Trying to use Genesis 8 UV Swap *SOLVED*

I'm trying to use Genesis 8 UV Swap: Male and Female Base to put the textures from Frosty and the Matchstick Man HD for Genesis 8 Male(s) onto Genesis 8 Female.  But no matter which "Apply UV" button I press, I end up with a jumbled mess (see image).  I can't find any kind of readme for this product, either.  Could someone who has used this help me out with a quick walkthrough please?  I'd really appreciate it!

 

EDIT - Apparently, you can't use the UV Swap product with the Frosty and Matchstick product, because the UVs are some proprietary thing.  So I'm going to have to use the Transgender Shapes product to get a feminine version of the product.

    Frosty and Matchstick don't use Base Male UV. They use something called "XNormals G8M". UV Swap won't work with that because it doesn't know what XNormals G8M is. UV Swap only works with Base Male and Base Female UVs.

    Seriously?!  Well shoot, that was the whole reason I got the Frosty and Matchstick set, so that I could put them on females.  Oh well, I think I only paid a couple bucks for them.  Do you know, if I were to get the Transgender Shapes for Genesis 8, to make G8M look more feminine, if that would work?  Or would the XNormals thing mess that up, too?

    No, the XNormals thing only relates to the UVs and not the shapes. If you make G8M look more female, then you should be able to use Frosty and Matchstick without any UV issues. That said, I don't know how all the bits and pieces -- the geografts and attachments -- will look, since they're not designed for female shapes. Should be OK-ish, but I can't say for certain.

    Ok, cool, thank you very much!  The bits and pieces are just conforming props, I've already tried them and they work fine on G8F, so they would probably be ok on a Trans G8M.  Guess I'll have to put this render on the backburner for a bit until I can get the Transgender Shapes.  Thanks again for all your help!

    Actually, Transgender Shapes is on sale right now, I guess I'll go ahead and bite the bullet and pick it up.
