HumanoidDescription doesn’t work with StarterCharacter. Ive seen multiple posts with solutions saying that HumanoidDescription is the way to go.

My character is basically just a modified R6 and it works great when adding shirts and pants manually.

--Keep in mind that this is just the basic copy and paste script from the HumanoidDescription System article.
game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	local humanoidDescriptionForUser = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(491243243)
	-- Spawn character with the HumanoidDescription
	player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(humanoidDescriptionForUser)
end

-- Connect "PlayerAdded" event to "onPlayerAdded()" function
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

I think LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription was made for R6 / R15 rigs only. You may have to use a different method.

Do you know of any other methods?

You could use HumanoidDescription but then apply it manually using the properties of HumanoidDescription | Roblox Creator Documentation
