Well I am running Poser Pro 2014 and my visits to the cloth room are few and far between.  I am not trying to make it compatible with Poser 4 or any other earlier version.  About 95% of my Poser clothes are conforming and I have a great number.  I only render stills so I have no need for movement.

I can use the cloth room to a degree but only really use it if I want to put a sheet over a loving couple or fly a flag or two.  It may be more realistic but when if you go down that route you really want that satin dress to look as though it is made of satin and that means playing with the cloth attributes which is as bad, if not worse than dial spinning.

As to spinning dial with conforming clothes, well I only ever did that to prevent poke-through and these days I tend to use the morph brush and ignore the dials.  This allows me to push, pull, loosen, thighten and sag clothing without the danger it will finish up as a pool at my figures feet.

 

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
