Which VAM path is right? - Custom/Clothing and Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing

[Fantano]

Yeah, I know it's kinda sounds noob, but i'm little confused. Because some downloaded mods has different clothing and hair paths which are different from what I know.
Which is the right, absolute path for clothing and hair, right bottom of the custom folder, or person folder?

Technically both paths are correct, but for different use case.

...Custom/Clothing is default location for clothing items, individual presets for said items are also saved inside (Preset / Custom tab).
(same with Custom/Hair)

...Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing is default path for clothing presets (presets from Clothing presets tab, applies to all equiped items).
(same with Custom/Atom/Person/Hair)

One benefit of using Atom/Person/Clothing (or Atom/Person/Hair) over Custom/Clothing (or Custom/Hair) presets is that you can easily merge load them.

You know, I once moved outside clothing and hair folder inside atom/person because I thought it was stupid mistake...
...Am I screwed...?

If you had few local items (not var packaged), than you are probably missing them.
You should check for .vab/.vaj/.vam files inside atom/person (they don't belong there).

Clothes and hairstyles are not "atoms", there are no atom/clothing or atom/hair folders.
They need to be inside correct folder to load (atom/person is only for person atom related stuff).
Vanilla VaM client doesn't have any 'loose' local clothing files, but still there are 12 local hairstyles (for whatever reason).

Then I must check the log, one by one when I load presets... Moving folders without any knowledge was the dumbest choice what I did.
Thanks for the kind answer!
