Vyk Marty missing files

I purchased my copy of Vyk Marty for 8.1 but when I try to load, I get messages like cannot find

    I noticed the product does list Victoria 8.1 as a requirement. Those files you listed come with Victoria 8.1.

    Your best bet is to file a support ticket to find out, I think.

  • Thanks, Phoenix1966.
    You are right ... I did not pay attention to the fact that Victoria 8.1 is needed,and I do not have that character.
    My bad.
    Thanks for answering, and my apologies for this post!

     

  • so that means $13 etc lost because I don't want to spend $45 to be able to use this character.

    You can always get a refund if it's been less than 30 days since you purchased it. You just file a ticket with support. :)

    How does it look if you just skip those files when loading it?  It has its own textures so it may work OK independent of these V8.1 files anyway, many characters work fine without the required base product except the morphs look different than on th epromos because they are built on top of the base character morphs.  Could also be that those files are referenced by mistake, happens sometimes.

     The missing maps for this character are detail weight maps for the new pbr shader tiled skin micro details. Otherwise the character only uses about 77 % Victoria 8.1 body morph. Skin detail you can simply disable in the surface setting so it won't matter much except for very close portraits.

     

    As for how it looks without the Vic8.1 body morph:

     

     

    On the left it`s with Victoria's body dialed in. On the right it's without it. Without the morph the body shape is less defined, more on the generic side and the breasts are larger.

     

     

    I'd say it's usable, but I'd try to substitute some other character details to make up for the loss of body definition.
