Here’s my guess why you aren’t seeing the obj after you change the path to the obj in the geometries folder. Did you create body part groups for the original obj in your modeler?

If yes then uncheck the create groups option in the setup or fitting from when you add the rigging. Otherwise Poser will regroup the obj when it saves the obj in the characters folder.

If you didn’t set up the groups before importing the obj, and then edit the path to point to that ungrouped obj, the obj will indeed be invisible when you load the cr2. So group your clothing beforehand.
