Swamp Shack DS version

I am working off of a DIM install, so everything should be where the creator meant to put it. But when I try to load the DS textures for the swamp shack I get the message "Could not find file: SwmpMossDispDS.jpg" I did a search and I can't find this displacement map installed anywhere. When I couldn't find it in any of the zip files either. I know this is an old model, but if there is an easy fix, I would love to use it. Right now it is selling for $10, so I would hope it would work. Of course it is highly probably that I am doing something wrong.

    I don't have the item, but a few things to try:

    Report it as a content problem in case somebody can still fix it.

    You could try skipping the missing material and see if it still looks good enough to use. (Note that I think if you do this, it might remember you said that and stop asking until the next fresh OS install, so write down the missing filename so you can find it again later if you need to.)

    Is there a poser version of the product, and can you use that instead of the DS version? Maybe you'll get lucky and the error will only be in the DS half of the product. You may or may not need to adjust the poser materials to look better in DS.

    Is it possible the missing file is there and just named incorrectly? Look at other image files in the product, look at whatever is missing when you skip the missing material and load the product, see if there is an obvious match and try manually browsing to that file.

    Is the missing material generic enough that you could just slap some other product's material in it's place? For example it sounds like the material is moss, maybe if it's a flat surface you can find some other flat moss covered surface to substitute. Not very likely, but possible depending on what part of the object it is. Similarly, you might be able to apply a shader where the material is missing.

    It looks as if it is missing all of the displacement maps, which should probably be in the DSCF zip since they are unique to DS, and a reflection map. As Sean says, please report this as a content issue so that the zips can be updated.
