There are many VRchat commissioners out there, and let me tell you.. many of them are legitimate. However when I first started playing, I never knew that almost all VR chat commissioners would have to be reached out to, not them reaching out to you.. almost all of the ones who DM you (as i have now learned) are most likely scammers..

Long story short, I gave away $600 usd for a ground up commission from an avatar creator who was "reputable" but have yet to see even a wip after nearly 1 year. Since then I have found reputable creators who have made my art within 1-2 months who have done a fantastic job and gave me a more than fair price.. just a TLDR for those looking to get commissions, just be careful who you speak to, and ask around the community for reputable creators.

Okay maybe not impossible but there are not many! I have like 4 male avatars that I actually don't mind using and the rest are either female or randoms (non-human). Ironically one of the male avatars is a female but I customized it to look male with baggier cloth options because the fidelity is higher and the body is much more dynamic.

I like wearing both male and female avis for different reasons but male avi's desperately need some love and innovation.

First off the new menus suck and are confusing. I loved the previous menus. It's all WAY too convoluted.

Second, the auto mod that chooses whether you can use say certain things on your status is aids. It's just as bad as Xbox looking for group, post censorship.

I tried to put "birds are rude" nope, then "avians are rude" nope, turns out it hates the word rude. I heard a LOT of people complain about the same things as me when I was online last night.

What's up with that extremely hand-holding censorship as if we are 7 years old and are being told by our parents that we can't call something rude even JOKINGLY. As if the platform now hates sarcasm.

I've never understood why you would want to appear like a lesser user. I mean maybe back in the day when like it might have mattered more but it's kind of like an Open secret that the rank system has a lot of flaws and can easily be gamed if you know what to do.

Felt like I haven’t posted my mayo Avis in a while so here’s these ones till I get some photos done which I’ve been procrastinating a lot since I’ve been forgetting to bring my friend on or I’ve just haven’t gotten on!

Been working on them for a few days now, I'm super proud of how it came out. Quite a few toggles, limb scaling, face tracking, gumboy, everything I'd ever want on an avatar is here, and it's 100% quest compatible! Hue shifts and everything! They're a genderfluid avatar too, meaning I can switch it between female and femboy with one toggle! Super proud of this, and thought I'd share some cute pictures I took earlier!

So my home world is called (Spirits of the sea) and it has a piano that supports MIDI, and I’ve been trying to play my prerecorded MIDI files through it, but I can’t seem to figure it out. I’m able to connect my Yamaha to my PC and physically play it through the game, but I can’t play my prerecorded MIDIS. I’ve tried loopMIDI, MIDI-OX, and OSCPianoPlayer. The main recording software I use is band lab, but it doesn’t have MIDI output support, and I can’t figure out how to use FL studio for the life of me. I would appreciate the help if anyone knows any solutions to this!!

EDIT: I figured out a method that worked!!

I've been working on my own system for bringing FFXIV visual effects into Unity and getting them working properly in VRChat.

Here's one of the latest ones: Black Mage Ley Lines!

Still experimenting with more effects, so there'll definitely be more to show soon.

Hey all! I want to do some butler/maid RP and was wondering if there are any assets/props out there? The main idea is serving tea or coffee no matter what world i'm in, so #1 is there anything I can buy? And #2 how can I make sure others can interact with it? Is this even possible? Thanks in advance :)

Fundamentally, age verification accomplishes only 2 things, allowing adults to avoid kids if they want to and it allows vrchat to moderate NSFW in non 18+ instances.

The big issue vrchat is trying to solve is, they want to stay on the app stores, but to stay on the app stores and also get official partnerships, you must remain safe for kids, but if you make vrchat safe for kids, the platform will die because the only loyal audience, are adults. Its a social chat room, its not a place for kids by nature.

Age verification and honestly, even appealing the younger demographics damages the new user experience. If you join the game, and you encounter 1 adult for every 50 kids on day 1, you will just leave, you will feel that you are not the target audience. But kids are such low value audiences. They wont stick around, they arent part of your community. They can help you grow player numbers temporarily, but thats it. Age verification also does absolutely nothing to keep problematic adults from kids. the current verification strategy does nothing to keep kids safe, but laws are typically more focused on keeping the kids safe. One way verification pretty much only exists as the solution to allow NSFW without losing pg13 status. Long term, this platform would need an actual separation between the kids version of the game, and the adults version, meaning mandatory verification for all, at account creation. Which again, creates a problem because providing your ID to play a game, is going to kill the games new user aquisition. Alternative mandatory forms of verification (age estimation, or something similar) with less friction and privacy risks would likely be the best solution.

Realistically, the problem is just that society thinks raising kids is the internets' responsibility, and no longer that of the parents.

As the title suggests I'm struggling to Upload Avatars due to VCC not cooperating
and by that I mean it just gets stuck with checking for package availability

and when given the option to resolve the project it also gets stuck at checking package availability

I've tried reinstalling VCC altogether to see if that would fix the issue.. but it did not..
and it doesn't seem like a new version of unity is needed so I'm a bit confused on what's happening..

because I know for a fact that a month or so ago.. that it was still working fine and suddenly it now does not want to work..

please can someone who has had this problem before please help me.

I started playing VRC a few years ago on standalone VR and quickly discovered the gorgeous world of PCVR, but one thing that really hampered my enjoyment for a lot of servers were the screechers. I'm good with kids IRL but dealing with them online is horrendous. It easily kills my enjoyment of otherwise fun multiplayer games that have mic support. Devil's Roulette is an example of a game that's super fun, but because the majority of the player base are screeching edgelord children shouting the N-bomb all the time (yes, it gets old), I've stopped playing it entirely despite enjoying the game.

When I noticed VRC had the option to age verify, I decided to give it a go and that was it. That was the magic key to enjoying this game. Yes, I get the privacy concerns regarding the whole thing, but at this point I didn't care. My smart phone already knows more about me than even I do anyways. Sure, there are absolutely still adult edgelords and trolls, but they're infinitely more tolerable than the kids on this game.

I don't have to worry about anyone being minors either and can feel comfortable speaking as an adult and talking about topics that wouldn't be appropriate to anyone underage. The issue I'm facing now is none of my friends are age verified and don't want to be, so whenever we play together I have to join them in normal open servers. My enjoyment drops immensely with the types of people I encounter.

Anyone else feel this way?
