its because appearance presets are not same as scenes, they are both different things. a Look you downloaded from vamhub can have a few things, a scene, or an appearance preset or both.
the author could be lazy and just include scene only. the scene will have the look and everything, but if you actually want to load this same look in other scenes you have to create an appearance preset yourself. sometimes authors also include appearance preset with the scene, those are the ones you saw earlier.
Thanks for the clarification, makes sense. The funny thing is that I struggle to see all the looks too... I'm not talking about scenes, presets or such, but "looks var" downloaded as such from here, that should contain the model only. I have the file, but doesn't show up.

I have the file, but doesn't show up.
Check the content of the file then (the *.var file it's just a ZIP archive, which can be opened). If it contains...
  • files in the saves/scene subdirectory
    • you should find a scene that you can open/load
  • files in the saves/person/appearance subdirectoy
    • you should find a "Look" preset, which you can import by using the "Load Look" button onto an existing character
  • files in the saves/person/full subdirectory
    • you should find an "Appearance" preset, which you can import by using the "Load Appearance" button onto an existing character
  • files in the saves/person/pose subdirectory
    • you should find a new "Pose" that can be loaded by using the "Load Pose" button onto an existing character
Hope that helps.

Oh thanks. Just started playing it. How to add animations to the scenes? I can't seem to make head or tail out of the Animation option
here are plugins for animation - pose manager and auto thruster are suitable for beginners to make quick animation, timeline is for more advanced users)

If you create the scene yourself, then I gave you links to plugins above. If you are a beginner, then for now I advise you to download a couple of scenes from the hub from other users and see how it works! At the same time, the authors with most of their plugins provide a demo scene so that the user can see how the plugin works) You can download someone else's scene but replace the characters in it with your own, the main thing is to look at the character's name should be "person" if in the scene it is called differently, rename it to person by clicking on the name)

Are there any plugins wherein the light controllers would look like this? It's hard to see where the light's aiming at.

So is any legends out there going to pay for the new Voxta.AI stuff (AI girl that you can apparently talk to and have conversations
with even telling her to do things and she'll do them and it's all supposed to go hand in hand with virt-a-mate so you get Voxta.AI behaviour while doing lewd virt-a-mate things) I've been seeing getting more popular recently?

Please just tell me if I'm doing it right:
- whenever I download a scenes or looks pack, I dump them into my AddonPackages dir, sometimes just in the root, sometimes in some subfolders (with sub-sub folders) to try to keep things organized and have a quick way to delete a pack if I don't like it.
- I launch VAM and scan for missing dependencies and download them, using the built in
- then check for updates, again using the built in function
- on to the scene browser, I can filter for authors in the top right corner, usually no issues here
- from within the scene, I open the edit menu (U -> E) and after selecting the correct asset person, I load the look I want to use (Appearence presets -> Select existing)

here's what the problem lies: for some reason I have a very hard time accessing all the looks that are in the var directory. If I chose the "flatten" view in the green "shortcuts" pan on the left several are missing, and even using the creator filter only shows less results for the creators. Even the creator list itself is shorter than it should be.
Putting a serch string in the top right corner of the right pane (same as in the scene browser) sometimes also yelds no results or only a few.

This is driving me nuts, any hint will be much appreciated!
I'd like to follow up on mu own post because, thanks to the assistance received here and to further investigation, I was able to figure it all out!

Some looks developers release their work as scenes, even if the scene contains nothing else than the person itself. This results in VAM not displaying them when loading a appearance preset during a scene. The simplest solution I've found is to install JayJayWon Browser Assist (which is awesome for many reasons!) and use its import feature to extract the appearance from the scene. After that you'll be able to load it in any other scene!

Hope this will prove useful to other newcomers!
