Quote - I've been using:  C:UsersRalynneDocumentsDAZ 3DStudioMy Library and from there putting things into the relevant sub-directories...  Within the program Content Library may show something, but when I try to use it, it doesn't load...and nothing shows up in the Smart Library it doesn't show much other than what was preloaded... The biggest problem is the hair files...I can handle the crappy preload clothes....but the hair!  It'll show in Content Library, but won't load it and I'm not sure why...

 

i had the same problem but i figured it out mostly....

when you buy something like a hair, first make sure that what you bought is actually the hair figure and not just an extension of it (ie, hair style or colors)

After you install it, be sure to look at the readme file at the end, that is where they will tell you where the files are.  Basically, I would goto "Poser Format"->My Library->Figures in the content library UI and look for the actual hair to click on to add to the model.  Then once that is done, goto "Poser Format"->My Library->Pose directory and try to find the mats for it. Of course some quarky merchants lilke to put their stuff in different directories like "Materials" etc, so you may have to check them if you can't find anything.

I almost never look in the "Daz3d Format" directories unless I bought something made only for Daz3d. 

Hope that helps
