Help with loading the character model effectively

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for an effective way to load a character with more specification than LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription() provides. I’m trying to achieve something similar to what games like Deepwoken have, where when you join the game and press continue, your custom character loads in with exact accessories and everything. I currently use this and I feel like it’s rather ineffective so I’m wondering how I could improve it to and make it so when a player dies, they respawn with the same values, all help is appreciated.

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local dataStore = DataStoreModule.new("Player", player.UserId)
	dataStore.StateChanged:Connect(stateChanged)
	stateChanged(dataStore.State, dataStore)
	
	local skinColor = RacesInfo[dataStore.Value.Race].SkinColor.Value
	local humanoidDesc = Instance.new("HumanoidDescription")
	humanoidDesc.HeadColor = skinColor
	humanoidDesc.TorsoColor = skinColor
	humanoidDesc.LeftArmColor = skinColor
	humanoidDesc.RightArmColor= skinColor
	humanoidDesc.LeftLegColor = skinColor
	humanoidDesc.RightLegColor = skinColor
	player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(humanoidDesc)
	local character = player.Character
	character.Parent = workspace.Live
	local pants = Instance.new("Pants")
	local shirt = Instance.new("Shirt")
	pants.Parent = character
	shirt.Parent = character
	shirt.ShirtTemplate = "myShirt"
	pants.PantsTemplate = "myPants"
end)

Im led to believe they do it the same as we do, but im most likely wrong

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
			local Characterr = Player:LoadCharacter()
			local Character = Player.Character
			local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

			if not Humanoid:IsDescendantOf(game) then
				Humanoid.AncestryChanged:Wait()
			end

			Character.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None

			if Humanoid then 
				local descriptionClone = game.ServerStorage.HumanoidDescription
				descriptionClone.Head = 0
				descriptionClone.HeadColor = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Skin"))
				descriptionClone.LeftArmColor = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Skin"))
				descriptionClone.LeftLegColor = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Skin"))
				descriptionClone.TorsoColor = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Skin"))
				descriptionClone.RightArmColor = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Skin"))
				descriptionClone.RightLegColor = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Skin"))
				Humanoid:ApplyDescription(descriptionClone)
				Humanoid.MaxHealth = Player.stats:GetAttribute("MaximumHealth")
				Humanoid.Health = Player.stats:GetAttribute("MaximumHealth")
			end


			Character.Head:FindFirstChildOfClass("Decal"):Destroy()
			local face = game.ReplicatedStorage.CharacterLoader.Faces:FindFirstChild(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Face")):Clone()
			face.Parent = Character.Head
			for i,v in pairs(face:GetChildren()) do
				v.Parent = Character.Head
			end
			face:Destroy()
			local hair = game.ReplicatedStorage.CharacterLoader.Hairs:FindFirstChild(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Hair")):Clone()
			hair.Parent = Character
			hair.Handle.Color = Color3.fromHex(Player.stats:GetAttribute("HairColour"))
			local armour = game.ReplicatedStorage.CharacterLoader.Armour:FindFirstChild(Player.stats:GetAttribute("Armour")):Clone()
			armour.Parent = Character
			for i,v in pairs(armour:GetChildren()) do
				v.Parent = Character
			end
			armour:Destroy()
