Not sure how this happened, but nearly all of my clothing has had their Auto-fit Base and Preferred Base set to the "Rocker Outfit for Genesis 3 Females and Genesis 8 Females".
I'm going to take the nuclear option and just delete the database and re-import it from DIM.
This is going to take a while so not sure, but it should fix it.
We'll see in about an hour or so.
This sounds like bad product metadata - did you check DS 4 befoe applying the nuclear option? I would have tried reinstalling the base figures first.
I'm pretty sure you are correct.
After doing all the DB stuff and reinstalling the Rocker Outfit and Dragon Lady outfit the metadata is still wrong for the Dragon Lady outfit.
The Rocker Panties has correct metadata, the Dragon lady panties do not.
The panties for both are identical so it looks like the Rocker panties were reused in the Dragon Lady product.
Could someone with the Dragon Lady product please check if theirs is showing the same bad meta data please?
The Rocker set is included with the DS4 bundle so everyone should have that one.

I'll sort thru the other products as I get time.
They may have the same problem.
edit: Here's the other one

...also this is NOT an ALPHA issue. It appears to be a content product problem so my posts concerning this really should be moved to a more appropriate forum topic.
Unfortunately the preferred base and auto-fit base are not set in the metadata, but in the object data file itself (.dsf). The Rocker Outfit gets it right (it was first), but the Dragon Lady Outfit kept an auto-filled field for those two base identifiers in the Scene Identification dialog when it was created.
In the "\data\Mada\Dragonlady\Dragon Lady Panty\DragonladyPant.dsf" file, replace the following two lines:
with:
Save over the original, and you should not have any more problems with it.
You also can easily correct the Dragon Lady Panty's Preferred Base to /Genesis 8/Female via: Figure > Scene Identification..., set its Auto Fit Base to None (Wearables actually don't need any Auto Fit Base...)
Then, save the modified asset via: File > Save As > Support Asset > Save Modified Asset...
Do the same to Blue Nile Panty and Blue Nile Skirt.
Thanks guys, I was struggling trying to find out where this was set.
I edited them all in notepad and got it sorted.
I tried the "Save Modified Asset" technique but for some reason it wasn't saving it properly.
edit: Ok, I figured out what I was doing wrong with the modified asset save. I have that working now also.
Just curious. Was a ticket opened?
Thanks for pointing out the problem and fix. I really need to use the stuff I've been buying.
