    Why "Network Helper" when you use "Join via new instance" spawns default Player Controller with higher body size?
    NO CUSTOM SCRIPTS, somehow they even change skin color randomly

    I'd guess this is related to your own customized terry. When joining with a new instance, you're connecting with your own Terry, different from the default Terry the editor uses. To confirm check if your customized Terry is taller and paler. :)

    Check out the video on https://sbox.game/straightgas/sewersynergies/
    There you can see 2 different sized Terrys playing the game without issue. They are only taller in cosmetic way. I have problems with syncing the clothes though.

    I saw this problem only when i tried to snap a "gun" in first person to the model's hand, it looks different. I like the way it moves smooth with position on normal size, but brakes on other instance of the game.
    Just want to know if i have to change a way how i do it, or its gonna work fine with other people playin it.

    upd: in shooter mechanics its important to make models same size to be fair)

    I'm afraid I can't help you. 🙁
    I agree that the size of the models is important in PvP, especially in Shooters.
    Maybe you can force the height of all Terrys with PlayerController.BodyHeight. 🤔

    btw PlayerController.BodyHeight is somehow the same (72)
