Hi! Is character appearance customization allowed/or possible wiith Creator Economy? I’ve seen ways of importing a character design from a third party software, but not sure if that’s an official way to do it, and I don’t want Fortnite to shut down my game because of messing with mechanics. Thank you

Hello Violetrun, Welcome to the Forums.

Currently it’s possible to customize appearance by [attaching meshes with Niagara](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alJFj42ms9w).

As for importing full characters: you can import skeletal meshes with animations for NPCs ([community video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkSe-ZrAVI) showing how to build on pre-existing skeletons)

Good luck!
