[Resolved] Genesis M4/V4 shapes no longer showing up under Actors...

Joe827

I rebuilt my computer a couple weeks ago and just noticed that the M4/V4 shapes I'd purchased no longer show up under Genesis' "actors" property in the parameters tab.  I uninstalled/reinstalled them via Daz Install Manager.  Still nothing.  I checked the installation path, and I don't see anythig fishy.  I can see Michael 4 and Victoria 4 installed with the rest of the genesis morphs (see attached image).  Any ideas?

What is the actual content directory?

I believe it is F:\DAZ 3D\Studio3

The problem is there's an extra "Content" folder - the path is F:/Daz 3D/Studio3/ but the files are in F:/Daz 3D/Studio3/Content/ - DS will see the user facing files OK, so you can double-click them, but it won't find the Data folder. Everything n the F:/Daz 3D/Studio3/Content/ folder needs to be moved up a level, to F:/Daz 3D/Studio3/

Oh good god.  I should have seen that.  What I wound up doing is changing the content directory to F:/Daz 3D/Studio3/Content/ .  I wasnt sure what moving all the files up one level would impact my content DB categories.

The database uses relative paths, so eithernwould have the same effect. Just make sure you don't know have both the Studio3 and the Content folders set as content directories as that can cause issues.

Thank you Richard.
