G8.1F expressions

HLEET_3D

Hello everyone, 

I'm starting to use more often G8.1F 
But I'm stuck with average G8.1F face expression.
I already have a lot of G8F expression, But I don't know which G8.1F expression are good or bad or most useful.

Could someone tell me which G8.1F expression should I get on the store to help me express my G8.1F, please.

I know that the question have been asked a lot on this forum, but I'll try again : is there a way to make use of my (lot of) G8F expression on G8.1F ? A tool that might convert them or a hack that might help me get a similar result ? Because at this time, when I double click on a G8F expression for G8.1F ... there's only the eyes that move ! xD

Thanks

Making the G8 base expressions (and any expressions that are using them) work on G8.1 requires removing dummy/placeholder expressions that are installed to G8.1 morph folders - These dummy/placeholder expression files have no other function than to prevent the base G8 expressions from loading. 

The dummy/placeholder files are located in;

...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\ (255 files, can be more if you have additional DAZ expression packs)
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\ (24 files, can be more if you have additional DAZ expression packs)
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\ (255 files, can be more if you have additional DAZ expression packs)
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\ (24 files, can be more if you have additional DAZ expression packs)

Please make sure you are removing the files from G8.1 morph folders and not G8 morph folders.

Note 1; If you are logging in to DS and letting DAZ Connect (within DS) to install/update your content, you may have these also in an other location that has "\Data\Cloud\" in it's path
Note 2; Do not remove any files from "FACS" or "FACSExpressions" folders

@PerttiA : Thank you Thank you Thank you ! 

IT REALLY WORKS VERY VERY WELL !! :D

It was a good thing that you insisted on the "data\cloud" folder as I have made an update for genesis 8 essential via Daz studio ! I had to withdraw the morphs inside theses "cloud" folders too.
I have moved to another folder outside my daz 3D library all the morphs from base pose head and expressions, just in case something bad happen in the future. 

I don't know why daz3D wanted to prevent people from using their already purchased G8F expressions ... 
Anyway, I'm happy that it works just fine with my G8F expressions :D

Have a nice day PerttiA :)

Just in case, there's an (official) app for that matter : https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3--8-face-controls

But to be honest, I prefer to use my G8F expressions on G8.1F
