Yeah, for now I decided to mostly just use generic looking girls (although some of them do look good, but they're rare).
However, another problem I had using video game girl Looks was the hair. For most of them, the hair never loads, they're always bald. I did some research on that, the hairs are "separated" into another sort of Asset Bundle thing (another type of file, I think). But I have zero idea how to make them work, they never appear in the Hair category (or heck I checked into Clothing, still nothing there). When I load a scene WITH the hair (by the author), it's there, it loads just fine. But those scenes are never animated so I have no way to know if the hair would also animate (well, I mean would have physics). If the hair is "separate" from the character, then I assume if I moved the character in the scene, the hair wouldn't follow the head and would stay where it was.
So even when I did use my video game girls I wanted, I usually had to give them a completely new hairstyle that happens to be found in my Hair category. But of course almost none of them ever fit the original style. Things like this is a turn off enough for using game girls in general. Now I say this as if it was the end of the world but... SOME characters I downloaded do work fine (with the hair, I mean), but most of them don't, for some reason. There's also one particular Zelda version I found, from Skyward Sword (my personal favorite Zelda version). NONE of the ones I found can be fully naked, even though when I load the character in the scene I can see her naked before the whole textures stuff loads. Then some bra covers the breasts but that bra is nowhere to be found in my Clothing category (and her hair doesn't work, either, she's bald).
So yeah, with all the scaling / height / penis sizes issues, along with physics problems, or bald characters or clothing that can't be found... too much trouble to deal with. So for now... I focus on just using generic girls and I call it a night. It's a disappointment since I'm paying for a good bunch of the assets I'm using (Patreon stuff) but heh, whatever. Can't have everything. Besides, I read on some forums that VAM was actually updated LONG ago the last time, it didn't receive any major new features or quality of life improvements in many months apparently. Maybe there's still a long way to go before this program has more automatic stuff to help newcomers, because right now the learning curve is brutal, with way too many 'little things' to adjust left and right before a scene works fine.
