Doesn't matter how you rationalize it, if you take the risk, someone WILL complain. Doesn't matter who's in the right or wrong, if anyone else will ever be able to see your screen while you work it's just not worth the aggravation and hassle. Even if you were to ask each and every fellow employee individually, and they said it was okay with them, they can still complain later, or a new employee will wander by. My suggestions would be; Install with no-one else in the office, or your door is locked. On install, 1 Delete all the nude default figures and only use the clothed ones, and only install clothed aftermarket characters. or 2 Take all the nude figures immediately and make the "naughty bits" invisible and save them back over the default ones with new thumbnails. or 3 Edit any and all textures you use to include bikinis and shorts, then change the thumbnails to match. or 4 Apply Second Skin MATs or Partial pose MATS to each nude character and re-save over the defaults. Before I became a professional leather-carver, way back when I worked in an office. I was shopping for a leather jacket once, and I had a catalog from a specialty company in my briefcase to browse on my lunch hour. It happened to have a page with leather lingerie in the back. No nudity, all the models were covered more than a bikini would cover. A female co-worker decided to snoop and found it in my closed and latched briefcase when I left it unattended while in a meeting. She lodged a complaint that she was subjected to "pornographic S & M materials" in the workplace. I had to make a deposition and testify. I brought in the catalog and the whole thing was dismissed as without merit, but I got a note in my personell file, and a ton of aggravation. The co-worker got to feel important and aggrieved, told everyone in her section I was a pervert, and wasn't even censured for having entered my office and opened my briefcase in my absence. Believe me, It's not worth the risk.
