MetaHuman Blueprint – Only hands and feet visible, missing body and head (Meshes problem)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling with a major issue in Unreal Engine 5.5.4 when importing MetaHumans.

When I add a MetaHuman to my scene, only the hands and feet are visible – the body, head, and hair are missing completely.

What I’ve already tried:

  • Manually creating a “Meshes” folder – didn’t work.
  • Adding another MetaHuman to pull missing files – didn’t work.
  • Using Migrate and manually copying files – no success.
  • Construction Script linking – no effect.

In the Blueprint, I also can’t link the full body because the Meshes folder doesn’t exist or is empty. In the Content Browser, there is no complete body, only hands and feet.

QUESTION: How do I force MetaHuman to fully load with all body parts? Why is the Meshes folder missing and how can I properly generate it?

Any help is appreciated – I’m really out of patience with this issue.

Thanks in advance!
