Quote - where should i put a folder called IM00011220-02_LewannaHairStudioCF

Hmh...you already gave the answer:

Quote - I only have one poser_genesis file.

I put all the poser genesis stuff in this one folder.  (wish they could be separate eg poser genesis hair, poser genesis shoes but oh well)

Quote - I have Lewanna hair in an external runtime called Poser_Lewanna_Hair or something like that already.

Do you really have an external runtime just for some hair???

Quote - I double up and mix the DS stuff with my poser external runtimes as well.

Does that mean you double install the textures in DS and other runtimes? What's the point of that? To bloat your harddrive?

Quote -   Can you suggest how I should install the V6 stuff into poser bearing in mind I like multiple external runtimes in poser.

You create a Genesis 2 runtime.

 

REALLY?

What's the problem with only one runtime? Works perfect if you do it logically.

For example

Characters ->

                     Clothing->

                                   -> V4

                                        -> Dress Sexy

                                        -> Dress Slut

                                   -> Genesis

                                       -> V5

                                           -> Dress Sluttier

                                    -> Genesis 2

                                        -> V6

                                            -> Dress Sluttiest

                                                (includes V3, V4, V5 morphs if you purchase them)

 

You can put the MAT files to the Character files since you can open them in newer versions of Poser from other locations than just Materials or Pose. So move all your hair textures to the HAIR directory and the corresponding folders.

In my POSE directory there are really only Poses left. In LIGHTS only Special Light Sets not the ones for Scenes.

The MAT files for characters as M4 and V4 I put under M4 and V4 in CHARACTERS. The same with the Morphs. It's the easiest way to find something if you want to create a new figure.

Put all Props that are figure files and usually located in the Character directory under PROPS because if Poser loads them you know if it's a prop or figure anyway. And it's stupid to load a frame for a bed from the Characters directory and the morphing mattress for it from the Props directory. Or?

Put all Scenes to SCENE - include the MATS there too, the CAMERA and LIGHTS folder for the scenes too - why hop from directory to another?

For example

 

               Scene ->

                              School ->

                                             Office Headmaster ->the *pz3 file

                                                                              PROPS

                                                                              CAMERA

                                                                              LIGHTS

                                                                              POSE (M4+V4)

                                                                             

If you put new content in your runtime always delete any folders named in vanity for the vendor. It's just easier to find a Sexy Dress for V4 in a runtime if you just use the product's name. And you know the Freak-She Morphs for the Dress are in that folder too if you have them plus the One-Night-Stand Textures.

I really hope your posting was meant to be ironic but since so many people question how to install the content I took it seriously. :-)
