Kids 4 - Base & Morphs issue

Jazzy

I've looked at this issue for weeks now in hopes of finding a resolution in the forums, the associated files, even submitting a trouble ticket - nothing thus far.  In Feb 2016, I purchased the Kids 4 Base and The Kids 4 Morphs++ (along with a host of Kids 4 addons over a period of time).  However, those two initial files only appear as a caution/warning icon in DAZ Studio. The info tab does not indicate any meta data or artist details.  I've deleted and reinstalled the files several times, nothing...

What am I missing?  I have not been a regular user of the products/tools here at all.  I'm now back over in the saddle to accomplish some new projects, but I am stuck.  The Kids 4 piece was something that was core to the efforts I am working on now that I cannot seem to get around.  Does anyone have any insight?  I've already gone well beyond my deadline for completion of the current project, but I am still hopeful I can somehow work through this soon - especially given the investment of $$ for supplemental products.

If this is a straight newbie part 2 thing, I don't mind having that pointed out to me as well.  (Requesting to update the metada does nothing as well.)

Thanks in advance!

Nothing changed in regards to the ability to create a character using the asset at all.

Is there a way to "fix" the Create date/time stamp and the Modified date/time stamp? I'm guessing that this could be a possible reason for why these items are not working:

Can you load the Kids4 Base character? As jetsmart said it's found in your content library/Poser formats/figures/DAZ People. Double click on the K4 icon to load the character. Then select the character in the scene tab and go to content library/Poser formats/pose and find materials (mat poses) and body morphs/poses if you have installed additional K4 content. Stuff for K4 won't show in smart content unless you create metadata for the files. There are tutorials for that I think, but all your K4 stuff should be in your content library/poser formats. Hope this helps;)

Based on the file paths that were provided before and what you have, I did not have what you guys were mentioning.  I went back in and found another location under Poser Formats that did allow me to finally get this character into the scene.  Just in case anyone else has the same issue, my files were located under Poser Formats/My DAZ 3D Library/Figures/DAZ People.

I've attached the screenshots of my mapping.  Again, I appreciate the help you guys provided that kept sending be back on these hunts to really find this other location to get this moved into the scene.

Oh good you found your stuff, and sorry I forgot to add the "My DAZ 3D Library" to the path. Happy rendering!
