Thanks for the response RHaseltine!

I have many Renderosity purchased packages that aren't visible yet in DS. However, I think pulling one of them as an example might be helpful: Hongyu's Hair 2010 for V6/Genesis 2

When I unzipped this, I got a "Contents" directory that contained "data", "People" and "Runtime" top level subdirectories of "Contents". When I look at the README for the package, it also indicates the top level is "Contents". But, this seems counter to a variety of other packages that are working, which unzip directly to "data", "People" and "Contents". I naively thought I could just move "Contents/data", "Contents/People" and "Contents/Runtime" to "data", "People" and "Runtime" respectively, but neither configuration gives me DS access to Hongyu's Hair. So, if the README says "files should be HERE", but DS can't see it, what's wrong? Sorry if you are unfamiliar with this package; I'm asking the more general question and just trying to provide a specific example.

BTW, I am using Content Directory Manager to keep my "clean" DIM content separate from the Renderosity content, so that I don't muck up the whole thing as I try various fixes to the Renderosity content, like copying/moving directories. I have both C:UsersPublicDocumentsRenderosity and C:UsersPublicDocumentsRenderosityMy Library in my content directories, if that matters, because the folder structure seemed to imply content could be found in both.
