I was just playing around with a character I had bought awhile ago and it had an AO node on the skin shader which produced this result.  Looks pretty ugly, doesn't it?

I tried turning on my diffuse light which had AO turned on, and that helped a little, but it was far from perfect.  So short of yelling at the vendor or manually fixing every node on every save (and there are a ton of them because this vendor gives a lot of pose files with different options) do I have any more practical and quick options for getting rid of the unwanted AO nodes?

WARK!
