How To Use Items From The Content Library

Hi everyone! I'm completely new to daz and have been trying for hours to get this issue I'm having solved.

At the moment, I just purchased The Kids 4 bundle . I simply downloaded & installed this whole package using the installer. I found the base child under the Smart Content section. I loaded this into my scene firstly! However, I wanted to create a toddler. Therefore, I needed to do a lot of changes which the bundle I purchased allows. I could not find any of the bundles contents in the Smart Contention section. After searching all over I found everything I need in the Content Library. The toddler was there, as well as hair, eye colors, clothing, poses. Everything I need to make my toddler.

Nonetheless, when I double click the items needed nothing happens. My right shaping section just refreshes, but I don't see any options in there. The Kid stays exactly the same that I loaded firstly from The Smart Content section. How do I apply these contents from the Content Library on to the Kid base from the Smart Content section? Should I be double clicking it? How can I use the items I need from my content library? Where did the items go after I double clicked them? Help!

Here is an image to show the issue that I am having. Thanks!

    You have loaded the Genesis child. The K4 morphs don't work on it.

    They need the Kids 4 base.

    EDIT: As you already own the Kids 4, you will find them in the Poser content section:

    This makes so much sense and it truly helped! Thank you!! I've managed to get the toddler and make changes to him, but I'm having a hard time with actually adding certain clothing/hair. Also, I've had certain clothing that won't load for TheKid/Toddler but clearly comes with the bundle. Am I also not adding this right to the program? There is a pamper I have gotten to load on his body but the texture is completely blank. It has no color to it what so ever? Sometimes the pamper won't even load at all.  Also TheKid loads with red/ginger eyebrows that seemed to not have a funtion I can find to change them! Is it possible to change his eyebrow color? 

    Thank you so much! Any replies with a solution will help!

    Are you getting error messages about missing textures?

    You'll have to look for the clothes (the object) in the Poser Formats directory under either Figures or Props. The icons under DAZ Studio formats is mostly DS texture files.

    The texture files for the items can usually be found under Poster Formats --> Pose, rather than "materials". Check out the format of the file, if it is "MC6" then it will not necessarily load in DS.

    Also, if you want to apply a texture, you often have to select the item in both, scene and surface tab.
