Genesis 8 Characters all look like default G8 characters

I have got a few G8 characters recently but every time I try to either load them as preset or apply characteristics, nothing happens and they just look like the defailt G8 or G8.1 character. These characters do not require any morphs although I do have some as they were required for some other characters.
How do I get the character to corectly show rather than all characters only loading the default G8 appearence?

Are you sure you've selected G8 before applying?
Yes, I selected the character then attempted to apply the characteristics but nothing changes
Can you show a screenshot of the folder so we can see what you are? Be sure there's no nudity.
How did you install?
I installed with the DAZ launcher
The attatched photo is supposed to be: https://www.daz3d.com/hashimoto-character-and-hair-for-genesis-8-female
Do you mean Daz Central? If you select the figure and look in the Parameters pane can you find the sliders for the character you are using?
The shaping sliders aren't making a difference to the character. The parameter sliders only move the character and change the pose, this is not what I am trying to do. I am using the Hashimoto character but this character is loading showing features of G8F or G8.1F and it is not possible to add the character presets or sliders. The same problem applies to hair, when I click on Hashimoto Hair in the scene window then to a preset but the position will not change to the preset I selected. This happens to all Gen 8 and 8.1 characters.
What does your Log say (Edit->Troubleshooting->View Log File)
Do not copy the text in the log to the message area, but use the "Attach a file" above "Post Comment" button to attach the log to your post
But are there sliders there at all for the character?
There is no troubleshooting link that I can see under the edit tab. All sliders appear, parameters work but shaping sliders and shaping presets do not wok.
It's in Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File
You have a menu called "Help", when you click on it the dropdown list has "Troubleshooting", which has a sub.menu with "View Log File"
This is the log from just now, I loaded Hashimoto in a different environment and got the same thing. I have also tested Amanda Mai, Girly Nazuna (only height works) as well as Manami but they all end up with the same default Gen 8 features. Other than height the only other things that work are hair, eye, lip and skin textures.
Edit: Added another screenshot with three featuring the same outfits and hair for comparison, the three characters are supposed to be (left to right) Girly Nazuna with no height settings applied, Hashimoto, and Amanda Mai.
Have you purchased the Head and Bodymorphs for G8F?
There were no morph requiremenrs for the affected characters but I do have some head and body morphs. If these are causing confliction is there a way to stop them interfering without uninstalling them?
Close DS and check with the Task Manager that is not running anymore.
C:\Users\[Your login name]\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\dson\cache\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\
You will find "Female.cache.dsf" and "Female 8_1.cache.dsf" in there, delete both - Don't worry, DS will recreate them the next time you load a G8/G8.1 Female character.
That fixed it, cheers
