How fast is your computer and what version of Poser do you run? I have both--- Vicki 3 is very lovely and incrediably morphable-- closer to real than ever. However, she takes a lot of computer power especially with Poser 5. I end up working with Mike 2 and Vicki2 of Steph in order to have more people in the scene. If you only want to do portraits or pinups, go for Vicki3, she's gorgeous but high maintenance. Emily YMMV
