So, without further ado, let’s get into how you can set up Virt a Mate on your PC and VR headset.
What Is Virt A Mate
Virta Mate or Virt-a-Mate is a virtual reality sex simulator game with sandbox features that allows you to move around freely and explore your sexual fantasies. Virt a Mate is ideal for people who wish to fulfill their wildest fantasies in virtual reality.
The main game makes use of realistic visuals and graphics where the characters move like humans. They also move with realistic physics and can render wherever you place them in any scenario.
Virta Mate is compatible with almost all PC types making it one of the most popular choices for VR porn games. With the help of a VR headset, including Oculus Quest, you can transport yourself into the world of Virt a Mate.
Some features of Virt a Mate are:
- Full customization properties
- Can record your favorite scenes
- Adding new game atoms
- Realistic body mechanics
What Are Virt a Mate Atoms?
Virt a Mate atoms are extra pieces that can be added to a scene in the game. For example, some common atoms are:
- Lights
- Environments
- People
- Clothing
- Props
- Patterns of animation
You must keep in mind that if you do not own the Creator package for the game, you will not be able to add atoms. But the majority of the custom props and scenes you get are fun to play, even without the atoms.
Since Virt a Mate is a sandbox, it functions the way you wish for it to. This might make the game easier to figure out for people who can figure out the controls and game mechanics. But for casual gamers, it can be slightly complicated. To solve this issue, Virta Mate offers an extension called vamX, which makes the whole game simpler for new players.
What Is vamX?
Virta Mate is a sandbox game and can be harder for new players to figure out. vamX is an extension that simplifies the game and makes it more straightforward. Rather than having the open sandbox game, this extension allows the user to manipulate the characters into predesigned actions and positions. For example:
- Lap dances
- Sitting or standing
- Accurate arousal
- Mood indicators
- Specific positions for sexual activities
Rather than downloading individual characters and props, vamX allows the user to choose from pre-installed content. With the help of a singular button, you can change scenes and positions effortlessly.
How To Install Virt A Mate
Virt a Mate can be installed in two ways, as a part of the VRPorn.com membership and by using Steam.
