I am curious if anyone else is having the same issue that I am having with the above product. I am missing 2 rather large groups of sofas, coffee tables, and props when I load the overall environment. I swear that the environment loaded fully when I purchased it. I did several test renders and was amazed by the product. I surely would have noticed that half of the bar was empty at that time. The product page shows that it was updated at one point:

"2015-07-29 - Corrected curtain and camera placement."

I also see that the render in this thread contains one of the missing coffee tables in the foreground of the render. Since it was done by a customer, I assume that these 2 groups of sofas, coffee tables, and props did indeed load at one point.

Now the props to recreate these 2 groups of furniture do load but you would have to load each prop, like one pillow at a time, and position it. You would have to load a glass and duplicate it several times to get back to the way that the product is shown in the promo renders.

I uninstalled via DIMM and then re-installed on both my Mac and my PC. I see the same issue on both computers. I have attached the promo renders and what I see when I load the full environment.

    I resurrected my hard drive from my old computer which did happen to have the original install of "Night Bar" on it. It was a pain to get all of the old files into my DAZ file library. (One file at a time) I did get it to work. So with the old version before the update, the furniture was indeed there when loading the whole enviroment.

    I was originally asking if anyone had this same problem because DAZ help desk is telling me that the furniture I am talking about is just added to the promo renders to display to users what can be done with the product and is not intended to convey the actual product. Of course, the Polish Workshop doesn't usually add anything to their promo renders other than a backdrop out the window. They say that it is not intended to be a part of the product. I think I now have proof that the update caused something to go wrong, at least in my install via DIMM.

    Please make it known if you own this product and experience the same issue because I am still trying to convice DAZ that it might have an error.

    I seem to recall those sofa/table groups being part of the pre-load when I first got this set. They are not part of the pre-load now, but they are still in the props section and at least the sofas and carpets load in that the postions shown.

    I see that same behavior as well. I can get the individual props to load. However to recreate those groups, you would need to load each sofa, coffee table, glass, magazine, pillow, etc. and then position them individually. I can't imagine that the intent of the product update was to downgrade the overall environment. The notes on the update are simply "Corrected curtain and camera placement." It doesn't mention anything about deleting 25%-50% of the furniture in the environment.

    I have caught errors like this in the past from DAZ products and it usually resolves with a product update that makes the props load as originally intended. I am getting some resistance from DAZ tech help for some reason on this one. I assume that the Polish Workshop does intend for all of the furniture to load, even with the product update, because their execution level up to this point has been flawless.
