But there's no response. Is there anything else I should press?

The only thing I can think of that would cause this is if you don't have the required dependencies. Go to the Hub in-game and search for this scene, click on it, then check the left pane to make sure all dependencies are downloaded.
can i should click start playback first?

Make sure you have downloaded all the dependencies, like you see in this picture.
When you open the scene, you will have some options to choose from.
Embody Mode and Possession Mode are for virtual reality. Desktop Mode is for non-VR. Clicking on one will set up the scene for you.
After that, you can control the scene with the user interface.
Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 will begin the animations.
If you want to change the girl's appearance, select her and load an appearance preset. Then click "Load Clothing & Physics" to automatically adjust her for the scene.
(If you are having troubles reading the user interface in English, I recommend using the Google Translate app on your phone, and point it at the screen. It will translate the text for you.)
I hope this helps!
I already download all that dependencies X ( , I don't know what the problem is, but thank you for letting me know kindly. ^^
I think the mocap or action to undress and have the clothing respond is the difference between an ok dance and a really awesome dance. It's such a small thing (and it may be difficult to mocap and setup) but it really adds to the whole experience in a big way. Sadly, a lot of great dance scenes are ruined by static clothing or simplistic "it disappeared". Clothing fails with the "undress" setting (ENF) is kinda sexy but in a striptease, the dancer needs to control that for maximum effect.
Based on my own experience learning how to get clothing to act right, this is difficult and I imagine sometimes it's easy to just fit it and publish. I also wish there was a way you could stop a previously recorded animation and direct them to do something different and then go back to the animation fluidly.
Anyway, that's my two cents and I hope that it helps you continue to do good work!

Hey CuddleMocap! I was finally checking out this scene the other day and was wondering how to add the Emissive effect to other clothing items...namely...I want to switch out the Harli Heels for a pair I like a lot more and add the Emissive effect. It's been years since I used that plugin to be honest but I tried to put a random decal png titled "(em).png" to see if it would work but the Plugin didn't pick it up. For some reason I can't get the Filter Override to show me the clothing items it is applied to either which is how I assume you applied it...maybe I have the wrong version? Thank you for your awesome work! Your scenes are just so well made. Thanks

First off, my scenes do use version 2 of the emissive clothing plugin. I was having some issues with version 4, so I did not upgrade the plugin. If you do not have version 2 in your AddonPackages, that could be causing issues.
As far as changing the clothing, yes you should be able to replace anything in the scene with clothing of your choice, but just keep in mind that it is per material, not per clothing item. Edit the clothing option and look at the side tabs, it will show you all the individual materials. Sometimes it is only one layer, and sometimes it has several.
You are probably missing a step when you change the clothing. Open the emissive plugin and click on "Rescan active clothes". This will make all the materials from all active clothing appear on the list. Just click the material to make it glow. That's it! (Keep in mind that clothing with Sim is a lot more buggy than clothing without Sim.)
Thank you!
I was able to get all the materials to appear on the list but for some reason it still failed to light up. Are there specific settings I need on the clothing materials? Like does the pigment need to be set to white or any specular or diffuse or alpha settings? Etc? Thanks! I love the concept and can't wait to see what else you come up with and hope you are doing well

There is a slider inside the plugin that decides which texture to use for the emissive layer. It's called Texture Source Priority, above Verbose. Try using different settings until you get the clothing to glow correctly. You shouldn't need to change anything inside the clothing itself.
