All clothing morphs installed in My Library/data folder don't show up or work at all. Please help!

I've installed quite a lot of addons to the My Library folder.

Although almost everything shows up in the "Content Library" tab and work fine, any clothing morphs that are installed to "My Library/Data" do not show up. I've tried reinstalling the morphs to "My Library/Content/data" (since that data folder does seem to show up in the software) but the morphs don't work there either.

 

Here's what the files look like in my content library - https://i.gyazo.com/3f86cedfa62c6a1bb43497a9a5d77bdb.png

Trying to apply them to anything doesn't work.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

The data folder holds the asset files used by the content and is not meant to be visible to the user. If you remove it from Content and place it back in My Library then the morphs will load with the clothing, though if they are matching morphs on the base figure they will probably be hidden in the property lists as they are applied automatically - you can turn on Show Hidden properties in the Parameter pane's option menu, the lined button in the top corner or right-click the tab.

Thanks for the response! I'm a bit of a newbie so forgive my dumb (possibly nonsensical) questions -

 

How are the morphs applied automatically if there's multiple choices for each piece of clothing you can supposedly choose between? For instance, I've put the data back in the my library folder from content but I can't find any of the morph presets for said clothing, despite them being listed as a key feature of the product. Do I still have to morph them myself or find them somehwere else?

Morphs themselves are not whats known as User Facing Files.  If the package includes presets to apply the morphs they will appear in the Content Library and if they have metadata in Smart Content.  For future reference if you can see either the "data" or "Runtime" folder in Content Library you have either installed wrong or set the path in Studio's Content Directory Manager wrong.

If the morphs are matching a shape for the base figure (e.g. Victoria 8) then they will apply to the clothes without any action on your part when you aply the Victoria 8 shape to the Genesis 8 Female wearing the clothes. The same is true for shapes that match shapes from the morph packs. other morphs, such as adjustments or perhaps morphs for the base figure that you don't hae installed, will appear in the parameters or Shaping panes when you have the clothing item selected in the scene.
