I believe Blender (free) can decimate while keeping the UVs (so you don't have to deal with fixing textures/materials).
One approach could be:
1. Open the prop file in a text editor (notepad++ or similar), If geometry is not embedded inside you should find a reference to the OBJ/OBZ file;
2. Go to that location, usually at "Runtime:Geometries" or something;
3. Make a backup of the original OBJ/OBZ, to restore back later if you want. If it was OBZ use Poser script/utilities menu to decompress as OBJ;
4. Now you import the original in Blender, apply the decimate modifier in a way that preserves the UVs (see for example https://medium.com/@ilkyal3d/how-to-preserve-uvs-when-using-decimate-modifier-1bc769b64618);
5. Once done export as OBJ overwriting the original and you are good to go.
