I needed Genesis installed in order to test some utilities I'm working on for Poser.

The instructions on the support page weren't helpful but it seems to work fine the way I did it.  The documentation is dated as it says content "installers" for Genesis.  There are zips.

I installed the content first (order didn't matter in this case).  I unzipped Genesis 2 Female (main content then Poser content) in a folder, not merged with any existing Runtime.  I only installed the content folders, not the other stuff for DAZ Installer.

I installed the DSON addon.

I added a new Runtime in Poser which is is the Runtime inside of the Genesis content folder.

Genesis 2 Female loads properly.

I don't have DS 4 installed.

I disable the addon when not working with Genesis, to reduce any overhead, by moving the "dson" folder and its contents to a new folder that I made named "addonsDisabled".
