Quote - Anyway, first question - can she use V3 items, such as props, textures, morphs and clothing, or does she need her own new collection? If the latter is true, no way - my Runtime folder is already swarmed with waaaaay too much V3 stuff as it is!

 

You kind of answered your own question.  Regardless of whatever other pluses and minuses, conforming clothing and textures are incompatible.  Some clothing can be converted fairly well with something like Wardrobe Wizard, but it will never be automatic, and a lot of it will never look right.  DPHoadley here is talking about remapping V4 to use V3 textures but that isn't done, and I don't expect he'll be finished for quite some time.  Since the geometry between the two figures is completely different, morphs are incompatible.

Personally I like V4 a lot, but the figure is not without problems as Joe points out.  I don't think they're that serious, and do not regret switching, but if you have textures or items that you are attached to for V3, you may not want to switch.
