You mean you've jumped from D/S3 all the way to 4.9?! Yes, they've made a "few" changes. In essence [IMHO] it's akin to a new program. It will still load the "legacy" items however it now makes and loads "weight-mapped" figures such as the Genesis clan too. It also has 2 render engines to choose from: and shaders for one do not work with the other.
If you have purchased certain plugins for D/S3, be sure to check for the free updates for D/S4 for the few it may matter: AniMate2, and Decimator, and Dynamic Cloth Control. All the figure rigging tools are different AND included in the new D/S programs. There are a few [major] changes in how to use the legacy rigging tools but it is possible. As the new figures use the new rigging and making clothes for them is so much easier; now or when ready, if making clothing this is the way to go. The legacy shapes are available for sale in the other store for Genesis. Then between Genesis and the rest one can usually figure something out.
The "Content Library" doesn't jump around so much and many [I for one] prefer this to the "Smart Library" which is only as smart as whoever coded the files and relies upon which item is selected in the scene.
If you have any problems vitachick, just ask questions. I learned DS just a year ago coming from Poser myself, so I am well aware of the frustration, but also the benefits. I do check this forum from time to time and boudicaa36 is a person that always has good info ;). There are others too that will gladly answer any questions you have :).
