How do I change the scene that loads when VAM starts?
 
Solution
Virt-A-Mate looks for specific files in this order:
1) VAMroot/Saves/scene/default.json
2) VAMroot/Saves/scene/MeshedVR/default.json
3) VAM loads an empty scene if it finds neither of them.

The default.json in /scene/ might not be present on a fresh install but can be created by the user.
You can simply save your scene over the default.json. Maybe make a backup of the original first.

Note that any time you run a patch update, VAMroot/Saves/scene/MeshedVR/default.json will be overwritten, so if you keep your default scene there, make sure you have a backup under another name.

Yeah - this is what option 1) in @kemenate answer is the best one because that dedicated to the user and will never be overwritten.
