Did you reinitialize Michael 4 after installing Freak 4? Freak 4 loads fine in my setup. Either update or reinitialize M4 and try again. To update, you need to run this bat file, DzCreateExPFile-M4 found under !DAZ folder in Libraries.

Thank you man, you saved my life!
I had no idea of this reinitialize thing, i did not find this solution in the installation files, thank you very much!

Reinitializing is necessary after every new morph pack is installed which includes character morphs like Aiko 4, etc. This will create the extra channels to load the morph files.

Let us know if you get a problem where his shoulders join his arms and we can help you with that as well.
Love esther
PS I liked him best with Y scale in legs and thighs increased to 107, pelvis to 103 and abdo up a bit too.
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!

to make scaling changes you have to reveal the dials which can be done by selecting the body and then in the parameters panel there is a little arrow top right and you will see a command to show the various hidden dials.

Thank you Estherau!
By the way, i have a little problem, i created my freak character based on M4, but i'm not able to move his feet:
if i click the right foot for example and try to drag it with the "translate/pull" tool, it move in a weird way, not well as a normal M4 character.
This thing is more visible if i click the right foot, and then i go to the "Parameters" bar on the right, and moving the various X, Y, Z axis, they remain on 0,000 without changing, without moving, the foot remain on its beggining position.
Can you help me?
thanks

Check if IK is turned on. It is usually on by default and it could be the source of your problem.

I'm sorry hborre, what is "IK"?

I'd like to morph Michael 4.
I'm able to open him (top pic) , add the morph, and, as in the attachment, add some muscles to him (middle pic) but i don't know how to, for example, enlarge his shoulders. It's like the muscles increase, but the skeleton distances under him remain the same, the bottom pic is what i would like to do (made in PS).
Can you help me?

With such morphs, you will not obtain a corrected pose to compensate. You will need to adjust the pose manually using joint rotations and positions. Select the body area you are interested in changing and try spinning a few dials.
