Guys, i know there is alot of hoarders like me, i hoarded so much (~700gb) that ATOM PERSON suddenly takes 10 mins to load XD
Is there any way to fix it? It was decent (1-2 mins) for a while, but something broke the camels back and im not sure where to start checking.
To be clear, its only load so long for the first time,2-3 load is fine, but initial time is oof.
Also VaM started eating RAM, like 20GB of it.
(To be clear, it happens even if i just add person to the scene)
Maybe its easier to fresh install than to go through 700GB of content. You dont have to delete everything. Just move your favorite stuff to the new install location.

Also, I don't download every dependence from scenes. Plugins must be donwloaded to prevent issues, but assets like clothing, looks, etc can be ignored

I also like to delete normalmap texture from looks. They are huge and dont make too much difference in my opinion.

Another interesting tool is the var manager from the hub. It just moves stuff from your vam install to another place where it wont affect load times, because you cant use 700GB of content in a single day. So you pick what you want for that day and the rest is safely stored in another place.

You can also download the CPU patch from Vam hub. I noticed a big improvement in load times after using it.

i started using . this tool basically keeps all the vars u dont use in a different folder and loads it automatically when u need it. read this post for more details.

Yeah, just export your favourite scenes and dependencies to a fresh installation.

There is a app called which promises to clean up your Vam folder.
It should also create new shortcuts from older plugin versions to the newer ones and deletes outdated stuff.
But the app crashes for me everytime when the scan is almost finished.
My Vam folder is like 360GB sitting on a gen4 M2 with 32gb of ram and an additional 50GB pagefile.

Idk if it is a Ram problem or the app is just outdated/trash.
Lemme know when you consider trying this instead and if it works for you.

A few more points. VAR Browser really helps with load time and helps keep AddonPackages somewhat slim. But there are other tools that are needed. Here is a brief list of other tools that help with VAM performance and stability:

I bought a new HD for a new PC build, so I was presented an opportunity to throw caution to the wind. I made some MASSIVE changes to my AddonPackages just to see what would happen.

- I installed sfishere's VAR browser which fixed the loading time problem.
- Then I used le_hibou's morphbloatscanner ( ) to identify the worst morph offenders and I removed them. This fixed the dreaded "Too many heap sections" problem.
- AND THEN I performed open heart surgery by using Pesadilla's DeDuplicator (LINK), which went INTO the VAR files and removed redundancies.
- Then, I used Bill Prime's VAR Manager ( ) to block redundant items from appearing in VAM (I don't think it removes anything).
- And finally, I stumbled across turtlebackgoofy's Performance Patch ( ) which made multi-thread process possible for the first time.

BOOM! My VAM installation with close to 2TB of VARs started up like it was a virgin install and ran faster than it ever did.

BUT as my current collection has pushed past 2.1TB and I have cluttered my AddonPackages with a lot of VARs with must-install, the load time has gotten slower. But I can use Var Browser to speed things up from time to time.

Hi, idk if you guys saw, but, there was a VaM2 news update with videos of the new VaM2 Addon Kit. I don't know if it flew under the radar here or what but at least I found it interesting so I figured I'd repost them here for anyone who might be interested.



The posts are free to read and has a lot of text so I won't repost the text here, also, here are the vids for convenience:

Is there any way to copy or move from one scene to another? o_O

Second question, is there any way to copy lighting from one scene to another? For a newcomer like me, this is really difficult.

some splineVR looks have that. get the normals from there and combine it with the normal you already have, in something like substance painter. you can increase the strength with SP too.

Does this still work? Figured I'd check before downloading something potentially outdated.

Edit: Just noticed the original post was last updated last month. Disregard my question. I haven't been here in awhile.
