For VtMB, where do you put PC skins in the GOG version? I have tried with a few clans with little to no success. As an example, I have tried the following directories with no effect for the Malkavian clan:
.\Unofficial Patch\materials\models\character\pc\female\malkavian\armor0
.\Unofficial Patch\models\character\pc\female\malkavian\armor0
.\Vampire\materials\models\character\pc\female\malkavian\armor0
.\Vampire\models\character\pc\female\malkavian\armor0
Now, the gangrel files I loaded to .\Vampire\models\character\pc\female\gangrel\armor0 had some .vtx files and this made the model disappear entirely. My understanding is those are basically new bones for the character, which it must have found those files but didn't load the new skins for them. This at least showed some sort of change.
If I load tremere skins I download into .\Unofficial Patch\models\character\pc\female\tremere\armor0 I see some changes. There were three files I had to backup/replace from the Unofficial_Patch, so I'm guessing it was looking in this folder because of the patch, but the same directory structure doesn't seem to work for other clans.
Any information on where I am suppose to load new skins would be greatly appreciated, as it seem to be different than directions provided for other version of this game.
Thanks!

Okay, I could not figure out how to reply to my own question so I am editing it. I figured out some of the skins I had apparently didn't work for some reason. I tried other malk skins (malk skins appear to be the easiest to find) and found they seem to work if I place them in the following directory:
.\Unofficial Patch\materials\models\character\pc\female\malkavian\armor0 (some skins have an armor1-3 as well)
Now I just have to figure out how to mark this question as answered... :-)
