Sorry, my edit turned out as a second entry-this is the full post.Your screenshot doesn't show the "Smart Content" tab. Go to the top of the DAZ window, pull down from Window all the way down, and click on Smart Content. A panel will snap to your window. Nothing else will go away. This will add the tab to your work panel. That makes it a whole lot easier to find the basic figures. Learning how to use Smart Content will not be hard. It will connect related materials by different artists for the same product if you check the little box lower left of the Smart Content tab "Filter by Context". However, if you cannot find something you know you have, un-check the little box "Filter by Context" to bring up your full list of Categories. Another thing is, when you select a product, and then right click and in the pop up menu, either select "Go to File Location", which is sooooo much easier then trawling though Content. . You can search by Product, or by file (each item in a product). You can be in Content and right click that product and send to Smart Content. This is useful to have only the products you use most often and keep the less used in Content for storage.
And one more tool will help! Open up the DIM or DAZ Install Manager. Select "Installed" and in the search box put Genesis 8 female. If it was installed, you will see in the box below the listing where it went! I use that tip all the time! If all else fails, uninstall the Genesis 8 Essentials with the DIM, and then it will be in the uninstalled tab, so click on that and Install again. That should go right. I don't mix DAZ Connect with DIM. DAZ Connect drove me crazy. It's a different folder! The extra step of opening the DIM is well worth your time in just getting the product where DAZ can find it.
