Firstly, you should extract zips to Studio/My Library (you can use any folder you like so long as you point Studio to it - just make sure there's nothing else in that folder to keep things easier). Yes, you should have only one 'people' folder, one 'runtime' folder, one 'props' folder, one 'data' folder, etc

Once there, you should see folders like: My Library/data ; My Library/Runtime ; My Library/People ; etc

These are the default locations. If, like me, you want to use another folder (perhaps on another drive), you need to tell Daz Studio where it is:

In Daz Studio, in the menu bar at the top, go to Edit: Preferences: Content - then click on the button marked 'Content Directory Manager' at the bottom.

Now you will have a window with a tree structure, one of which is 'Daz Studio Formats' - this should point to the My Library (or other) folder that you extracted to.

(There is also a separate directory for Poser formats (this can be the same as the Daz Studio folder - with the poser content under 'Runtime' - you point Studio to the 'My Library' (or other parent folder).

Hope that helps, if not, ask again and I'll try again
