    You should never install content into the Program Files, Program Files (x86), or ProgramData folders, these are all protected system folders.  DIM doesn't not communicate with Studio, you need set your install location in DIM's preferences and set the library location in Studio's Content Directory Manager.  When those two paths are the same Studio will be able to see your content.

    Yes, and you see there, you are installing to:

    C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library which is neither C:/Users/Nicholas/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library  nor C:/ProgramData/DAZ 3D/My Library, which clearly explains why you are having problems. A user error, you are installing to a location which is unknown to DAZ Studio. Add that location to your DAZ Studio and it's all happy endings.

    If you look at this pic it gives half an idea where I should put it, like there should be a string of folder names before /Data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/female/etc/etc/etc... But i have no idea what that should be..

     

    Nevermind, the image wont attach right. because why not stack another fucking headache on top of everything else? right?

    Did you add the path C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library to DAZ Studio, which is what I said you should do?

    Now that I've smashed a perfectly good coffee mug I can say "YES" like an adult without acting like a snirky teenager back...

    Thats in install manager, I said in DAZ Studio, the Content Manager  as you showed us in this image, and which fixmyPCMike told you to do in the post after you showed us that,

     

    If you had followed his advice there everything would work now.

    I shown you that the folder you asked if I created exist. I shown you id dose, I was also showing you that I told DLM to install things there.

    I tried it and its still not working.

     

    Is the problem the DLM? should I try Unzipping everthing to C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library

    OK, ok, ok... I think I see what you are saying now... Is this what you wanted me to do?

    Yes, as you were installing to a location not known to DAZ Studio, does it work now?

    My Smart content is all MIA now... I'll have to dig for it or somthing..

    Which directoty did you install to? And I suggest Reimport metadata as you have fiddled with the content locations.
