Okay I jacked something up in my install so I reinstalled everything on 4.15. When I try to load Genesis 8 Male or Female I get this message.
Could not open file /People/Genesis 8 Female duff does not exist Error.
8.1 loads fine, and if I go to my file location I can double click on the Genesis 8 DSON user file and she loads that way but how can I fix it so I can load inside of daz studio. I have several 3rd party products that only work with G8 and I am afraid I just lost the ability to use them. Any help or solutions would be great.

You will probably get the magic question about how you installed since it sounds like a figure registration problem. In any case, start with reinstalling the Genesis 8 essentials which should give you a fresh clean Genesis 8 Female; it is a step that can;t hurt anything and I find fixes a lot of problems like autofit. If you are installing manually, bone up on where to put those .dsa and .dxf files.
Sorry I installed via the DIM. I uninstalled via DIM and Reinstalled and it still will not let me load the G8 figures but I can load G8.1. If I try to reinstall again should I go in and manually delete any folders regarding g8 that got left behind before trying to reinstall another time?
Also I should note when I looked in my smart content, G8 male or female does not show at all just G8.1
If you find the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials product in the Products tab of Smart Content, or the Products list in the Content Library, does it have a circled triangle icon at top-right of the Smart Content thumbnail, or a pale block at top-right of the container icon in the Content Library? I suspect not, indicating that the system thinks it was installed through DS - and in that case it will try to load those files, not the ones isntalled via DIM. If the icon/block is missing try right-clicking on the product icon/cotnainer and selecting Uninstall, then the DIM Install should work.
