can't find file...

lumiasart

Hey everyone! I was hoping you could help me with something...
I was following a tutorial online about easily converting gen3 clothing to gen8 (I know the DAZ shop sells converters but money's tight right now). Anyway... I downleaded the pose from the tutorial and saved it where all my DAZ products are - a folder on my desktop. The problem is that I can't find the pose in my content library, it won't show up on my install or smart content panes and if I try to manually open it I get an error message saying "an error occured while reading the file, see the log file for more details" (the file is a .dson).

I tried contacting the person who posted the tutorial but no response yet. Here's the link:

Thank in advance! :)

As it is just the pose (and icon) file, you have to manually place it in the (pose) folder of your choice.

It is a pose-preset, and as such you 1st need to load and select g8f in the scene, and then apply the pose to it. The error you described is most likely because you clicked on the preset file without having g8f loaded and selected...

Not sure if I did it right but it seems to have worked... I left the pose in my daz folder (desktop) and added a g8f to the scene. Then I selected her and did file-merge chose the pose and voila! She's in the correct pose and the gen3 clothes fit her perfectly!
However... now when I move her to another pose - even with the clothes "children" to the gen8f - they stay in T pose =\

EDIT: Nevermind!! I'm an idiot! I told the clothes to auto-fit and they're great! Thank you so much for all the help! =D
