Quote - Even with the females, there are issues to chose them over V4. Weightmapping, not a huge deal because the girl has to look good enough and look good when posed well enough to generate interest before we get to bending. Anastasia has a good start in that department, but she needs a complete morphing and expression replacement to supercede alyson's dials... and if SM was smart, they'd buy her out and do just that.... then contract out someone to fix Ryan in the same manner. V4 has that over the others, because you can use dials to make her into different looks and body types easily and there was a push behind her from a large company that invested in her. A online community that will easily be at each other's throats won't have that same effect to get things accomplished.

Okay, so with DS4pro, you don't have to buy addons or plugins, because you already have.  You have already also spent about $10 less than for a retail version of PP2012 and still no dynamic hair.  I don't know what it comes with for content, but PP2012 comes with a ton.  Not much of that of interest to me, but if I need a different setting, it's probably hiding in the content, or close enough that I can use it.

Females, maybe you didn't catch it, but I thought it sounded like I clothed my women, in something I wouldn't be ashamed to see my daughter wearing. Weird joints or awkward bends, I don't see once the clothing is on them. 

V4, even with third party morphs to her, no matter what you do, she looks like V4, ditto for V3.  Always what I call a "New York fashion model", portraying all the warmth of a continent sized iceberg.  When I bought V4, it was part of a pack, I think around $50, which was reasonable.  Bought a few characters for her, so much for impulse, haven't used any of them.  I don't think Genesis or V5 would be any different, terrific for a month, then the realization setting in that they do not fit what I want for characters.  If getting a morph to look like what I want is a DIY project, then I might as well work with what I already have.
