Could some one tell scottidog2 that DAZ only wants you to use DIM so good luck getting help trying to install it manually on a mac.

Genesis items go in the "my library" folder that studio makes when you install it. C8.5 should auto up the "my library" folder if you have studio installed. Unless you are using DIM, then it's a different folder name, in a different place.

On a PC it's in my documents, no clue about a mac.

No you don't have to install Studio, unless you actully want to use genesis.

Note you can set up your own Studio content folder then just add it to your carrara browser; I forget which type you have to chose on adding the content folder.

But as Fed up as it is to install content I couldn't guess where the C8.5 might put or look for it.

Welcome to DAZ where we make content installation as complex and confusing as posable to be sure you use DIM and CMS.
