Genesis 9, not impressed

I am not impressed.
When loading Victoria 8 it gives me error messages that parts of the Starter Essentials are missing, but they are not, I installed them manually and know they are installed.
All will load when I click ok on the error message window, but it interrupts the workflow, and it should not happen.
Also, Victoria 9 comes with NO Makeup, just 2 different skins.
NO eye colours but the ones she loads with.
Bought Makeup for Victoria 9 and that should have been WITH Victoria 9 and not extra.
I am very unhappy and, at this point, feel ripped off.
All the hype about Genesis 9 and Victoria 9....
In the shaping parameters, there is an option for Proportion Smaller Body only.
It does not really make the proportion smaller .

I bought it, regret it already, Victoria does not install right, it's buggy, and I agree, one color for the eyes, I feel totally burned.
The Geometry has some real issues also, not impressed by it at all.
At least you got her ;). I don't even have her yet (and yes, I preordered the intro bundle). It's after lunch on the east coast for me and I still ain't got her yet. That'll teach me to preorder anything at Daz. I should have known better.
I also have stuff in my cart that I will NOT order until I get a banner (others have I'm told, but for me....nada, just like Vicky 9).
There are a bunch of iris and sclera color options in the starter essentials. I guess it's better that we get some eye options in the base free materials, rather than only available with V9.
Me neither. I loaded up the starter essentials to see the changes to the rig since they said they made it better, and they fixed nothing for the IK. The legs jitter just as much as G8 when I move the hips forward to make a walk and the feet don't stay in place.
I have seen them in the Base Materials, but Victoria 9, for that price, should have come with some eye colours.
NO Makeup options with Victoria 9, I had to buy some for her.
Feeling ripped off.
If that is the theme for G9... no, thanks.
I've done some renders of Victoria 9 and I have to say, they aren't distinguishable from 8.1 IMO.
They updated the G9 Starter Essentials. If you already got it, check to make sure you have the most current version.
I just downloaded them, and the Genesis 9.duf has been updated 9:33 AM (DAZ Time) and files related to eyebrow colors were updated 8:43 (DAZ Time)
There's also the character essentials which has extra iris options. Honestly I'm a bit suprised that Daz didn't offer the character essentials as a bonus item to those who pre-ordered or as part of the Victoria bundle deal. It might also confuse folks since you have starter essentials (free for all, includes genesis base figure), character essentials (paid, includes anatomical elements), and then the Victoria bundle (character shape and skin, hair, clothes and poses).
You have to have the starter essentials but not character essentials installed before you can use Victoria unless you want to also have genitals in which case you also have to have character essentials installed. A bit... confusing.
This is so awful, I am honestly for the first time considering to return it all, 9 is a total mess, the geometry or lack thereof in certain areas means it's either geographs or nothing.
Worst product from Daz ever, feeling so burned, beyond belief.
Closing this as it is mainly going over issuse already discussed at length in the main thread at the top of the forum.
