Newbie question: what are the advantages of buying victoria 8?

LenioTG

I know this may seem a stupid question to many of you, but I'm a newbie, and I've not really understood what are the functions of Victoria 8.

If I buy her, do I get the autoretrocompatibility for all G8F characters? I mean, applying from "Smart Content" a pose/expression/piece of clothing for let's say G1/G2F/G3F/V4 etc. will give me no problems anymore?

Thank you, and sorry for the silly question! :D

Victoria 8 is a shape and materials for Genesis 8 Female, so yes everything remains compatible (though, as with any change to the shape, some poses may need adjustment and if a fitted item doesn't have its own Victoria 8 shape the auto-followed shape may not be ideal).

The backward compatibility comes from GF8 rather than Victoria 8.  Clothing for the Genesis characters mostly translates well, as do G3F expressions and poses (if you're willing to fiddle with the arms and legs).  Poses and expressions earlier than G3, though, take a few extra products to convert your way through.  Vicky 8 doesn't really improve or hinder that.  The big advantage of V8 is having a different body shape from the base G8F that almost all clothing for Genesis 8 will conform to without trouble, as nearly every content creator will include a body shape morph for Vicky.  Some purchased characters use her as a portion of their body shape as well, and though that can be said of all core characters, Victoria seems to be used more than others.
