14. For clean-up and also to reduce the Rig file size, delete everything that is not needed. Including the Extras Control and all the Extras that are hidden.*Last note if the Customised Rig becomes very lag when moving the body around, go back to the original Rig file and set the geometry to Low quality display. Select the geometry and press 1 - Low quality display, 2 - Medium quality display, 3 - High quality display.

Wrapping clothes to 'Skin'
A new trick found by Justin Owens from Animation Mentor. If the clothes is wrapped to the body geometry when it is at Low Resoution, when switching to High Resolution the clothes will not work. That is because when selecting the body geometry during the wrap, the current visible body geometry selected is under 'aia_anim_geo_grp'. In order for the clothes to work in both High and Low Resolution, the clothes have to be wrapped to the body geometry under 'aia_skin_geo_grp' which is hidden. Follow steps below.
*If this is too complicated to do and there is no need to switch between High and Low Resolution then skip this method.
1. Open outliner
2. Select clothes
3. Find 'aia_skin_body_geo' and ctrl select it
4. Click option for 'Wrap'
5. Click 'Create'. (Make sure 'Exclusive bind' ticked)
