@Wendy - only the Genesis morphs are bust in C172 - Daz-Spooky and others mentioned the same problem, but apparently not as severe as mine. I’m reverting to C149 - don’t see what improvements have ben brought in on C176.
@bigh - the cloth sims work great in DS - I can save as .duf and reload into DS, no problem. Getting into Carrara as an animation is where it all goes south - getting a single frame drape on a T-posed figure, no problem.
