Hello all, I hope someone can shed some light on this issue I'm having please...?

I recently installed DAZ 3D and upon loading the Victoria 6 model realized that I am missing the ability to custom set the expressions. I used to have sliders that would manually adjust facial parameters but these are all missing.

I also have a set of preset expressions loaded but when I select the face and try to apply these expressions, nothing happens either.

Also something else I've noticed is that the morphing parameters are missing on the body so I am unable to adjust anything (height, weight, bust size etc.)

Does anyone know what could be wrong/I'm doing wrong?

The only difference (from the last time I had DAZ3D installed) is that I now have my Library pointing to another drive but this was set via the install manager on initial install so all configuration settings in DAZ 3D points to this directory for data.

Please help! This is driving me bonkers!!

    Wrong tab?

    I seem to find most expressions and morphs on either the Parameters or the Shapes tabs, not the Pose tab.

    You should have various extra groups listed on the left. How did you install - manually or via the Install Manager? Go to the folder you isntalled to - in the \Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 2\Female folder do you have a Morphs folder, with lots of sub-folders?

    Hello! Thanks for pointing me to the folder. I see it... with lots of other sub folders.

    I dug down further into Victoria 6 sub folder and saw this... so the expression data files are there but its not working in DAZ 3D

    This problem is rather annoying...

    I have used the Install Manager to remove all installed content including DAZ3D. I am re-downloading and re-installing with default directory options for library content. Will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

    Thanks for your help so far guys...time to go render some sleep!

    Cheers.

    So I made an image backup before I un-installed and re-installed DAZ3D and the only difference I could find was that my initial install didn't add ContentManagementServer.exe as a running process.

    I can't explain why because I clearly remember a prompt asking me if I would allow DAZ Install Manager to set this service up to which I did choose Yes. But anyhow... This was the only difference between then and now.

    I'm happy to report that this was obviously an ID10T error and now with that service running my Expressions and Full Body Morphs are back!!

    Remember people in case you have any issues with library... Please check and make sure that the following service is running in the background and is not disabled, blocked or non-existent.

    Cheers!
