@Tatefa3D there is a long discussion about this problem starting around December of 2024. Copying and renaming some files from one location to another looks like the solution for people who don't own the original UltraScenery. Take a look and follow the discussion starting here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9013731/#Comment_9013731

If you need more help to get the files copied from/to the right place, just ask here. I always follow activity in this thread, as do many others who can also help.

Edited to add: It is also possible that your missing files are caused by some different problem, so keep asking if the suggestion above does not solve the issue. 

Thanks! After reading through the comments it looks like either copying the correct files to the correct folder OR just buying US1 for the missing files is the solution. US1 is on sale right now so...

If the price is low enough, that would probably solve a lot of headaches the easy way. I'm sorry I didn't remember that old problem when telling you the Classic Content would work fine in USC2. I've owned the original UltraScenery since day 1, so I've never personally experienced these missing file issues. 

I don't think there would be any reason for you to need the Accelerator product for the original UltraScenery if you are always going to run UltraScenery2, so don't waste money on that.,

The price is low enough to pick it up right now. I can get it for under ten bucks and save the headaches! In fact I think I'll pick up the Tropical Bundle today as well since it's on sale. 

Thank you for the help with this!

And at present there are a few edge cases where it can be useful to use UltraScenery 1 rather than 2.

For example, I've experimented with FilaToon and UltraScenery; it works better to have instances to make visible in Filament mode, and I never figured out a way to make that work with UltraScenery 2.

(There are other issues trying to do this, like memory limits with shadows if you have a LOT of instances, but... what the heck)

I have two UltraScenery 1 images I'd like to share.

Number one: If you go down to the woods today, very early, are lucky and very quiet, you never know quite what you're going to see. MSO Lacey, US1, stone bridge, Woodland 2 (I think), Clear Stream water, and manual sun camera. The deer are freebie fauns from Rendo freebies.

Number two: Excessive enforcement of the 'No Swimming' Notice. It's hot and humid, there's a nearby slightly swampy pool with a jetty. There is a rickety 'No Swimming' Notice that's been there since before you were born. Do you take any notice?

No.

Not until excessive enforcement measures become apparent.

US1, swamp 02 ecology, 18:30 sun-sky settings, and the fairly old Swamp Hydra from the DAZ shop. 

Regards,

Richard

Richard, both are great. The first was so sweet and a moment of quiet joy and the second a laugh and the sign was an understatement. How in the world did a Hydra get into a pond? Or is this a case of a Roman soldier bringing a pet baby one with him to Ancient Britannica and leaving it behind as it grew too big to hide?

@memcneil70, thank you for the kind comments.

The first image started with me wanting to 'Use UltraScenery and the Stone Bridge'. I had no idea what I wanted. Having got the bridge, the figure seemed right, needing to lean on the parapet. And only then did I remember an incident where I was leaning on a bridge in Devon over a 15ftwide/12" deep stream when I had a magical sight of a Doe and her faun crossing the stream through the undergrowth. The bridge had once been a dry stone humpback bridge, about 500 years old, the stream gently chuckling to itself and the banks steep and covered in undergrowth - actual location in Google streetview.

The second image was meant to just be a bit of fun, not thinking too deeply about the origin of the monster. It actually came to me in a matter of moments, then I just needed implement it.

Both images are a bit dark. I was having issues seeing my screen yesterday. My PC is in the conservatory (sun room) and I need to get some shading now that summer is coming along. Last year I didn't get the PC working again until June and as a temporary measure I had a garden parasol shading my screen. Maybe I need to get something similar (or even proper blinds) this year.

Regards,

Richard
