I don’t think it’s because of morphs I think all but 2 are default morphs.. most dependencies should be clothing as the scene comes with a ton of clothing options so... optional downloads in most cases. if you're an avid VAM user you should have most of these dependencies anyway and if not, they are great assets to have.
I put in the main post links to the 'look' you need and makeup that you dont really need but i feel completes the look. everything else, clothing wise, is superficial and optional.
hola, take a read through this: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/how-to-package-like-a-pro-a-guide-on-proper-var-building.8212/
see if that helps you spot some dependencies that can be removed
good luck
After reading your update post, naturally i had to download this and peek inside meta.
To be fair you have about 70 presets (every single one of them can have impact on dependencies).
Didn't search inside them, however i did look inside your main scene and subscenes.
Based on that only 2 references caught my attention Gegecucu.Happy_Game.4 & TOM_ACE.FGNDLook.latest
With first one you have Skinny Jeans equipped inside your main scene (maybe inside one of presets as well), but not correct package reference.
Instead of jakuubz.Skinny_Jeans.1 (with 0 dependencies) you use same Jeans from Gegecucu.Happy_Game.4 (with 15 dependencies).
And second one less important TOM_ACE.FGNDLook.latest, i'll mention it only because it's not hub hosted...4 dependencies there, that's nothing.
You use TikTok_Makeup(drunkenness).png face decal from that package inside main scene (maybe in one of presets as well).
Possible 10% reduction in dependencies is no major impact (compared to 143).
My guess there are some morphs/pose morphs, preset textfield saved inside those presets...but way too many to look through.
To be fair most of your dependencies are used, not many unused sub-dependencies either.
Based on the way this scene/package is constructed, i doubt total number can even go bellow 100 (it's just the nature of scene, not your fault).

no worries, maybe focus on the "How to avoid it in the first place and make clean VARs easily" section. you might find those best practices help you spot some improvements to make. it talks about using VaM in there, much less brain melting than reading the raw files!
very insightful, thank you
Yep, it's a bit long and not that easy to explain.
thanks! I appreciate the feedback
