If anything, the auto-conform function introduced in SR3 has increased my frustration with superconforming. It has never worked perfectly, though it has come close. It always fails to notice one or two dialed morphs, and sometimes fails on a whole body part (chest, for example). Other times it does what you describe, multiplying the morphs.

The whole concept of superconforming feels like voodoo. Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't. Even vendors of superconforming clothing say in their ads and read-me's that sometimes it fails to work. If that happens, they say, delete the clothing and load again and it should work this time. I've had it fail 3 times and work on the 4th.

If there is a rhyme or reason to what causes it to fail, I haven't found a consistent one. I do know a few things that always result in failure, but there are also the bewildering times when it works one minute and not the next.

Despite the kind explanations offered on this forum, I have not found them to apply all of the time. I think it may be because different vendors use different types of superconforming. I've seen it explaianed that it's as simple as replacing a 1 with nothing in certain places in the cr2. But some vendors actually have an Amazon morph and a hidden AmazonSC morph, for example, built into their clothing. So they don't all do it the same way.

I'm at the point now where I am making a copy of the SC product, deliberately breaking the SC and building a FBM out of the dialed values of my favorite characters. That works for me... until the SC decides to come back from the dead and reassert itself in that clothing. AGHHH.
