MetaHuman Short Overweight female missing pose folder

I have tried reimporting the same asset and even a new asset with the same body type but no dice. heres a few pictures to help people know what i am talking about.

I think I had the same issue when I downloaded Medium Quality characters, some of which may be broken. If that’s the case, you can either download the Highest Quality ones instead, or, if you still want lower quality, you can add the HQ characters to an empty project and migrate the poses to your main one without overwriting any existing files in it.

I just downloaded all 3 qualities and everything is the same, they all don’t have the pose folder and the content. Has anyone managed to fix the problem?

How can we efficiently report this to Epic to fix?

Maybe I can use the poses and animBP of the same character but from version 5.1?

Edit: If anyone has this problem too, I managed to (apparently) solve it using the Poses folder and “f_srt_ovw_animbp” from version 5.1. Download a standard Metahuman that has this same body in a 5.1 project, and copy these files to your 5.3 project.

yikes same issue for me, short overweight female is the only one that is busted

SOLVED (After losing a day!)

The problem lies with the overweight not having the poses folder so it breaks the animation blueprint, like the NRM weight.

Copy the poses folder from the same sex and height to the overweight folder (MetaHumans/Common/Female/Short/Overweight

Make sure Advanced Renamer plugin is installed.

In the now copied poses folder, select all the item, right click and select Advanced Rename. In search and replace put nrw, then ovw in the lower box, apply.

Now the teadious bit!!!

Go to /All/Game/MetaHumans/Common/Female/Short/Overweight/Body

open the f_srt_ovw_animbp

you want to see the AnimGraph, if this isnt visible you can find it on the left hand side in the My Blueprint.

Now open a second animation blueprint from the poses folder you copied to the overweight, makes sure same sex and height.

with both Animation blueprint windows side by side. you can see in the f_srt_ovw_animbp that almost every box is red and compile error.

In the working blueprint click on a Pose Driver node (i recomend working top left to right to keep track.)

Once selected, under Settings (near bottom) look for Pose Asset,the file will be named like this example (f_srt_nrw_index_03_r_pose) click on the file, hit F2 to select the files full name, copy it, just the name and not the file!, In the broken window select the exact same Pose Driver Node, and click on the Pose Asset (none) this will open the selection window, just paste the name, change nrw to ovw and select the file that is now listed. Repeat for every red node. If you want to see which you have already done, just compile and it will correct the correct ones. Save often if complex Level can crash it, so blank Level, if do get a crash.

You should be able to retarget to the overweight metahuman.

Any problems message me and i’ll try and help.
