So I’m planning on making a almost fully customizable character creator for a erotic game in Twine with the story format of sugarcube.

Can you provide more details? What does "fully customizable" mean?

Generally, this isn't too hard:
1. Create an object for your player.
2. Define properties like age, hair color, muscularity, etc.
3. If you want a clothing system you have to plan out whether it only applies to your MC character or is a system for general use (e.g. choosing outfits for other characters). If the latter is true, you might want to create an own array with clothes.
4. Build a passage where players can customize the character. Generally, there are two approaches:
a) Menu based (i.e. with dropdown menus or boxes to tick)
b) Link based (make sure to read the documentation about DOM macros)

You also should put some planning into the scope of the character creation. Do stats / clothes affect the flow of the game or are they purely for cosmetics?
