Just bought Mei Lin pro bundle. Get this error on load in.
Anyone else see this?
The figure DOES load in after this popup.

Considering that I do have the Growing Up morphs, but I do NOT have teen Josie...
Errors consist of a few hundred entries like this one:

And then these:

Nooooo,
This is too much like the second error I got in this thread.

Hope they can sort it out for you like they did for me.
Edit - I do have Mei Lin 6. It loads fine for me without the errors you are getting.
Edited.
I have no head size file that I can find thus far. But I did find a head smaller file, and in fact what appears to be a whole duplicate folder.
I think this might be my problem somewhere.
Maybe.
FIXED.
Deleted both folders up there, and re-installed the growing up for G2F.
Your growing up product by the way - has to be one of my favorite morph kits in well... the last 14 years... One of those things I've always wished I had the ability to do with my figures, and assumed I never would, until I saw you'd made that kit, bought it thinking "this will probably look horrible when I pose the figure or try on clothing" except it didn't - it worked wonderfully.
- I consider it one of the better buys I've made since coming back to this hobby.
Yes sorry lol, that is the file name..Head smaller not head size %-P And thanks for the kind words:) Glad you like the product:)
The failures to find Josie are benign - they just mean that the morph set being loaded has corrective morphs that work with Josie, since you don't have the thing they are correcting they won't do anything and aren't needed (but they need to be reported in case the failure to find the link is due to a naming problem on something that should work).
I am getting the same errors when I load in Belle.

Do I need to uninstall Belle and reinstall to fix this?
No, you need to uninstall and reinstall the Growing Up products.
Uninstall may not work, since you've clearly installed the update. Do the uninstall, so DIM thinks it's not there any more (assuming you use DIM), then manually delete the /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 2/Female/Morphs/Zev0/Growing Up/ folder before reinstalling.
Uninstalled, removed folder and reinstalled, and duplicate formulas error is still present...
Did you make sure there wasn't another /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 2/Female/Morphs/Zev0/Growing Up/ in a different content directory?
Yeah. I only have one content directory.
Do you get the Duplicate IDs warning with growing Up completely uninstalled?
Nope, they do not show while it is uninstalled. Furthermore, the log says Growing Up files are the guilty ones.
You shouldn't be getting any duplicate ID issues if you cleared out the data folder where Growing Up is located and re-installed the product. The only conflict was the head morph that was left behind from the older version when you installed the updated one. But if you cleared that out and only installed the latest version, there shouldn't be any errors. Can you send me a screenshot of your data folder? EG data\Daz 3D\Genesis2\Female\Morphs\Zev0\Growing up
Sure enough, here you go.
I used the zip file downloaded through DIM as reference to check for any remaining files and folders, and I deleted them all. Still, the log file continues complaining about duplicate formulas in "Head Proportion.dsf" whenever I reinstall it.
Hmmm. I just did a manual download (not via DIM), and copied the files from there and I am not getting any duplicate error issues. This is strange.
If you completely uninstall Growing Up again are the morphs actually gone if you load the figure into DS?
Not to take this off topic, but I was remiss in not returning and posting that uninstalling (using DIM) and reinstalling Growing Up resolved my errors. Thank you Mike.
Yup, no trace of them.
Edit: After much consideration I decided to purge my entire runtime and reinstall everything from scratch. That finally did the trick, and now everything works as a charm. Too bad I'll never know what it was that messed things up though.
