Where is Genesis 8.1? SOLVED

Ok, so I finally took the plunge and updated my Daz Studio to the latest upgrade (4.15, I think?).  DForce seems to work, renders seem fine, it looks like things might be ok.  But here's my question - where are Genesis 8.1 Male and Female?  I installed the Genesis 8.1 Essentials and updated everything that wanted to be updated, but I don't have Genesis 8.1 in my Content Library or in my Smart Content.  Am I mixed up, and Genesis 8.1 overwrote Genesis 8 with no name change or something?  I thought we were supposed to be able to use both?

Also, I am not the best with computers.  So I didn't do anything special, I just used DIM to update (I don't use Connect at all).  

 

Edited to Update:

Uninstalling and then reinstalling the two Genesis 8 Starters Essentials fixed it.  Odd, but ok!

    Did you reinstall the starter essentials for G8? That's a good place to start. Then look in your figures area in smart content. In the content library, G8.1is in the same place as G8

    Download Genesis 8 Starter Essentials Female & Male:  the 8.1 ones are there.

    I also kind of took the plunge but retained 4.12 because transp maps won't work in volumetrics for 4.15 and some key plug ins that I rely on a lot:  Measure Metrics and ManFriday's dForce don't appear in D|S 4.15; I have to re-dock them in 4.12 whenever I open 4.15.

    Hth!

     

    Edit:  too late laugh  I only download manually, fwiw

    I had to uninstall and reinstall the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials before I actually saw the base Genesis 8.1 figures in my Smart Content pane.

    (It's kind of inconsistent that way.)

    Perfect, uninstalling and reinstalling the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials did the trick.  Very weird that that was neccessary, but hey, if it works it works.

    Thank you very much, everyone!
