A few months ago my Genesis 8 base Female suddenly began looking strange. Listen to Spinal Tap's song, "Big Bottom" to help yourself visualize what she looks like now.

At some point I figured out that when I load G8F, it automatically applies the head and body morphs for "Emma" at 100%. So whenever I load a G8F base or a character based on G8F, I have to immediately reduce those Emma morphs to 0% to get the normal looking figure. Oddly, Emma is a normally proportioned character. So I have no idea why my G8F's posterior is looming large with the Emma morphs applied.

My questions are, how in the bleeping world can a base figure that you can't even force to overwrite if you wanted to get corrupted in that manner? And is there any way I can get G8F back to normal so I don't have to do the virtual liposuction every time I want to use her? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Genesis 8 Essentials - nothing changed. Genesis 8 Male and Genesis 3 base characters are not affected - only Genesis 8 Female.

By the way, I installed Emma (from Renderhub) manually, so it's always possible that I put files in the wrong place. But that still doesn't explain what would cause the G8F config file to overwrite itself to impose additional morphs.

Any help appreciated!

When you load a figuer all of the morphs are read in, to set up their links and enable the sliders, and any that hav non-zero values are applied. Check to see if Emma has an update, if not (and by the description it is possible that Emma is not directly to blame):

Load the dev Load version of the figure

Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure Shape

Edit>Figure>Memorise>Memorise Figure Shape

File>Save As>Support  Assets>Save Modified Assets

the things listed in the Save Modified Assets dialogue may help to confirm the guilty party. Report the issue to the maker, or to Daz for product from Daz.

Ah, thank you. I'll give that a try!
