Why Animal Company triggers motion sickness
A Moderate label on a game with no seated mode tells you the game expects you on your feet and moving, and young players rarely pace themselves. The sensible house rules are the same as for any movement heavy Quest game: sessions in minutes not hours, a fan in the room, and an immediate stop at the first complaint of feeling warm or dizzy.

For most people the worst of it fades within 10 to 20 minutes of taking the headset off; the full timeline and what speeds it up are covered in how long VR sickness lasts. Building tolerance deliberately is its own guide.
