    @lalal44 if thats all you're worried about, just buy some vrc+ and do a few uploads when you get to user

      @Literal can you try to dig deep into VRChat and try to find the Nyasuka avatar? also it's kinda privated but that model was the thing that made me keep remembering my ex-boyfriend. it's called Nyasuka Funny and it was published by Bradash, also can you and Nude options to the avatar? thanks. -Markus

      @OfficialMTSW I was able to pull out this avatar, or rather a personal version of Laibzer. But the avatar's Index is broken. I can give you the original files to rip up. If you can unzip them in a working form, I would be grateful if you could share it in such a way.

        I saw a post and some people saying that this is causing bans! i would like to state this method is neither risky or can get you caught within a ban. this is a manual method for cache grabbing. You could theoretically do this with no internet nor connection to any VRChat or Unity Services. on top of that you can use an old version of asset ripper offline. if you are getting banned its because you are openly telling people you are ripping or a avatar creator reported you after ripping there stuff. on top of that i know if you are user of SARS that got detected not to long ago from what im told. it might be better now i have no idea. i still do this method with NO ban!

          Thank you for the tutorial. I managed to extract the files using AssetRipper, but how do I import them back into VRC? Could you elaborate on this or perhaps point me to where I can find this info?

                because you closed the assetripper when it's extracting or you closed it in general.

                  @IMAXwPC Make sure that asset ripper stays open. it should open a local host website for ripping! Dont close that or the Console when ripping

                      @Myong Cache files (VRCA and VRCW) are now encrypted and require a handshake with the VRChat server to be decrypted on load. As of right now, you can no longer rip or hotswap avatars

                        @GordonRamsMe These models were ripped along side a few others on the same day and time and before they apparently encrypted them + most of the other models i attempted to pull from that batch worked but there was just 3-4 that werent working/throwing similar errors to what i linked so i doubt its because of that

                            Is there any website to download avatars by ID, or containing vrchat caches? i'm trying to get just a single one avatar, but its being almost impossible.
                            i tried SARS, got a key for it just to find out downloading isn't implemented anymore.
                            Tried assetripper but... of course that doesn't work anymore. All i managed to do is to get the avatar CAB files using UABEAvalonia. My hopes on inspecting vrchat http requests are gone too, since they use a handshake. I even wondered about looking into ram, since vrchat has to store the avatar decrypted somewhere anyway, but that's not possible on windows.

                            I just wanted this single one avatar, and all i have is those CAB files and the ID of it. Can someone please help me or at least team up? then maybe we can find out a way to extract or download it together.

                            Looking for someone who can bypass avatar encryption. I just need to get a single avatar. Still have the ID of it.

                                      It looks like that up to a certain point, this still works, but I don't know just how far that point is. When I checked my files in a solo there are still things there, and its the two files shown, I just don't know if the deleting aspect of it is gonna mess anything up or not

                                        Yes, vrchat has encrypted their data to the game
                                        So maybe that’s why it won’t work

                                          If you are trying to rip NEW Avatars it will not work! VRC introduced a Unity Encryption Method to their asset bundles
                                          until a ripping tool has the crack for it you cant rip!

                                          However! If you have Old VRCA or __data files! you can rip them still with current rippers

                                          If i find a new method on ripping i will release it however! at the current time no one has the proper tools to rip yet! there is a Private method currently that hasn't been disclosed to anyone but a select few!

                                          I dont really play VRC like that anymore so might be awhile or someone else will release an updated tutorial on it!
