I use the P4 version of Victoria more than I use Victoria2, mainly because of the large collection of conforming clothing that I have for P4Fem. However, I've discovered that morphs for Victoria will not work on the P4 version and body morphs for P4Fem will not work on the P4 version of Victoria2. Could we have a little support for this character, specifically in light of the anticipated P4 Version of Michael coming? Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.

But if you morph her then the clothes don't fit S Though I do agree with you there is that big drawback and all. What kind of morphs are you looking for that will allow her to still stay dressed which is her primary goal and all.

Haven't seen any navel morphs but I know what you mean. Don't the facial morphs and all transfer from Vicki if you use morph manager? Will try to do a navel morph for her one of these weeks but I am kinda swamped right now.

Thanks and sorry to hear about your mom Hugs How is Verdie? Think Morph Manager is the way to go. It is for the kids and they have the same problem basically. And thanks about the Orcs ... Plan on giving them scraggly ponytail style hair that can be used or not.

They will also look great with the nappy hair I am doing. Variety is the spice of life and all that S

Morph Manager won't work. Vicki P4 is the Vicki mesh resized (Vicki is a little taller than Posette) and split to match Posette. For this reason, neither Vicki's or Posette's morph will work. There might be a way to use Vick's morphs, and I'll write more later.

I thought the heads would work though. That is what she was talking about trying to import over.

The head and maybe the hands and feet are the same between Victoria and Vicki P4. The morphs "should" transfer with Morph Manager. The reason they don't work applying in Poser is that the head is in a different position between the two. Morph Manager just reads the "deltas" of the morph. You might have to add the morph to an original Victoria in Poser, save the figure, then transfer the morph with Morph Manager. You can transfer Victoria morphs to the Mil Kids the same way.

I thought she was talking about her navel morphs, because I believe all the head morphs are already in the standard Vicki P4. Keep in mind what I'm about say is just a theory. Both Vicki2 and Vicki P4 share the same mesh, they only differ in size and how they are split. This is how you might go about transferring Vicki Morphs: 1) Zero pose and position Vicki 2 2) Set the desired morph(s) in Vicki 2 3) Scale Vicki 2 to match Vicki P4 4) Export the complete Vicki 2 as an object file 5) Import the Vicki 2 object file (it should be one piece) 6) Using the grouping tool to spawn prop to match Vicki P4 groups 7) Export spawn props as object files 8) Use object files as morph targets You don't have to use the whole figure; in the case of your navel morph, perhaps all you need to do is the abdomen. Downside - your resizing and reshaping of Vicki to match Vicki P4 must be dead on, close isn't good enough. The regrouping must match Vick P4 exactly, one ploy more or less and it won't work. This would be much eazier for DAZ to have done. If you have the money, get Posette Peeks, it's supposed to work with Vicki P4.

Even if applying the V2 morphs to the P4 version did cause her to split out of her clothes, that can often be touched up with a well-placed magnet. I find I don't use the V2P4 version just because of the lack of morphs. It's a shame.
