Can the Gen 8.1 skins poses and cloths work on a gen 8 model? Or do i need to convert them to gen 8;1?  and if i do is it hard to convert them from a gen 8 to 8.1?

    Gen 8 is fully compatible with 8.1. Poses, clothing and materials (there is only a issue due the different Surfaces division). Otherwise the 8.1 are not compatible with 8 because gen8 has a lesser joint number than 8.1 (expecially on the face). So clothing and poses have issues.

    Genesis 8.1 has an additional UV set that will not work on Genesis 8 (and would require the Genesis 8.1 regrouping of the surfaces to be useful, by which point you would be usign 8.1 anyway)

    The joints are the same, the pose controls are not.

    Morphs for Genesis 8.1 will not be picked up by Genesis 8, nor will content that specifies a target (e.g. Hierarchical presets or fitted items) auttomatically apply to 8.

    And I don't understand most of that which is precisely why I don't buy anything with 8.1 in the description.

    It is possible to hack the 8.1 UV onto G8:

    8 stuff generally works on 8.1, it's going backwards that can have issues.
