Could anyone who's bought it please give me the file size of the new Dailey hair, https://www.daz3d.com/dailey-hair-for-genesis-8-and-81-females? I've got another one of Birthstone's hairs, and while it's lovely it's also so huge that I rarely ever use it. Wouldn't want another hair corpse in my closet ... ;-) Thanks, cheers!

    Okay, I was too impatient to wait, so bought it, and the zip file size is 528 MB. Rather too large to be of much use for me, unfortunately, so I might have to return it. But maybe I can kick some unnecessary morphs out and see whether these are the ones bloating the size. So anyways, question is solved wink

    It's not the morphs, it's the 70 hair colours.

    Really wish they did list the file size, though I would not have purchased the hair based on the "356 Texture, Specular, and Glossiness Maps (32 x 32 to 4096 x 4096)" alone.

    @Sevrin and @MimicMolly, thanks, I didn't even see that enormous amount! I will probably delete most of the textures then, plus the references, because I usually use the Backlight Hair Shader by chevybabe25 anyway. It's quite freeing really, now that I found you can actually alter the zips BEFORE installing if you take care of the references as well. Tedious work, for sure, and takes ages, but very satisfying also. And helps my poor overcrowded SSD no end.

    The morphs also do add up, with just a quick check I found that the figure morphs alone add up to about 100 MB. Since I don't own any of them except for Victoria, to the bin they'll go ...

    Creators really should make it easier to delete the non-natural hair colors to free up hard drive space.  Some people will never use blue, purple, green, and pink hair! Put them all in the same folder or something.
