Haha thank you very much for the kind words glodomorrapl! This is the beauty of VaM and all the talented creators pulled by this game
My first experience with VaM was pretty much the same, I started it, was too overwhelmed and clueless what to do and then I uninstalled it xD. But was still checking the resources reddit now and then. And after a while I spotted some hot scenes, looks and plugins, which pulled me back in and gave motivation to start playing around and experimenting
Regarding the looks you can use in VSR..the super cute girls from ascorad fit into this scene pretty much from the start, so check them out if you have not already:
