Hello, all!
I bought the Scout Outfit for Genesis 3 Female by serzart recently and I've been having some problems with it.

Basically, it doesn't seem to have an autofit or anything like the standard clothing props that I've ever used built in. When I try to load the clothing onto the figure all that happens is it goes into the scene and not the figure. It doesn't appear in the figure's parts when I open the menu, but at the bottom of the list and not part of the figure at all. I'm not sure what to do here. I've tried reinstalling the files to no avail. I've even tried contacting the artist to see if there was some secret squirrel thing I was supposed to do, but I haven't gotten an answer.
Here's the product I'm talking about: https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/114810/scout-outfit-for-genesis-3-female

This is what the screen looks like in Daz Studio to try and explain what I'm talking about a little better.
Thanks for your help! :-)

Try parenting the pants and the jacket to the figure.

Just checked one of my old notebooks and this one is in there.

When saving conforming items in DS4 you want the figure in the scene and the item "Fitted to" the figure, that way when you use "Figure/Prop Asset" to save it you get a wearable preset. When you don't have the figure in the scene or the item fitted to it then DS creates a subset preset, which has all of the auto conforming code missing, add in the lack of metadata and even the CMS can't act as backup and force the "fit to".

Fixing this will require some recoding of the DUF files, however they can be used as they are, right click the item in the scene tab or in the viewport and select "Fit (item name) To" and chose the figure.

I don't have anything in my notes about "prefered base" so I hope autofit doesn't start when you "Fit To".

I find that I often have to use both Fit to and parenting, if it does not do it automatically.

Should only need "Fit To" as parenting conformers was only done to help with applying hierachical presets after the launch of G8.
