: ShotaKaneda's models are often high-detail. If you experience lag, check if the package includes lower-resolution texture options or simplify the physics settings on the hair/clothing.

: Move the ShotaKaneda.laphicet.1.var file into your VaM installation directory, specifically in the AddonPackages folder: ..\Virt-a-Mate\AddonPackages\ShotaKaneda.laphicet.1.var

: Artist packages often rely on other assets (textures, hair, or morphs). If the character looks "broken" (e.g., gray skin or missing hair), ensure you have downloaded any required dependency .var files listed by the creator on their distribution page (usually Patreon or Hub).

: Open the software. VaM automatically scans the AddonPackages folder on startup to index new .var files. Load the Character : Open the Main Menu (press Esc ). Go to Add Atom -> Person .

: This file is primarily a Look (appearance) package. To use it in a scene, you can either load a pre-made scene that uses this asset or manually apply the look to a blank "Person" atom.

To properly use the file, you need to treat it as a standard package for Virt-a-Mate (VaM) . This specific file contains the character " Laphicet " (often based on the character from Tales of Berseria ) created by the artist ShotaKaneda . Installation Steps
