I managed to get it working but not sure what I did to get it working. The only real difference I made was turning off the Audo Hair LOD. Was that it?
As for the clothing, the problem I had was that I listened to youTube instructions, not the asset’s own instructiosn
On youtTube it said I had to create the folder: /Content/Outfits and install the downloaded outfit into there. This is wrong.
The asset itself tells you to create /Content/Outfits/techwearOutfit and install the downloaded outfit into there. THAT works.
I found other posts on this forum saying that the paths have to be exact, even that something as simplas not using English as your editor language can break the materials. So I tried removing the outpit and reinstalling into the correct folder and voila! All is right with the world now
