So if your like me you've been trying to figure out how to create a var package from existing vac or other types of non-var files.
Its been driving me batty because i thought it was simple and well it is but there is some info that's been missing out there.
Namely to create a var from say a clothing pack someone else made, take your favorite creator. The issue is you have to put the clothing pack or other files in the old locations. So for clothing thats under VAM/custom/clothing/female/creatorname/clothingfiles. For example take this: C:\VAM\Custom\Clothing\Female\Jakuubz\90's Bikini Bottom\
Inside that folder at the end of the path is a bunch of files that make up this clothing pack. You will need to remember that.
Load up vam, working in desktop mode is easiest, then select the package builder. Select add directory and select the Jakuubz folder. Once that is select it will show up in your package builder tool. Check the box next to the folder, then put in a name for the package, preferably the one with the creators name and other info following meshedvr's guidelines for naming would be ideal here, then click prep package and if all checks good you can finalize package. If you get errors you'll need to square those away first.
My issue has been i was putting these packages in another folder outside of vam and going to it and it was erroring out and just not working. I didn't realize it ALREADY HAD TO BE IN VAM TO BEGIN WITH!! I guess that makes sense in a way but at the start of this there was nothing i could find that said this! So hope this helps others out and makes the process a bit easier for others.
