How to get 8.1 characters

I am sure I am missing something basic here; just downloaded the newest Daz (through Daz Central- still not sure what that does other than add a layer of complexity). How do I get to the base 8.1 characters? I was expecting them to be a category in "people" or within the "G8" folders but they are not. I also loaded a new G8M character through Daz Central and can't find that either- it is not in the G8M folder.

    You have to download and install the essential files that go along with the Daz Studio app, should be in your library along with the DS download. I never use central so can't help with that.

    Genesis 8 Starter Essentials provide the basic female/male figures for Genesis 8 and 8.1.

    If you are looking for Victoria or Michael, the core figures are sold seperately

    Thanks. It is the starter essentials i am trying to get. In previous upgrades that have appeared in DS, this time they have not. I never got the DS installer to work properly before so it may be that Daz Central still does not work, so I will have to manually install the starter pack (I prefer doing that as I know where everything is). Is there a way I can get at the starter essentials on their own rather that by installing all of DS through Daz Central, or at least manually downlaod DS and manually install avoiding Daz Central?

    Starter essentials packs are not part of DS install, they're separate files.

    If you want to install manually you'll find all the files in the "product library" section in "My account" https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files
