Loading needs to be done with Appearance Presets. Loading looks the old way via Select Root -> Load Look tends to screw up the Scenes plugin setup, Morphs and Poses. If you already knew this, skip to the bottom of this guide for some extra alignment tricks - there are some returning oldschool Vammers and new players who still have troubles with this.

There are some things you can try to adjust if youve loaded an appearance and the Persons in your desired Scene are still misaligned.
I. Resize the Person(s)
1. Click on the original Person you want to replace in your desired Scene. Click on Select Root and look at the Value of the "Scale" slider in the bottom left of the Root window. Set the same Value for the person that you are trying to load.
2. Sometimes there are Size differences that occur because of a single or a couple of Morphs and this isnt fixable by replicating the Scale value. To bypass this, save the look you want replaced aswell as the replacing look as Appearance presets. Load a new Scene, load both Persons next to each other and then adjust your replacing looks height manually to the exact height of the look you want replaced. You can do this with the Scale slider mentioned above.
II. Rootcontrol positioning.
Did you know that appearances are loaded around the Persons Rootcontrol? (the little Icon that looks like a walking Stickfigure which is natively located between the Persons feet)
We can work with that to increase alignment quality of loaded appearances in Scenes. To do this, you check "Detach the Persons Rootcontrol" in the Control&Physics 1 Tab - then you realign the rootcontrol to exactly where the point of insertion is in your desired Scene. Lastly, uncheck "Detach Person Root Control" again and load your Appearance. Doesnt work if the Rootcontrol is Animated.
