Someone (I can't remember who, my mind is a moldy piece of Swiss cheese) tried to weight map Sydney and found way too many issues with her mesh to make it viable. I would assume the same to be true with all the G2 (not Genesis) figures like Jessi and Olivia. Same mesh.
Yes, there is an extra row of polygons in the torso of the G2 (Genesis 2) female figures that breaks the symmetry. Shvrdavid discovered this when he tried to weightmap it. As a result, the weightmaps can't be mirrored, which makes rigging it extraordinarily difficult, as each side must be rigged individually.
He created a 'G3' with the symmetry issues fixed, along with facial rigging like that of the Genesis 3, but years earlier. However, fixing the symmetry of course breaks all of the body morphs, so neither have ever been released.
I do have a copy of his weightmapped G2F...
