OK so DIM recently wanted me to update some products including
- Ultimate Natural Bend Morphs 2.0
- dForce Latin Wedding Dress

The first I had not installed due to problems. The update made me install it, Boom, duplicate file errors. OK, uninstalled. Now the Latin Dress throws duplicate errors due to an included toe morphs. OK, uninstalled but hey now I get product missing dialogs on scenes I recently saved cause this stupid thing did dial itself in apparently without asking.

Please DAZ, invest less in marketing and more in QA!

    Latin Wedding Dress has always had duoplicate IDs if you have another of the vendor's other dresses installed too, as the internal IDs are the same for the two morphs - I was hoping the update was a fix for that.

    Argh. It was hidden by Turbo Loader, but now the update has turned it back on. Easy fix, though, if you don't want to wait.

    Navigate to the morph file ("[yourLibrary]\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\PoisenedLily\Latin Wedding Dress for Genesis 8 Female\LWD Shoe Pose.dsf")

    Open it in a text editor. It's a small file, less than 3K. Replace the string "Lacey" with "LWD" (without the quotes) in 5 places. Not done yet. The scene modifier ID needs to be changed to distinguish it from the "LWD Shoe Pose" id that now sits at the beginning of the file where it replaced "Lacey Shoe Pose". So, add a "-1" on the end of the scene modifier id to make it look like this: "id" : "LWD Shoe Pose-1", ...

    Save it and enjoy an error-free load.
