Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General Character visualsets not working right

I must be doing something wrong, i created a copy of the Root model, made a new folder and copied over all of the visual set, deleted everything i didnt want and assigned the visual set to the new model but it still doesnt work and it still has the leather armor and sword through its back even though i deleted all of that from the folder. Now im also getting a new issue where once i leave the character creation screen and start the game the screen just goes black and it says "you have no assigned character, the host should access character assignment from the game menu and assign a character to you".....im really bad at this haha
