How to use 'GoGo Loco' × 'GoGo Freeze' for VRChat sleeping

Introduction

　I have been VR sleeping in VRChat almost every day since 2021, and I will write about the sleep setup that I currently feel is good.

　I am introducing a sleep method that uses both 'GoGo Loco' and 'GoGo Freeze'. Some people may have introduced 'GoGo Loco' for flying, but I think many people do not know about 'GoGo Freeze'.
　By combining both, you can take measures against controller drift, tossing and turning, and tracking loss.

・GoGo Loco: Handles height adjustment, pose locking, and position locking
・GoGo Freeze: Handles bone locking for arms (or the whole body)

　I am a Quest standalone sleep user, so I incorporate these gimmicks and use QuestTools to convert my avatar for use.

Gimmicks used

●GoGo Loco [VRCFury/ModularAvatar]

　It is a gimmick packed with features such as flying, pose locking, height adjustment, joke motions, and slightly lewd poses. Among these, I use 'height adjustment', 'face up/face down/side-facing', and 'pose locking' for VR sleeping.
　Also, if you use this pose locking, you can prevent controller drift while sleeping.

●GoGo Freeze [VRCFury]

　You can specify bones to lock them in place. This prevents issues like your arms spinning around when they go out of range of the infrared light tracking.
　Also, unlike GoGo Loco, which only forces a pose, you can also lock your body in any pose. (You can even do things like out-of-body experiences where your avatar stays completely fixed in place even if you move. It might also be useful for checking during avatar modification?)

Sleep method

1. Lock your facial expression (VRChat standard feature)

• You can lock your facial expression by making the 'expression you want to lock' and then 'turning off gestures from the radial menu'.

• If your avatar has a built-in expression locking gimmick, you can use that instead.

2. Lie down (GoGo Loco)

• Select face up / face down / side-facing, etc., from the menu. (Be careful, as pose items with sliders might have lewd initial values.)

• Since you can force a pose regardless of whether you are sitting, etc., you can take a pose even in special states such as when the guardian is disabled.

3. Adjust the height (GoGo Loco)

• Adjust the avatar height.

• No need to worry even if the bed doesn't have a collider.

4. Fix the position (GoGo Loco)

• Fix the avatar position to prevent drifting due to tracking loss or shifting from tossing and turning.

• Since only the position is fixed, head and hand movements will still be reflected.

5. Fix the arms (GoGo Freeze)

• Turn 'Arm Lock' ON → lock the bones from shoulder to wrist.

• The arms won't flail around even if controller tracking is lost or they go out of view.

• Internal tracking remains active, so menu operations work without issues.

6. Option: Full body lock (GoGo Freeze)

• In addition to the buttons above, turn the head and torso lock buttons ON → the avatar will not move an inch even if the HMD flies off.

• Since the avatar will not move at all, this is not recommended for those who want their subtle movements while sleeping to be visible.

• You can also lock the full body by pressing the 'skull mark' button, but this is not recommended for sleeping because the Head becomes visible from the operator's perspective.

Conclusion

　Previously, I used 'Open Quest menu → return arms to initial position' to stop the arms from flailing, but by combining
GoGo Loco and GoGo Freeze, it becomes possible to fix any desired posture.

'My arms keep spinning around while I'm V-sleeping and it's bothering me'... For those struggling with such issues, I personally recommend this setup.

Wishing you a better VRChat sleeping life.
