Baboo missing 8.1 texture (FIXED)...it's just eyelashes.

Just a heads up... Baboo https://www.daz3d.com/baboo-for-genesis-8-and-genesis-81-female is advertised as both 8 and 8.1 but there is no texture for 8.1.
The only reference to 8.1 is a material preset for eyelashes (which just mangle the current eyelashes)

A material preset for Genesis 8 Female will apply to Genesis 8.1 Female. Supporting both doesn't mean there will be a second texture set for the new 8.1 UV set. The eyelashes, however, do sound like a possible issue.
I don't have that product, but usually when a product is advertised as working with both GF8 and GF8.1 it means that the texture set for GF8 can also be applied to GF8.1 since it comes with the legacy GF8 UVMap, not that the product comes with two texture sets for each figure. If you can apply everything to GF8, then it will work for GF8.1 also.
Thank you Richard i'll try to work out what the difference is between this and any normal gen 8 as i've never come across a gen 8 material preset which i couldn't apply to the 8.1 base... and i own a number of figures which come with a preset for both and was expecting the same here.
So i hear... when i can i'll take a look at how this differs from any gen 8, i know their seams differ around the head so maybe that's it although i can't remember it ever being an issue when i've applied gen 8 mats to 8.1 before.
The 8.1 eyelash preset works perfectly fine on 8.1 base... so as far as my understanding goes this is the only thing that differentiates this gen 8 from any other gen 8 figures which to be honest i'm fine with as the generic 8.1 lashes are a bit crazy having now had a closer look.
I think the point of saying it is 8 and 8.1 is just saying it works on both, not that it's specifically for both... some morphs for example will ONLY work on 8.1 and not on 8.... normally a character product will always use the base and most recent number, like Lady for Genesis 8.1.... and the 8 is just showing backwards compatibility instead of just 8.1 only. While there's a lot of nice updates to 8.1 some PAs are trying to reach the broadest range of buyers (I assume) by keeping things compatible to both.
Ugh! I would of much preferred a 8.1 version only of Baboo rather than a 8.0 version of Baboo.
Anyway, I've written a ticket because my PC+ coupon is not working to discount her. It's Oct 1 in my timezone, must I wait til Oct 1 in the DAZ 3D timezone? Shouldn't the DAZ Store server software be able to figure that out by now? It's like a Y2K bug 21 years later.
Anyway, I'll just wait til day light & try again.
Yes, I appreciate it when PAs support G8. Some of us for various reasons are not using the latest version of Studio but would still like to spend some money. ;-)
There have been several characters I was interested in but had to pass since they were 8.1 only. Actually, bought one (VO Rose) since I failed to notice it was only 8.1 before purchasing it. My bad. Eventually I'll be upgrading and will be able to use newer items but until then I hope that PAs keep us customers in mind.
I was in that same boat because of the many posts I saw that said 4.15 takes more resources, but I decided to try the beta version. Unfortunately the install was botched and it over wrote my existing version, BUT I gotta say it's working well and I find it even faster in iray preview mode than my previous version. I am now trying to only purchase 8.1 characters that use the new PBR and UVmapping, so i hope PAs start catering to that and listing the new UVMapping in the description
