Do I really need to buy teen Josie 7 to use another character?

I would like to purchase the Tamara Character, but when I click on add to cart, it shows that Teen Josie 7 is a required product. Does anyone know why it is required or if I can use it without Teen Josie 7?

It allows me to buy it without Teen Josie, but are there any benefits to buying Tamara and Josie or any reason why it would be better to buy both?

I appreiciate any information or help you are able to give me.

It will not look the same if you don't use the Teen Josie character but it can indeed be used without. It is optimised for Teen Josie.

To expand on what Chohole said, characters that show a Daz Named figure as a requirement are using that figure's shape morph to some extent. The product page won't say how much.

Which product are you looking at? If I have her, I'll do a quick render of her without TJ7 dialed in.

Think of it this way ... When the artist created the morphs for Tamara, they started with Teen Josie 7. What you are buying is ONLY the changes that the artist made. As a simple example say they made her nose 0.1 cm wider.

When you apply Tamara without also owning Josie 7, the default Genesis 3 Female nose would get 0.1 cm wider, but since you didn't start with Josie's nose, it wouldn't look the same as the promo shots you saw for Tamara.

The figure shape won't look like the promos.  The materials will work the same though.  Here is her head without Teen Josie 7.
