1.)
I'd like to install contents from the DAZ Content .zip files found in my products page. Save time, resources, and morph bloat if only install what I want. As long as I know where content is, would that mess up postgreSQL? Not sure if that's only for smart content (seldom used) or anti-piracy. App does need to have some way of knowing I've paid for product. Didn't have any luck folowing step by step article that might be out of date.
More recently, they seem to want to make more work forbthemselves.

Came across a nice set that will come in handy on a project am working on. It's meant for Poser though. Unzip to My Library, "Poser Content" or would morphs be mixed up if parts of 'figure' have rigged doors?

1) selectively inbstalling/uninstalling by any method will have the same beenfits - and othe methods would be less error prone. You would not mess up the database, but unless you reimported metadata nor would the content management system know about the content - and if you uninstalled it you would then need to find the product in the products list in the Content Library, right-click on the container, and delete to remove it - again, using an actuial isntall tool would avoid this. You don't need to have most products in the database to use them but soem tools (including AutoFit) do need the metadata.
2) Poser content goes into the content directory in just the saem way as Ds content, it's only where it shows in the UI that changes.
