Hello, I am trying to manually install my content into Studio, but I am at a loss as to what to do with these files.
As I understand, I have two folders/directories into which I can drop them into.
Within the folders/directories I drop the sea and sep files into the /data/cloud/install sub-directory
My question is do I drop them into either one, or both?
Next, I have the Content folder. As I understand I can map to this folder within the Content Directory Manager?
Any help would be appreciated.

Drop both sea and sep files into the /data/cloud/install folder within your DAZ Connect Library.
To install, within DAZ Studio, select the Smart Content Tab's Option icon (white page icon top right) and select "Install Offline Products"
This process used to work for me, but the last few times I tried to install products offline, nothing happens, nothing in the error log and the files stay put in the install folder. When it did work, I would see messages in the status bar on the lower left showing the progress and the sep and sep files would be deleted from the install folder.
You drop both files (or copies if you want to archive them, as they will be deleted) into the /data/cloud/install/ folder in your Daz Connect data directory, then you go to the Smart Content pane in DS and from it's option menu (the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab) select Install Offline Products. Your copy of DS must have been authenticated (by connecting to your account) at least once for this to work.
Can I drop all the sea and sep files I have into the directory at once?
Yes, you can install multiple sea/sep files at the same time.
You must place them both at the same time - the .sep is the actual product files, the .sea is the authorisation file tied to your account - if the sep isn't there there's nothing to install, if the dea isn't there DS doesn't know you are allowed to install.
Michael/Victoria 4 don't have the sep/sea files.I'd like to try and keep everything to at least one directory, so how do I do that with these?
V4 and M4 and their morphs packs can't be installed via Connect due to the way their morph technology work. You'll need to install them via DIM or manually using the zip files.
