Looks Nebula for everyone

Alright, 3 hours later and many posts later, I think I have FINALLY figured out how to upload. Been using VaM for around a year and made these models months ago and always wanted to share with the community. 3 models available, 2 bimbofied,1 exposed and 1 not, and a look inspired by the What If...? series not bimbofied.

Alright so looking closer at my dependancies, there are a lot that are not required, I'm going to work on getting the right dependancies without the clutter tomorrow/later, and upload an update. From what I've read it's going to involve looking at the actual file in my PC which I didn't sign up for but oh well. Any tips for this would be appreciated.

Hi Derglasnaf,

Congrats on your first upload.

Dependencies can be a bit confusing at first, but it would be good to trim that list down to what you actually need for the scene/look. I've got a bit carried away creating things and had to take a hedge trimmer to my looks and scenes many times.
This plugin is really useful to see what dependencies are being used in a scene in vam.

Also I created this scene from scratch using the Create option, (other than changing models to my look which uses Lefthandbuffalos Ruby model) so I don't know why there are so many sub dependancies.

Sub dependencies get pulled in from the things you are using; like skins, clothes, hair, cua's etc. If what you are using comes from another creators var, then the dependencies they used to make the scene are listed as sub-dependencies for your scene too. Normally it's not a problem if you are using the original creators version of things, as they tend to be mindful to use just what is needed to make the scene.

One example of sub dependencies. You are using something from my Hellraiser Priestess clothing/look. I made a demo scene for that look to pack the skin textures and clothing together, so using it also adds the sorcery pose pack and the vam-rotator plugin i used in the demoscene.

The trouble comes when someone packs hair/clothing/texture in with a large scene with alot of dependencies and sub dependencies. I'd recomend looking for what is using the wolverine333.lauren var. as that has alot of dependencies itself. If it's a hairstyle that has been repacked, search for the original version on the hub and use that instead. (you can hover over the little cube/box icon at the top of hairs and clothing items in the list and it will show the var name that it comes from. If it's different from the creator name on the item itself, it has been duplicated/repacked. If you have duplicates of the same thing in your hair or clothing lists, that's normally what causes this.

Good luck.

I really want to fix this but I still have absolutely no clue what I'm doing. Am I supposed to download all the things used in my scene from the VaM hub website, not the VaM hub in VaM? I don't think I'm going to fix this anytime soon

The Vam hub is the same stuff in vam as on the main website, so it makes no difference.
I think you are over thinking this and stressing unnecessarily. You don't need to remove all dependencies, just get it down to a reasonable number of hub hosted ones.
Open your scene and check the clothing/hair or any textures you changed. With hairs and clothing you can filter "show Active" to view what is on the person. Hover your mouse over the little cube icon at the top left of the clothing item and you will see which var it is pulling it in from. If that is different from the creator name on the clothing/hair, then it's probably a duplication that's pulling in stuff from another scene. You can then search the original creator/item if you don't have it already and use that one instead.
Check to see which one is coming from wolverine333.lauren, as I think removing that one will fix allot of your issues.
