Hi!
In this video I will show you how to add a custom morph target to a metahuman head in blender, so you can build your own customizable RPG character based on it. All LODs will be preserved which is important, cause built in LODs are well optimized.

Script for correct LODs order:
###################################################
import bpy


objects = bpy.context.selected_objects
objects = sorted(objects, key=lambda x: int(x.name[-1]))
print(type(objects))
for object in objects:
name = object.name
object.name = name + '_outdated'
mesh_name = object.data.name
new_object = bpy.data.objects.new(name, object.data)
bpy.context.collection.objects.link(new_object)
