I'm only interested in knowing WHY you're still using V4 when there are other viable figures available for use in Poser. I still use her myself, occasionally, but primarily because I'm continuing a project from before the Poser apocolypse, otherwise my go to figure is Roxie, and sometimes Dawn. But I'm curious to know why you still use Victoria r. Is it simply the number of clothes available for her? If so, why not just convert? Is it the morphs available for her? The poses? Is it just too expensive to move on?

I have a curious mind and I'd like to know.

I still use V4 because I have about 50 or so characters for her that I really like.  I can also say that (50+ characters) about each of the DAZ Gen3 figures, the SM G2 figures, the Miki series of figures, and similar numbers every other figure that has come down the pike.  Well, all of them except Eroko - she is kinda restrained on what can be done with her :p.

Like a lot of other people, I am impatiently waiting for Project E.  I suspect that she will be the figure that makes the Poserverse go Vicky who?

As far as the genesis series - I use the Gen1 series for DarioFish's figures & the YT characters - I use the Gen2 for the teenagers.  I have them running in Poser as Poser-native figures (No DSON necessary).  AFA DAZ's Gen3 - the cool kid vendors aren't releasing anything that hasn't already been done to death, so I am ignoring her.  I am sure someone will get her working in Poser, so that the Load, Conform, Make Art crowd can buy the same content all over again.

I belong to the right tool for the right job school of thought.  I use whatever figure I need for the project at hand.  My go-to figures are the SM G2 series (I have already spent $150 on the throwback sale & my cart is currently at $294 - and I missed the 1st 2 weeks.  I am hoping for a catch up so I can peruse what I missed.  My Miki 1020 want list still has almost 90 items.)

For me, V4 is best used for resource mining.
