All G8F figures loading Charlotte 8

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I've tried searching for this, but it's proving difficult to find the right search terms.

My G8F characters have been looking somewhat off/distorted to my eye, and I've finally nailed down why - almost any G8F figure I load is also loading the Charlotte 8 morphs at the same time. "Almost any" here means the base model, Daz Originals, characters based on the Daz originals, PA G8F characters, and even the one G8F character I have from another store - the only G8F models that don't are my own saved character presets.

What's really stupid is that this is happening even after I've even tried uninstalling Charlotte 8 to reset whatever might be happening - she's not even supposed to be installed right now, but her shape is still loading onto nearly every G8F character.

Now I've spotted this, I could fix it manually every time I load a model, but I'd really like to not have to do that. What do I have to do to fix this properly?

    If she's still loading after uninstalling, you've accidentally saved an extra copy with a non-zero default value somewhere. Locate the file and delete it. And, check the folder the file is in - there may be other unwanted things there you haven't noticed.

    I don't understand what you mean by this. (I'm not an experienced Daz user, by any means - I've mostly used other programs in the past). What is it I'm supposed to have copied, and how might I have even done so? Otherwise I have no idea where to even start looking.

    In Windows (or Finder if you're a Mac user), search for "Charlotte". Somewhere in [your content directory]/data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/[something], there will be a copy of one or more of Charlotte's morphs that accidentally got created when you were trying to do something else. This is what you need to delete.

    I had a similar problem several years ago with the original Genesis. I'm still not sure how it happened, but I had somehow managed to create an extra copy of every single morph I owned, with a few of them dialed up.

    Hitting SAVE won't do any of this, it'll only save a scene file.

    Blarg. Eventually tracked it down.

    I have a SSD/HDD drive set-up in this machine, using the SSD for programs and the HDD for bulk data. As far as I'm concerned, my library is on the HDD, but DAZ thinks it also has a library on the SSD, so it took me sometime to realise where the offending files were.
    Anyway, I've deleted the files, then slapped Daz, moved everything it thought was funny to put on the SSD and told it that it's definitely not a library.

    It seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
