Re-Installing V4 and Need a Refresher

Do I need both the V4.2 Base PowerLoader and the Morphs++ PowerLoader or just the Morphs++?

    I just install everything with DIM. The Powerloader is just a few kilobytes in size (around 100KB).

    I don't use the DIM, and I don't like wasting storage when I don't have to, no matter how small the file.

    If you don't use PowerLoader at all you won't be able to change which morph sets are included at load time but will have to use the DzCreateExPFiles-v4 script. if you don't inlude the add-on PowerLoader parts you won't be able to select individual morphs, but you will be able to select packs (as long as you recognise the ps_pe code).

    So I do need both PowerLoaders.  Understood.

    Thanks.

    Well that was a short-lived experience... Man we've come a long way!

    No you do not need the powerloaders. I never found them very useful when I did try them and just un-installed them.

    Yeah, amazing what we once put up with, isn't it Nyghtfall?  I have V4 and M4 installed, but the amount of load time for the figures compared to genesis, then the clothing fitting problems, then the cross morph problems... and I tend to give up.  wink

    Well I never use V4, but some morphs for M4 are very nice, and many of the Gen 4 mats and clothes are very nice IMO. If you save M4/V4 as a subset it loads very fast;) The clothing fitting can indeed be very painful LOL, they tend to fit better to Genesis than to the original figure.

    I was going to try to load V4 to transfer some morphs to more recent gen figures, but I've been searching for it with no luck. I am certain I have the Pro pack installed however, I checked first that I a) own it and b) that DIM installed it. But can't locate it anywhere in the content library.

    In a couple of months I plan on building a new rig and just reinstalling everything from scratch but until then I'd like to be able to do the things I plan on doing without pulling out what little hair I have left.

    Overall I can't complain about Studio's interface, but their content management is the least intuitive thing I can imagine. Smart Content isn't and even the Content Manager/Library is as painless as a root canal. And it all boils down to metadata as far as I can see.

    Maybe if this was the only thing I did I'd be okay, but this is just one thing of many I do. Regardless, should any kind soul give me a hint about where I might locate V4 to load 'er up I'd be grateful.
