How to use the models from SFMLabs in general
I downloaded some models from SFMLabs because it has a lot of models that are not available on the official workshop, such as a good 2B or Spider-Gwen model. I have no desire to create explicit imagery using these models but I do want to use them regardless to make various wallpapers and personal projects.

But, it turns out that it is
PAINFULLY difficult to even use these models effectively as a beginner SFM-er. I don't know if I missed something in the description (which i already checked hundreds of time already) or if I'm just inexperienced, but they are extremely hard to use and wrap my head around.

For example, the Spider-Gwen model I downloaded has insanely large proportions. I can see the sliders that control the bodyparts UNDERNEATH the suit, but it leaves the the suit completely untouched, thus leaving Gwen with the same humongous proportions.

If there is anything I can refer to or any basic tips about handling these absolute headache-machines that spawn from the deep fiery jizzhole known as SFMLabs (no disrespect) PLEASE let me know. I just wanna use these darn models :'(

Don't generalize SFMLab like that. Some models are complicated, most notably NSFW ones with a lots of bones and sliders to adjust the body parts. Furthermore, there are almost a dozen of bodygroups that you can remove or change the cloth models on the character model.

In your case, I assume there aren't sliders to adjust the suit's proportions, just the body only. Not really surprising for an NSFW model.

You really can't do anything about it unless you hire someone to add the sliders on those suit bodygroup.

You either have to deal with this or look for similar model somewhere else like gmod and sfm workshops.

Welp, that sucks. Thank you for your help, though.

A more formal reply:
Sorry for doing that to SFMLab. I know there are a lot of great models, NSFW or SFW and that the creators put in a lot of effort in their work. I was just really mad at the time lol. Now that I'm *somewhat* more adept in SFM, I can see that that was the problem. :P

Thank you for your reply.
