Here's an email from a merchant that didn't work with V3 SAE. It should answer some quetions - "> It turned out DAZ has changed some things in the Victoria 3 Second > Anniversary Edition and Papu and myself weren't aware of it. Apparently > people who haven't had any previous installations of V3 will experience > problems with the product on V3 SAE. > > I imagine the problem can be fixed, but it will probably mean a big > amount of work because we will most likely have to make a second version > of every single preset in the product in order to get them to work on V3 > SAE. Papu is out of town and I'm leaving for Prague in two days so I > don't think I'm able to get the product updated soon enough for the > customer :( > > Sincerely > > Outi Ry / Eowyn" As you can tell from that merchant's email, yes, there are indeed issues with several expression packs not just from them but also a few other I've found. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this before. I would like to complement the merchant for taking care of it for me since it didn't work and their attempt to help. I just wish more merchants would test with all CURRENT versions of software and figures if they plan on selling content. Then post the UPDATED specs on their page here. Yes, I have ALL V3 and S3 packs, body and face. Also I have the international beauty morph packs from DAZ. It is NOT the 2005 V3 version (not a good figure to work with), just the CURRENT V3 SAE verison with patches. So, that's not the issue. If you take a stock V3 SAE you get the same errors. As the merchant points out, the calls made to specific files HAVE CHANGED. When you try some expression packs they will always have a file not found error because the morphs have been renamed, modified or they are in another location. An exaple of this is a call to the "arch left eyebrow" or "arch right eyebrow" (name may be off not sure unless I check) they no longer exist in that format and /or location. I use both Poser 5 and 6 for windows on different computers with the current patches for them. It's not software, only figure related due to the changes made by DAZ. Make sure you are talking about the CURRENT Again, the merchant points out even THEY would require a considerable amount of time and rework to get it to work with current version. Hope this clears some things up.
