DAZ|Studio F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 25 7:07 am)
Unless you're using a fairly outdated machine, or are using some older tools that haven't been updated to work in DS4.6, I wouldn't be using DS3. DS4.6 will handle all of your older content (except for certain older tools, as I've already mentioned), and I personally find it much easier to use, customize, and organize than DS3 or even the newer versions of Poser. (Actually, I don't user Poser at all anymore: that outdated interface irks the hell out of me.)
DS3 is also not being updated anymore, while DS4 is (which is kind of a mixed blessing -- some updates are better than others, and some seem to add new issues -- the current version of DAZ Studio Pro 4.6 (4.6.3.52) seems to be a bit more touchy than the previous version).
Move all your folders labeled content to the one main one. And merge.
You should have a set up some thing like this
My documents/daz3/my library/content/inside content should be one of each, data, runtime, people, shaders, scenes, ect.
Hope this helps.

Don't be too discouraged; content management is something that befuddles even the most experienced Daz User. It's been an issue almost since Day 1 and only gets worse as you acquire more content.
There is almost as many methods / suggestions as their are Daz users. I would suggest experimenting with each suggestion (with the expectation of having to delete and try something else) until you find an organizational method that works for you.
Personally I have tried these tactics:

I am having some organizational problems. Specifically there are folders everywhere and I have no idea what is supposed to be where. I have three screenshots one of inside the content folder and one of inside /Documents/Studio3 which is where content folder is and one of inside Runtime. I think things installed wrong because there are weird duplicates, Daz can't find everything, and I want to know what needs merging, what needs moving, and what to leave alone.
Can anyone help?
