Like shante said, when parents have to bury their own children, that must be one of the saddest things in the world. I am very sorry that you have to go through that.

To explain a little better what I mean by not using P8 features: I will definitely take advantage of features that more recent versions of Poser offer, but keep it out of the base figure. For example, if I found that the new rigging features really helped, I might try an alternative rigging, but then I'd either put that in a pose file (if possible) or make an alternative cr2.

I don't think I will be that strict with the "P4 only" rule when it comes to add-ones, though. Materials are an obvious example. In some cases I might distribute add-ons that would require P5 or higher and rely on the community to add support for older versions.
