Hi,

this might be a somewhat worn-out question, but in a nutshell: As a DS user, is it worth getting Victoria 4?

I'm currently planning a mid-term art/illustration project that calls for a distinctive heroine, and I'm not sure whether to go with my familiar stockpile of Genesis assets or give V4 a try.

The strongest point for V4 seems to be the sheer excess of available assets specifically tailored for her. Using V4 clothes (particularly shoes and hair) on Genesis occasionally causes issues; clothing may look weird, even with some of the breast helper tools, and more complex clothing morphs often end up looking kind of wrong. V4 would arguably grant me a lot of hassle-free options there. Not to mention all the poses, morphs, skins, etc.

On the other hand, V4 isn't quite the latest model (well, neither is Genesis), and some V4 stuff does indeed work well with Genesis (albeit with limitations). Plus, none of all the Genesis stuff I have so far would work with V4. Genesis is such a carefree all-rounder in many aspects, the question would really be a no-brainer if there was more dedicated Genesis stuff around.

So, I'm basicly looking for a couple of impressions here. Would you recommend getting V4 and giving her a try? Are there any particular pros or cons I'm missing? Thanks for any input.
