Hello! I've been trying to make a preset since I first signed up for Last Moon, and despite tutorials and following them to a T I still cannot seem to get anything to work. I'm quite frustrated with it tbh. I'll try to list all my issues, so be warned, long post.
For the following images I'll try to explain and show what I want the preset to look like. This is for a oc based, and named, after New 52 Harley Quinn. So let's just call her Harley.
1: I cannot find what the right file size for the preset it. By this I mean the preset 'base' you get when you download the game for you to color over. I find the completed presets in the LM folder all have different file sizes. I started out with the blank base that was in the folder, only to discover it was too small. Thus the markings were 'pressed in'(if that makes sense) on the face, because the file is too small. I went and found the UVS, which are guidelines in of themselves. Spoiler alert; tracing over the UVS is somehow too big.
Can someone send me the right base file size for making presets? I need all of them, because all my presets don't fit the models.
Example- this is the result of using the blank preset head base that came in the game.
Notice the errors. The blue 'eyeliner' doesn't go around the eyes in the slightest. It's supposed to resemble thick eyeliner. I thought maybe this wasn't possible until I ran into a user with a preset that did this perfectly. Also notice the red eye shadow does not taper at the end. In fact the end ends up on the nose for some reason. It's supposed to resemble this
Notice the tapered ends. I'm not worried about the right(blue) side because her hair covers it.
This is a mock up of what I WANT it to look like in-game
Should also mention the stomach coloring: It doesn't go to the middle of the chest. It's only at the neck. Her stomach coloring stops in between her chest, or the 'breast'. It doesn't show up on the preset.
I mentioned I traced over the model UVS for this
Here's what I did
Here's the result
I do not know how to fix this.
Tl;dr - can anyone please send me a proper, actual will fit on the model blank preset base, and maybe label what goes to what on a separate file? Mine are either too big or too small.2: I cannot get the body type to match in testing.
If you look at the images above the test model has round ears and diff head shape. I want the final to have the head that comes with the pointed ears, as well as the pointed ears.
Is there a guide for the body types? I also do not know how to enter these into the 'preset' file. I've tried the tutorials with no luck. I don't know how to label the body types so this makes testing nearly impossible for me.
3: How do I get two different body sides to my preset?
I seen someone mention this that you have to put the coding in the preset/material file. How do I do this?
Harley is supposed to have three distinct tattoos:
A joke one ONLY on her left hip, but it appears on her right-

(stops above the thumb)
and a LEFT FROM LIMP TATTOO, example here-
Can anyone help me with this? Be greatly appreciated.
3: Issues with hair and tails
Is there a guide for how to properly do manes and highlights? I'm not to pissed about the man, but I'd prefer to know how to make edits, there isn't enough red and I do not know how to do highlights-
and her tail has white tips, despite no white on the file. I can only assume this has to do with wrong file sizes(again)
TLDR; Someone please send me the proper preset base size, help with coding double sides that are different, model numbers for testing, and where the colors gothanks ;_; i'm so fed up. I feel like I'll never figure this out.
