How Do You Use dForce Clothes on a Morphed Character? If I have Genesis 8 Male that I want to morph into a bodybuilder and also use a dForce trenchcoat on him - how do I get the dForce trenchcoat to fit him so that it's not intersecting with his body? Do I put the trenchcoat on the unmorphed G8M and then morph the G8M into a bodybuilder - and then add a pose - and then add the dForce simulation?
Thanks!

Have you tried fitting the trenchcoat on him and you're getting pokethrough? If not, try to put the coat on him and see what the result is. If you are getting pokethrough, does the trenchcoat have any morphs you can use to better fit to your character? If nothing else is working you could try zevo's fit control or, i know sickleyeild has products to fix pokethrough. You can simulate the jacket on a standard g8 body then add you're morphs after simulation, but if you're getting pokethrough without posing, odds are there will also be issues after you add your morphs.
Conformed garments auto follow the morphs applied on you G8M, see the screen shot 1 with the morph of BodyBuilder. Usually, professional vendors also fix the auto followed morphs (FBM) on the garment to give them better shapes...but some vendors don't ~~ In the case I showed down below, you can see the trench coat "stubbornly follows" the muscular shape of G8M which looks not good. (screen shot 1) Because the vendor of this coat didn't fixed FBM of BodyBuilder.
As for your case, a better way is to simulate with Timeline, let's say with 30 frames, apply BodyBuilder at frame 15. Then after simuation, you should be able to get better shape with no poke-thru from the coat.(screen shot 2)
@Crosswind (as always) is giving the best advice.
Another thing to consider is START BONES FROM MEMORIZED POSE option. Depending on your pose, the draping might get snagged. Under the SIMULATION SETTINGS>SIMULATION tab, there is an option (START BONES FROM MEMORIZED POSE) you can turn on and off. If you keep it ON, the G8M will go form the default A-Pose to the desired pose. If turned OFF, the trench coat will drape only in the desired posed. I find this works a lot better (unless the character is sitting or interacting with a wall or something). You'll sometimes get wildly different results.
Best of luck!
