Given that Online Community features are disabled in-game, but there's an option during the Character Creation to "Browse" character Presets (other than the default 6-8), I have a question:

If I download a Char Preset that somebody else created & exported (downloaded as a file with extension *.character), is there a way for me to insert the file somewhere in the game directory, so that I can use this character?

(I completely suck at creating non-ugly characters, so I have to rely on somebody else's work to make my Playa/Boss/PotUS look even remotely passable.)
Back when the community tab was still a thing (on Steam version), I had about 10 different characters queued through my profile, and those were downloaded/stored locally - I didn't have to reconnect to SR.com to re-download those ever time I started New Game.

Is there a possibility to do the same thing with current GOG version of SR IV? And if yes, then how?

Thanks in advance!

No, not possible.
The saintsow website that allowed that is long gone. There exists a offline emulation for the server, but that won't work for the GOG versions, since the online functionality of those has been cut out completely (originally it required a Steam account linked to a Saints Row account, they never created some thing like that for GOG accounts).

In SR3 at least they removed the according buttons, but SR4 still has them - and crashes, when you click them.
