Hi icebreaker69 If you click on your Renderosity profile picture up on top right of screen and choose - My Account it will open up and show your purchases. Download the Zip file/s to your chosen location (Default is usually Downloads unless you have it set to an external drive etc.) when complete unzip folder to C:UsersYourComputerNameDocumentsDAZ 3DStudioMy Library * Just your regular Document folder you see where you normally see Documents, Pictures, Music, Video when you click on the folder icon Once done you will find your products in your 'Content Library' In your Daz software.

Check that the zip doesn't contain a My Library or Content folder at the root - you want to merge the Data and Runtime foldres, and any other folders at the same level, with those already in your content directory - the My Library folder by default.

I usually unzip to a specific 'unzipped' folder, keeping the basic name of the original file (to check I have actually unzipped rather than simply downloaded). I then copy the resulting files across to My Library, but check that they are in a vaguely similar structure first. You can have (say) Runtime/Runtime folders, but it is best to avoid it if you can. I have some, mainly due (I think) to ignorance when beginning. You will probably be asked about whether to save or discard duplicate license files. I usually say keep both as they are for different makers and products usually. Mind, finding the right license can then be a fag if you are so minded. If new to this, and therefore able to be sensible rather than wildly excitably enthusiastic, I recommend immediately renaming the relevant license to reflect the specific package, but it's up to you.

I have a similar question. Do I just send a copy of the Content folder from the older Daz to My Library folder so i can get to old V4 stuff?

Don't extract the "Content", "My Library" or "My DAZ3D Library" folders, extract the files and folders inside them.

Victoria (and Michael) 4 morphs, if they are using ExP (that is, if they require the DzCreateExPFiles-v4 script to be run) have to go to the same content directory as the base figure.

I extracted all the the files and folders out of my old content folder and put them in my new library. I just can not find or load them in my Daz|Studio 4.8 Pro.

What folders do you have set as Poser/DAZ Studio content directories, what and exactly where are some of the files you should see but don't, and where in DS are you looking for them?

I don't know if this will help but I wrote a tutorial on setting things up so you can use Poser content in DAZ Studio... https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2889603
Of specific note to pay attention to are the types of Poser items listed that will and won't work in DS...
