MetaHuman Creator not showing in folder after install in 5.6

Hello! I need a bit of troubleshooting help with an issue I’m running into.

  1. I installed Unreal Engine 5.6.
  2. After installation, I added the MetaHuman data.
  3. Then I enabled all required plugins.
  4. I restarted the project.
  5. When I right-click in the Content Drawer to add a MetaHuman Creator, only the Capture Data appears—no MetaHuman creator option.
    Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Yeah, I’m having trouble actually finding it inside of Unreal 5.6 … still can’t open MC without creating a new metahuman.

Yeah I guess it’s simply not supported on MacOs, very dissapointing. Would have been nice to see that somewhere in the patchnotes.

Same problem here, I can only see a couple of the Metahuman menu items. Mac OS 15.5, Mac Studio. Very annoying and disappointing!

Same. It doesn’t seem to be available on mac. I’ve submitted tickets and tried asking in support chat but can’t get an answer at all. Very disappointing that they didn’t even address it in the release notes, even to tell us they’re working on it.

Any workaround for this, until an official support is in place ? I can’t even create a meta human on the web for version 5.6. This was possible until version 5.5. I used to create a meta human on the web and download and install in UE macos. Is there any way it’s possible on a Mac ?

actually retracting my last post, found via a diff tutorial if I hovered over the 5.6 launch button I can see install options and I see the data install option I was missing not sure if that is there in mac

It’s there for mac, but it doesn’t make any difference, the menus are absent whether MH Creator Core Data is installed or not.

Yeah, this is a bug. MBP M3-MAX, everything installed correctly and verified, reboot, relaunch, context menus have entries for data and also for clothes under advanced, but can’t make a metahuman.

It works, with menus as expected (slow AF, but it works) on my windows computer.

Is it a verified bug or have they simply not released it fully on mac? Because it’s not addressed anywhere in documentation one way or another and they won’t answer tickets.

exactly alike!

What’s odd is that the metahuman plugins do show up and can be enabled. Without enabling them, no metahuman entry in on the menue at all. But as others report there are several choices under metahuman, but no creator.

Same here. Can install and enable everything, but the only the capture menu items appear in the content browser. Mac.
