Hi,

this might be a somewhat worn-out question, but in a nutshell: As a DS user, is it worth getting Victoria 4?

I'm currently planning a mid-term art/illustration project that calls for a distinctive heroine, and I'm not sure whether to go with my familiar stockpile of Genesis assets or give V4 a try.

The strongest point for V4 seems to be the sheer excess of available assets specifically tailored for her. Using V4 clothes (particularly shoes and hair) on Genesis occasionally causes issues; clothing may look weird, even with some of the breast helper tools, and more complex clothing morphs often end up looking kind of wrong. V4 would arguably grant me a lot of hassle-free options there. Not to mention all the poses, morphs, skins, etc.

On the other hand, V4 isn't quite the latest model (well, neither is Genesis), and some V4 stuff does indeed work well with Genesis (albeit with limitations). Plus, none of all the Genesis stuff I have so far would work with V4. Genesis is such a carefree all-rounder in many aspects, the question would really be a no-brainer if there was more dedicated Genesis stuff around.

So, I'm basicly looking for a couple of impressions here. Would you recommend getting V4 and giving her a try? Are there any particular pros or cons I'm missing? Thanks for any input.

If you are just looking for a female character with basic morphs (aiko, Morphs++, etc), you can't go wrong with V4.  There is just so much stuff custom tailored, morphs, poses, etc.

If you are looking for more extreme shapes, then I would stick with Genesis...and learn hex or another modeler enough to finish out any auto-convert issues.

Personally, I like having both. There are things I can do with one but not the other.

 I think there is a converter for Genesis to the V4 shape. Not sure what exactly it does though. 

Stick with Genesis and check out some SickleYard's and Zev0's products.  SickleYard has also done some tuts on fixing and better transferring of Generation 4 shoes and clothing to Genesis and Genesis 2 back to Genesis.

Thanks for the opinions so far. Most seem to share my slight bias towards Genesis, so... I suppose I'll see how far I get without V4.
