How to make VAM more enjoyable avoding long preparation?

[moriana]

Hi,

I'm new to VAM and primarily use VAMX, but I've encountered several issues that make the experience less enjoyable and more time-consuming. I often find myself caught up in preparations, forgetting to actually enjoy the game. I'm hoping you can help me address these problems to enhance my VAM experience:

1. Pose and Scene Setup: When I start the game, I want to have fun. However, preparing default scenes and adjusting model poses in VAMX can be exhausting. Even with the preset poses, I find myself constantly readjusting positions, for example with sitting poses that often obstruct my view with the chair. Some poses also make models look unnatural. Are there other sandbox tools or methods to easily set up presets with models?
2. Model Replacement: Is there a straightforward way to replace models in pre-defined scenes? Currently, I load a new scene with a model, also adding VAMX to the scene and adjusting angles and positions. This process is time-consuming and i lose more and more interest over the time. It is nice to look at it for a few moments and thats it.
3. Dynamic Scenes: I load a scene. Everthing looks pretty. Model looks awesome. But it is not moving, not dancing. She does nothing. How to achieve a kind of arousing tease without investing a big amount of time? (VAMX excluded)
4. Finetuning: How to reduce the amount of finetuning while watching a scene? Sometimes it is annyoing to reposition the own view. Are there scenes with predefined viewpoints for the best experience?

tl;dr
What is the best way to have the most fun out of vam without investing time preparing the scene and positions? I just want to start the software, load a scene and have fun watching the action. And not a static scene where the model stands like a doll.

Maybe someone give me some advices . Maybe i should invest first time to prepare scenes for my preferences and save them.

You actually answered your whole post by yourself at the end: tweak save, then enjoy (and enjoy it again later).

But, to cover most of your situations: if you want to simply enjoy a scene, then load the scene and enjoy it. Do not start to change it : ) (hoping that the creator has made a proper UX).

VAM being a sandbox, as soon as you enter the edit mode, you're pretty much going down a rabbit hole. Especially with model replacement, this can lead to animation breaking, misalignment and more. VAM will not ever be able to fix the inherent issue of slapping a 2m tall character on an animation made for a 1.5m tall girl (and vice versa).

For the dynamic scenes (I don't really understand what you mean by that), there's no way to make something out of nothing
If it's just a static scene, if you don't know how to animate or import animations or make your own scene overall, nobody is going to do it for you sadly.

My best advice: you simply need to find scenes that are well done, and creators you like. That's the best you can do. And potentially edit and save them to fit your needs.

VAM is not a static game, you're kind of forced to understand it a bit and eventually tweak. It's how the game is designed, it's not gonna become a static game, it's a sandbox : )

To me most of the fun in VaM is making stuff for VaM, and almost always will change something in a scene.
If I want static quick fun where I can't change anything I use VR porn, VaM IS for messing around

Careful now @hazmhox,
you quit Discord because you were getting sucked into it too much but the forum can also be quite addictive
