I am feeling pretty stupid at the moment. I am still new to Poser.
I got the Millennium kids preschoolers as well as Millennium boys and can't figure out how to load them.
I see Matt and Maddie as well as Preteen MilBoy show up as poses, but I don't know which figure them to load onto.
This seems really simple, not for me though!
Help please!
Anne

You don't load them onto any figure. They are all standalone.

That's what I thought, but I can't find them.
I actually did find Matt and Maddy, but I have not been able to figure out the Millennium boys, as they don't show up as "Millboys" or something similar.
Where would I find the Millennium boys in the figure library?

I always move stuff around but back then, V2 timeframe, they could have been installed in RuntimeLibrariesCharacterDaz People. My MilGirls .obj files are in DazPeople in the geometries folder, so maybe that's an indication.

IIRC, the Millennium Boys were an add on for the Millennium Girl, which was needed for 'em to work.
If you have poses for Matt and Maddie, you should find the base figures in the Characters folder.

You may be right Sam. I know they were based on the same mesh and I kinda-sorta remember as you do. Unfortunately, the new product pages don't help. Neither lists dependencies and while the boys page only lists cr2 files, the girls page only list objs. To boot, the page for Matt and Maddie says 'If you already own either the Millennium Boys OR the Millennium Girls,' suggesting the boys were available separately. who knows :-) Would have thought the installer might complain also. Anyway, there should be a readme with the install that lists the files and their installed locations.

Use P3DoExplorer to see which files are referenced by the CR2 figure file. Helps in sorting what's what and for which.

Check the readme files for each product. Daz' readmes always list the files...

Unfortunately, If I'm understanding correctly, it's the .cr2s that may have gone missing. Last resort, well other than asking DAZ or doing a search for milboy on your drive - reinstall and point the installer to a dummy folder you create on your desktop. Whatever folders it installs to there should mirror the location in your runtime. Since they were an older product and probably older installer, maybe (assuming this is Windows), if Vista, 7 or 8, maybe they got installed to one of those redirected folders instead of the actual ones.

The MilBoys were just morphs for PT-Vicky and PS-Vicky. They had their own cr2's as the 2nd gen DAZ meshes had no injection channels, but they used the same object files as the MilGirls.
I remember they were available either standalone or as a MilGirls "upgrade", so they came as two different installers.
Matt and Maddie and Luke and Laura were also available as "upgrade" installers, so you could get them cheaper if you already bought the MilGirls or MilBoys.
MilGirls = PT-Vicky and PS-Vicky.
MilBoys = PT-Boy and PS-Boy.
Young Teens = Luke, Laura and PT-Luke as well as PT-Laura who could wear PT-Vicky and PT-Boy clothes.
Preschoolers= Matt, Maddie and PS-Matt as well as PS-Maddie who could wear PS-Vicky and PS-Boy clothing.
MilGirls and MilBoys are 2nd generation figures so they are not compatible with the 3rd generation Young teens and Preschoolers.

Now that I have the new K4M4 mixer script (recently here in the MP), I can make young boys and teens etc just by mixing the K4 and M4 morph. sometimes textures can be a problem as you want a young looking texture and not stubble on the face and a hairy chest.There may be a way to do it using the K4 textures - see link to thread
