Is Poser 10, Poser Pro 2012 compatible with the content in Poser 6? Like CR2, PP2, victoria 4 and her clothing, Hair, Props, Poses. I want to upgrade to either Poser 10 or Poser Pro 2012 which would be best.

Scripts from Poser 8 and lower use a different Python version than 10 Pro 2012

Check the feature comparison chart at SM site

I'd go Poser Pro 2012 (that sorta rymes)

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?

Otherwise, everything is usable.  You will need to relearn Poser because P6 hacks and cheats will not longer apply to P10 and PP2012 (or do you really mean PP2014?).

To use your Poser 6 content in a recent version of Poser, copy the entire Poser 6 program folder out of Program Files (presuming you are on Windows) and add the Poser 6 runtime to the new Poser's Library as an external Runtime, and you will have access to all of your old content.  Poser 6 will still work after moving it, too if you make a new shortcut to Poser.exe.

You may need to convert any rsr files to png thumbnails; I dont recall if Poser 6 converted them automatically.  Here ia a Windows converter...
