• Hi Guest!

    Please be aware that we have released another critical security patch for VaM. We strongly recommend updating to version 1.22.0.12 using the VaM_Updater found in your installation folder.

    Details about the security patch can be found here.

This guide applies to the NEXT template and any scene made from it:




load a appearance preset



This is the first thing I do in any scene, to change the person's appearance.

The NEXT template's persons are built-in skins with no hair. They do come with fluid clothing hidden at start. Both persons use a scale of 1, the default value.

After you load a appearance preset I suggest you press the button "calibrate" (Body in main UI) for Naturalis to adjust the breasts and glutes of the female person atom(s).

Do not use look presets (in legacy presets) as these change the atom's name and have the potential to break triggers in the scene.



add clothes




The starting persons come nude in terms of real clothing.
While this is already quite interesting considering the animations that come with the template, adding clothing can spice up and theme the template to new interests.

You can add clothing in any way you want. The important point here is that if you change clothing, press the button "add/clean fluids" to merge load the fluids clothing back to the persons. This can be before or during a sex animation, as long as it's before the orgasm moment.


How to use a quickdress subscene in the NEXT template scene:
  1. Click the quickdress atom usually on the left side of the male person;
  2. Load a preset from the VARs in the below linked guide's for "Female";
  3. A panel with buttons should appear to load clothes and do actions on the female person, it overwrites existing clothes;
  4. In body UI, click "add/clean fluids" to merge back the cum clothing









load a environment




quickplace subscenes load prepared environments that auto adjust to the animations in the NEXT template.
The idea behind it is simple: instead of moving persons around we move the environment around the persons.

What happens is that a quickplace environment is animation name synced with Timeline to the template's animations, which then repositions itself to the appropriate location.

With this method you can load and change through multiple environments without needing to leave the scene, and the quickplace subscenes work on any NEXT template made scene.


How to use a quickplace subscene environment:

At the origin (0, 0, 0) is a subscene atom named quickplace. Load a subscene from one of the quickplace VARs you downloaded with the filename Template. You need to be on the "Reset" position in the template, which is the default position of the persons.

Once the subscene environment is loaded, feel free to click on the sex action buttons and the environment will reposition itself fittingly.
If you want to try the other, just repeat the process of loading the subscene. Just make sure you're in the "Reset" position.


If you're interested in using a quickplace subscene environment, you have these two shown below to download and load

A long description of the concept can be read in my quickplace guides, but in a brief way it works like this:
  • A environment is added to a subscene which contains a Timeline instance;
  • The Timeline shares the same names of the segments and initial animations as the persons, which makes them all play synchronized;
  • The target in the Timeline is the main environment atom, a CUA for simpler environments, or a empty/subscene atom for others;
  • Lights and other environment parts are parent linked to the main environment atom.
When you click on "Doggy", both the persons and the environment will reposition simultaneously to the right places, like magic .?

Why this way of doing things? Because it gives you the possibility to use any environment (previously readied of course) on the same scene in a few seconds. No need to save a scene, multiple copies using different locations, they're all available on demand, 2, 20, 200, any number.




More modular things you can load on the template

Load music

There's a quickmusic atom with a plugin from MacGruber to load and play a assetbundle with music. Once you load a music assetbundle in there, you can use the Audio UI to play, skip tracks and adjust volume.

If you don't have any music assetbundles around, no problem, VamEssentials uploaded a bunch of them to the Hub, try them out:

If you want to make your own music assetbundles (also commonly named audiobundles), the process of using Unity is very simple and worthwhile giving it a try. If you never used Unity, might as well start now as VaM 2 will use this tool extensively.

For more information see my quickspeech guide in the section "Audio assetbundles":


Load audio speech (female atom)

Do you want the girl to say things to you? Not a problem, just load a compatible audiobundle with speech on the quickspeech atom.
I have 2 american voices audiobundles you can use:
  1. Find to the quickspeech atom
  2. Load the preset from the VAR in the guide above
  3. Go to Audio UI and click "Load quickspeech audiobundle"
When you start a sex action, the female will speak to you random sentences of the audiobundle in 4 themes:
  • Before sex (once)
  • During sex (loop)
  • Pre-cum (twice)
  • After sex (once)
If you want to learn more about the quickspeech system and make your own audiobundles, check out the guide linked in "Load music".
If you're worried it's some complicated Unity stuff or VaM use, it's not at all. Honestly, over 98% of the work to make one of these speech audiobundles is on creating and editing sound files, completely outside the realm of Unity and VaM.
