Quote - ...could someone please tell me why DAZ packages these figures that way in the first place, rather than just packing the needed files already there?

...I mean whats the reason to pack the .bat file so we the end user have to run them and create the missing files?

Daidalos, I have wondered the same thing; I abhor Daz's .bat file installation system, and was never particularly fond of having to install content from .exe files, either. Rendo has completely spoiled me, letting me see at an easy glance what's inside the archive.

Using commands to create missing files is annoying and unnecessary!
