: Older "pre-Var era" content often requires manual placement into specific subfolders like Custom/Atom/Person/Morphs .

The installation process depends entirely on what you find inside the zip once it's extracted. Follow these steps to ensure your new content loads correctly:

: If the zip contains folders like Custom , Saves , or VaM_Data , you must copy these directly into your main VaM installation directory. Custom/Clothes : For individual clothing items. Custom/Hair : For hairstyles.

: Ensure your VaM is installed in a directory like C:\VaM rather than your Desktop or Program Files to avoid permission errors.

: Open the zip file. If you see a file ending in .var , move it directly to your AddonPackages folder.

: If you find a .json file that looks like a scene.

just drop the .zip into that folder; VaM won't recognize it.
