Relax, Desdemmona. At times I have had problems with V3 as well. Specifically if I add a V3 saved character to a scene which already contains other characters (Michael, Steph, etc.). This does not happen all the time, but when she is loaded she appears invisible with only the eyes showing. I have discovered it is easiest to work with her if she is the first character I have added. In addition, if there are crosstalk problems if you want to add another V3 to the scene. But if you save the first V3 and then reload it after making your alterations to the second you can usually get good results. Here's some things to keep in mind. If you are just wanting to play with the face and then have V2 clothing fit, the V3 to V2 sr1 figure is the character to use only you will have to find a way to convert V3 maps to V2 if you want to use them. Personally, I just use my V2 maps since I think they look just as good. Secondly, you can save V3 characters that you have modified. Just remember to load them before Michael and Steph. If you have any other questions, just IM me. I'm pretty much willing to walk you through it step-wise until you get the results that you want. Hope this helps :)
