertices, can be big deal breaker on the PC

all depends on your scene, the more you add the more the pc has to handle.

Cap your framerate to 60 or whatever you feel confident with.
Don't use soft body physics and set the physics update rate to 2.
Add naturalis to the female atom for some immersion with low to no impact.
Reduce max pixel lights to 2 or disable all light sources and only use one single center light from the "focus on me" session plugin. Disabling all ligths can be done within focus on me with one click.
This alone will boost your fps significantly. You can also set the hair quality by each peace to fast, this reduces the shadows within hair layers and may look bad with more lights turned on but also gives quite a fps boost.
When it still hitches, your cpu could be the problem.
Make sure to use the CPU fix from the .
If you are playing in VR there is also a FSR mod for vam which gives a sharper image than before but on a lower resolution.
The 3050 is equal to my 1070 I've previously used in VR and it was alright.
I got 40-50fps with rare lags (no heavy 3+ person scenes) which is totally fine.

Does anyone have a quick tutorial on how i can make a tattoo in this game?
many ways to do it. export the g2 model (click on person > control & phy 1 > export obj...), the obj files will be in root. open it up in substance painter or any tool that allow you to paint on 3d model. make tattoo, then export it so that background is transparent. import it as decal in vam.
1723231351087.png
if you dont want to paint on a 3d model, just find a skin to use as reference from vamhub, then use photoshop. same as before, export with transparent background. , this might come in handy if you have tons of tatoos and want to stack them. but it wont allow you to export final image which is stupid.

I had over 2000 scenes show up using BrowserAssist, but not sure it does VaM any favors having this many assets at once.

Anyone know how to disable 1800 scenes limit to see all scenes?
First of all: if you have 1,800+ scenes, you should probably rethink what you're doing. :p

Second: I'm pretty sure this limit you're talking about is "per page" -- if I set it to something low (like 36) on my end, VaM is displaying 36 scenes "per page" and I can use the arrows next to it to switch between pages (to display scenes 37-72, 73-108 and so on).

I don't think there's an actual hard limit on how many scene you can have.

I just noticed that as soon as it got over 1800+, the scenes at the very bottom are no longer displayed when I scroll down. If I delete new scenes, I start to see the old scenes. but I already have 300 new scenes over the 1800 limit. It's already 2100 and new scenes i need
