Having trouble with 3rd party files

Hello,

I am having trouble installing third-party files, especially character and bundle files.

I have tried installing the files using DazContentInstaller, but to no avail. When I load a character/figure, it states an error stating missing files. More so textures for those characters. I have checked the file and they do contain the texures for the characters so unsure why they are not loading.

I understand there are quite a few forums like this on here but I thought I would post the problem specific to my issue. Also is there any way to make 3rd party files appear in Smart Content? I find it a pain to keep trying to find my files in Content Library. 

Also need a suggestion on the best method to clean up and organise my directory?

 

Thanks in Advance!

I am having the same issue, but some of my files are from third-parties like MDCreations, I have tried using DazContentInstaller but the character figure loads but no textures are found. I have checked the folder where the character is contained and the maps are there but for some reason Daz wont load the files, It just gives me a white or grey figure.

Also would there be a way to add these files to 'Smart Content', its a pain having to search for the files in Content Directory.

 

Thanks in advance.

Merged as it made more sense for it to be in their own thread.

You need the Data folder (if there is one), the Runtiem folder, and any othr folders at the same level of the zip (such as people) in the content diectory you use - e.g. \Daz 3D\Studio\My Library in your Documents folder), where they will merge with the exising folders of the same name (for Windows users, Mac users will need to work with the sub-folders within those that are not already preset).
