VaM 1.x how do I delete the reference to a missing package in a scene?

Hey there, so I'm having a hard time finding the answer anywhere, and it's kinda an emergency.

So, I downloaded a bunch of premium stuff from a creator on patreon, and ended up finding literal CP in the assets. This particular creator didn't create it, at least I don't think, but regardless, it was in their assets and I fucking downloaded it and saw it. I'm going to try to convince myself that the creator had no idea as the only thing I've seen referencing that awful scene is a single clothing item.

I reported everything to the FBI and all associations. But now, not only am I scarred for life having to see that, knowing it now exists, and being traumatized by it, the scene I specifically purchased this creator's stuff for is referencing that abomination.

How do I delete this reference, please help me ASAP.

I was able to figure it out myself and will leave the instructions here for people in the future.

Go into the .var file, then search for all .json files. Ctrl F the name of the reference, and remove it, and make sure it is indented the same way.

I will also leave this link here for future reference in case anyone has to go through what I did: https://tips.fbi.gov/home

I cannot believe not only that I downloaded that, but how easy it was to get without even trying. I am ex-military and have seen some shit before, but that was literally the first time I've ever had an immediate realization of trauma. Please check all of your assets and double check that everything you have is 18+ because now I'm worried there could be some of you out there with it on your PC without even realizing.

Take care.

Hey all,

Just a follow up:

We did investigate and found that a certain creator was including a lot of additional packages in their paid Mega links that were not reported/included in the versions of the paid vars they had uploaded to the Hub for scan.

Unfortunately, that has resulted in us being forced to take immediate action to remove that creator's paid content.

Included in the redistributed vars from other creators was one var by creator "HB3D" which is a blacklisted/banned creator who has been reported creating underage content.

Again, unfortunately, the paid hub creator who redistributed this var as a paid mega link must take responsibility.

We want to make the following recommendations:

1. Do a quick search of your addonpackages folder and delete any content by creator "HB3D" if it exists.
Laws and penalties regarding certain types of content vary by country, state, and region. It is your responsibility to make sure the content you distribute does not violate any US laws or any laws in your region.

2. When creating paid content, we do not recommend including additional dependencies as actual distributed files. Although often times these vars come with a supposed license that allows distribution, you are ultimately responsible for the content you distribute.
If another creator has violated our policies and you are selling or redistributing their content, then you take responsibility for the fallout if that content was pirated or contains something that grossly violates our content policies.
