FOS Essentials targets projects managed by the VRChat Creator Companion.
1. Add the listing, once
Section titled “1. Add the listing, once”In the Creator Companion, open Settings → Packages → Add Repository and paste:
https://essentials.frenchoasis.studio/index.jsonThe download page has a button that does this for you if the Creator Companion is installed.
You only ever do this once. Every free pack, and every future version, appears from there on.
2. Install the tools you want
Section titled “2. Install the tools you want”Open your project in the Creator Companion, go to Manage Project, and install any FOS pack from the list.
The Core installs itself. Every pack declares FOS Essentials Core as a dependency, in the exact version it needs, so the Creator Companion pulls it in. There is no order to respect and no way to end up with a tool whose Core is missing or too old.
Updates appear in the same place, like any other package.
3. If you already installed a pack by hand
Section titled “3. If you already installed a pack by hand”Nothing to clean up. Each package names the folder its manual version used, so the
Creator Companion removes Assets/FOS/<Pack> while installing. Asset identifiers are
preserved, which means a scene you already wired keeps working.
Back up your project first, as you would before any package change.
4. Paid packs are installed manually
Section titled “4. Paid packs are installed manually”A VPM listing is public, and so is everything it points to. Tablet System Standard
and Pro are therefore delivered as .unitypackage files through the store.
Import them the usual way: Assets → Import Package → Custom Package. They depend on free packs — install those from the Creator Companion first, and the Hub will tell you if anything is missing.
5. Open the Hub
Section titled “5. Open the Hub”FOS Essentials → Hub, from the Unity menu bar.
The Hub is the control panel of the whole line: it lists the installed packs, their versions, the Core version each one needs, and reports anything missing.
6. Drop in a prefab
Section titled “6. Drop in a prefab”Each pack ships its prefabs under its own submenu: FOS Essentials → <Pack> → <Prefab>.
Prefabs are wired and ready. The pack documentation lists the fields you still have to fill in — usually a target transform, a canvas or a list of players.
Choosing the editor language
Section titled “Choosing the editor language”The Hub has a language selector: English, French, Spanish and German. It changes the inspectors, the tooltips and the Hub itself. The choice is stored per machine, not per project.
