You can use autofit either directly if you have the required clones, or indirectly doing "step by step" conversions (V4 to G1 then convert result from G1 to G2F then convert result from G2F to G3F, for example).
Autofit M4/V4 to Genesis AND Autofit Genesis to Genesis 8
Sorry - I'm sure this is a really basic question but could someone spell this out a little more please? Should I first load a Genesis figure into the scene instead of my Gen 8 figure, and then...?
With Genesis selected load the Victoria 4 clothing - a dilaogue box should open, if not make sure the clothing is fitted to Genesis. In the dialogue set the original figure to be Genesis. Now take that item and change its Fit to parameter to Genesis 8, when the dialogue opens select Genesis as the original figure and optionally set a clothing type.

Thanks.
Load both Genesis 1 and Genesis 8. Select Genesis 1 and then load the Victoria 4 clothing item - a dialogue box should open. In the dialogue box it says "What Figure was the Item Originally Designed For" and a drop-down menu - select "Victoria 4" from the menu. Once the clothing item is loaded onto Genesis, right click on the clothing item and select: "Fit "Clothing Name Here" To..." Then Select "Genesis 8" (make sure "Parent to Target" is checked), when the dialogue box opens again and says "What Figure was the Item Originally Designed For", this time select "Genesis".
The clothing item should then be on Genesis 8. Once it's on you can select Genesis 8 and save it as a "Wearable Preset" if you want (that way you can load it again onto Genesis 8 without having to first load it onto Genesis).
Be warned though, this is not a "perfect" method for transferring V4 clothing to G8 and sometimes the results can be a little "off". Though adding a smoothing modifier can sometimes help with that.
Autofit is free, yes, but Autofit strips out bones in the process. This means that things with handles? Like... dresses with flowy lower parts, loincloths, etc. Those handles go away, and you're left with the morphs only (if they exist).
SickleYield's product has templates that will include common bones and such for common types of clothing. If this is not important to you, then regular Autofit is fine, but there are reasons for other products.

For direct conversion you have those products:

(I cannot speak to other autofit helpers.)
