  G2 already supports V5 uvs. So if it's a V5 skin you are OK.

  You can bake textures from one UV to another, its not super hard, but buying the shapes is way easier.

  As the title asks, and by easy I mean a script or tool that is essentially a few mouse clicks?

  If not, what is the correct way to convert skins from one generation to the next?

  As I recall, most Genesis 1 skins used the V4/M4 or V5/M5 UVs. Genesis 2 F/M support the V5/M5 UVs by default. You can get V4 UVs for G2F with the Victoria 4 for G2F product and Slosh's UVs bundles for G2F and G2M:

  Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female
  Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male
  Generation 5 UV Bundle for Genesis 2 Male(s)
  Generation 5 UV Bundle for Genesis 2 Female(s)

  Just to be specific about this, to apply V5 skins to G2F:

  1. Load a G2F
  2. Go to Surfaces and select the G2F figure
  3. Scroll down to the "UV Set" attribute and select "Victoria 5"

  See screenshot...
