Does Josie conflict with anyone?

Doing a manual install of the new Teen Josie I came across a file called Victoria 6.dsf somewhere in the data directory under UV sets that was being overwritten by the installer. Normally I would just put this down as an updated file, but the new file is a lot smaller than the one it is replacing. It's less than a third of the original file size!

I have no idea what this files does. Does anyone know what sort of problems an incorrect file here could cause and what sort of problems I should look out for?

    She comes with V6 UV set. Its just a duplicate so should cause no conflict :)

    When you say "duplicate", it isn't a duplicate of the original file. It's the same filename in the same directory so it will replace the original but it isn't the same file. And losing over 60% of the original file size makes it looks as if it might remove some functionality.

    Interesting. I overwrote mine and everything is functioning exactly the same as before so if its not the same thing then Im not sure what it is. Most odd indeed.

    It could have been compressed version. I'm not sure if UV files compress but in morphs (dsf files) if you check 'compress file' the result comes non-editable gibberish that is noticeably smaller in size comparatively to non-compressed. Functions all the same, except you can't edit it manually.
    Maybe it is the same case?

    You're probably right. If I open the new file in an editor it is gibberish but the old one is text. I'm used to Poser which changes the file extension when it compresses files so you know what you are dealing with.
