Hi Dizzie. Veritas asnwered this very nicely, (many thanks veritas,) but I'll add my two cents in as well. Here's the basic info: 1) Basically, the "Shazam for V1" and "Shazam for V2" are the full product. This is the one you usually want to use, and includes: a) the resized body parts and extremities b) either the Victoria 1 or Victoria 2 morphs c) the special addon morphs I created specifically for the Shazam/'Toon style. 2) The "Shazam V1 only" and "Shazam V2 only" is the same except it doesn't include the specialty morphs I added. This is just in case somebody prefers the standard 'familiar' V1/V2 morph sets, and didn't want to clutter it up with my additions 3) The "Victoria 1 Plus" and "Victoria 2 Plus" are the standard DAZ Vicki models without the resized body parts and extremities, but that include the morph AutoLoad features for/from Shazam. These are just for if you ever want to take a little break from the Shazam big head, big hands, big feet style :) It's there so that when you do start using the AutoLoad scripting features for Shazam, that effort can be instantly used with the 'standard' Vicky characters. So once you've added your favorite head and/or body morphs to the Shazam Addin-User scripts, you can also have these morphs loaded automatically no matter which of the variations you use. Saves a lot of disk space and you'll notice that even though there are 3 different V2 models, there's only one set of V2 morphs that is 'automatically' shared between all the versions. Hence the AutoLoad term. These AutoLoad-enabled versions for the standard Victoria 1 and Victoria 2 models will be part of the tutorial I'm writing about how the AutoLoad features work, and how to add it to any existing characters. You just get it first while I clear up any Shaz questions, and can then get back to the tutorial :)
