Trying to set up DAZ Studio

I haven't used DAZ in a few years. I updated DAZ Studio to 4.15 but none of my products I bought are showing up. I went to DAZ Central to Settings and then changed both the Base Location and the DAZ Studio install location. It still isn't working and now with DAZ Studio I can't connect to my account. I need to connect DAZ Studio to the My Library folder which has everything that I've bought. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    In the D|S preferences you can set your content folder locations.

    Where exactly is that? Is that in DAZ Studio or in DAZ Central?

    Daz Studio... I feel your pain by the way, tried to look into Daz Central yesterday myself (using sandbox mode). Let's just say that I wasn't impressed.

    Anyway, here's what you do:

    • In DS press 'F2' to get to your preferences; another option is using the 'Edit' menu.
    • Open the 'Content' tab, you'll find a button at the bottom: "Content Directory Manager...", click it.
    • Now you're in the management screen, from here you can point DS to your Poser, Daz en Daz connect libraries; both personal as system-wide (so: your user library and the system library).

    Hope this can help!

    Yes, I am now able to get to my products. Thank you. However, DAZ files that I've created are not showing up, and they are also in the My Library folder. Why are they not showing up? Please help!

    Just to rule out the obvious: did you add both folders to the screen I mentioned above?  Wait, I know... see my attachment for an example. So 'Daz Studio Formats' should point to both your system and user library. System is where Daz installs all its packages, but your user library is where you normally save your own stuff. Both need to be added to that directory manager.

    Did you have the correct library folder thy reside in added? Did you obey D|S folder conventions? Are you looking in the correct library?
