VaM 1.x Where to find the custom looks in main folder?

Hello,

I would like to ask where I can find my custom looks to make a backup save of them since my actual VAM folder got messed up really bad and I had to install VAM again into a new location.
I have now to reinstall everything, import my custom scenes and everything, but I cannot find the location where are stored the custom looks that I created and saved.

Can you help me please?

Thank you

You saved them with appearance presets?
If so, you need to backup Custom and Saves.

What you can do is also have a double install, that way you can find your missing files before removing everything ^^

thank you very much for the advice.

Yes I saved them with Appearance pressets option ingame.

When you say double install what does it means exactly please? I already have another game directory installed aside of my old main Game directory.

thanks in advance

Just having two VAM installs before doing anything crazy

Btw, if you want to know where all Persons atom things are saved it's in Custom/Atom/Person.

got it, What i'm currently doing, is opening a scene that I imported and looking which ressources are missing when the scene got oppened, then I download every single missing ressource on the hub, reload the scene and see if it brings back the original scene look and features.

But I'm trying to avoid any unwanted ressource that caused me a lot of headaches before, and also on the purpose to keep my new install as light as possible, the old one is more than 1TO probably due to cache folder...

I use the User Preferences tab to flush the cache when it hits 20GB. I see no need to keep everything I've ever tried and deleted in the local cache.

You can also use the Package Manager in game to mark var packages to ignore and hide missing dependencies. Once you've figured out what assets a scene will work fine without, then mark the var that calls them this way and delete unwanted packages. (or store them somewhere else).
