I created a basic Third Person template project. Is it possible to add the Variant content: Combat, Platforming, Side-Scrolling to this project, or do I need to create a new project and include the variant content from the beginning?
Hello @aobrien1025 ,Welcome to the forums!
When you create a Third Person project with Variant: None, it simply generates the basic version of the template. If you want to add more content later, you can do it from the Content Browser. Click Add (+) and select Add Feature or Content Pack…; this opens the window where Unreal allows you to import content from other templates directly into the current project.
If those variants do not appear as Feature Packs (which can happen depending on the engine version, for example in 5.6), another option is to create a new project with the variant you want and then migrate the assets and Blueprints to your current project
Hope it helps!
