that's what's bad, it doesn't load all the dependencies, which makes it useless(
once you config your most important vars to aways load, you just have to choose wich ones you gona use each day.

The problem is some creators don't declare the correct dependencys and you have to search for them. If the dependency is declared and youre using the plugin UI, than it should work. Without knowing the scene, is hard to give any advice.

And before using you should click to uninstall all vars so that the plugin moves everything to the all packages folder.

oh and I didn't click delete all variables(( could that have played a role?

Please just tell me if I'm doing it right:
- whenever I download a scenes or looks pack, I dump them into my AddonPackages dir, sometimes just in the root, sometimes in some subfolders (with sub-sub folders) to try to keep things organized and have a quick way to delete a pack if I don't like it.
- I launch VAM and scan for missing dependencies and download them, using the built in
- then check for updates, again using the built in function
- on to the scene browser, I can filter for authors in the top right corner, usually no issues here
- from within the scene, I open the edit menu (U -> E) and after selecting the correct asset person, I load the look I want to use (Appearence presets -> Select existing)

here's what the problem lies: for some reason I have a very hard time accessing all the looks that are in the var directory. If I chose the "flatten" view in the green "shortcuts" pan on the left several are missing, and even using the creator filter only shows less results for the creators. Even the creator list itself is shorter than it should be.
Putting a serch string in the top right corner of the right pane (same as in the scene browser) sometimes also yelds no results or only a few.

This is driving me nuts, any hint will be much appreciated!

its because appearance presets are not same as scenes, they are both different things. a Look you downloaded from vamhub can have a few things, a scene, or an appearance preset or both.
the author could be lazy and just include scene only. the scene will have the look and everything, but if you actually want to load this same look in other scenes you have to create an appearance preset yourself. sometimes authors also include appearance preset with the scene, those are the ones you saw earlier.

Thanks for the clarification, makes sense. The funny thing is that I struggle to see all the looks too... I'm not talking about scenes, presets or such, but "looks var" downloaded as such from here, that should contain the model only. I have the file, but doesn't show up.

Check the content of the file then (the *.var file it's just a ZIP archive, which can be opened). If it contains...
  • files in the saves/scene subdirectory
    • you should find a scene that you can open/load
  • files in the saves/person/appearance subdirectoy
    • you should find a "Look" preset, which you can import by using the "Load Look" button onto an existing character
  • files in the saves/person/full subdirectory
    • you should find an "Appearance" preset, which you can import by using the "Load Appearance" button onto an existing character
  • files in the saves/person/pose subdirectory
    • you should find a new "Pose" that can be loaded by using the "Load Pose" button onto an existing character
Hope that helps.
