Solved VR - best quality of life recommendations

[cmramlow]

Returning to VR in VAM after a long absence due to getting a new quest headset and struggling to do a few things where I bet there's some QOL packages out there the community can pro-tip their recommendations. What are you guys using in VR? Thanks!

Download pretty much every plugin by @Stopper @CheesyFX @PluginIdea @SPQR @Acid Bubbles @MacGruber and work your way outwards from there. I did a post last year with some recommendations that I'm planning a sequel to soon. There are also some great guides out there worth working your way through here.

Regarding QoL when working in Desktop mode (you should, VR is for playing...) I recommend these as your always loaded session plugings:

1. PowerHandles (by myself, part of Essentials pack)
   • Massive improvements for precise placement, measures to prevent accidental movement, extremely helpful easy access to global coords and grid alignment
2. Keybindings (by Acid Bubbles)
   • You really want deleting atoms and cloning atoms on a hotkey!
   • You can also setup hotkeys for selecting body parts
   • my recommended profile file here: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/macgrubers-keybindings-profile.7072/
3. FrameRateControl (by myself, part of Essentials pack)
   • Pause VaM when not focused (e.g. when you work in Blender, Unity or do coding) so you save on heat, energy use and fan noise level.
   • Also essential for video recording, because it allows you to record at half your monitor refresh rate, so precisely at 30Hz, etc. That prevents doubled or skipped frames, so you video is a LOT smoother although it's just 30fps.
4. EditMode (by myself, part of Essentials pack)
   • Switch to Edit mode when launching VaM and enable targets
5. SuperShot (by myself, part of Essentials pack)
   • Replaces the build-in screenshot tool with larger preview window and also better image quality and lots of options.
   • Also has options for automation when used with LogicBricks

I'll try these plugin recommendations and can't wait to read the sequel, thank you!

for the best since always unmatched quality of fapping: @via5 "cue" plugin and FabioDen.PoseManager.140.var (plus everlaster naturalis, cheesyFX plugins etc.)

I'll check out cue, thanks!

Yep, your plugins have already always been staple as well as the AB key bindings. Thank you for chiming in!
