I asked the AI, Terradome is broken thanks to Daz4.24, because you changed iray to a new version, seriously, make us be able to download old version of Daz. This makes your product just annoying! 

When you break something it's important we have to be able to go back until you fixed it.

The AI isn't always right, even if you mwan the Victoria AI assistant here. How is it broken?

When I buy a character, be it a base character or a PA one, the only things that interests me are the skin, and the morph. Any additional things like additional eye mats, make ups, etc are very low down on the priority list. This is particularly true for Genesis 9 since most make ups, tattoos and other material adjustments, tend to be done using overlays, LIE, or geoshells. All these can be used by any other Genesis 9 figure. This means I have a bewildering number of different eye colors and make ups for any character, so if a new one is missing these I really don't care, so long as the skin is good quality with a lot of detail.

This answer is sort of why I asked. This is how I decide to buy a new character: the skin and the morph. I have a zillion eyes, eyebrows, and LIE makeups. 

About the only thing I would like to see in a Base character is if this is THE Victoria, the bundle should include the canon hair asset, too. They're always write "Susan is young business woman" Well, if she's a character with a backstory, shouldn't she have "her hair"?

There is this https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-clothing-converter-from-victoria-4-to-genesis-8-female

Else you can autofit V4 to G2, and then from G2 to G8 or G9.

Okay, I gotchya. I'm just hoping that converter will recognize so I cna select it for conversion in the first place. Thanks.

I would love it if we can change the Daz splash screen to a custom image. Sometimes having that inspirational image splash before loading up Daz tickles that special feeling. Just like playing a game and seeing that one logo.

(I believe Blender allows this option!)
Edit: One of my favorite Daz splash screen was the image of Victoria 9 ( i think) falling/floating down. Sadly, that image didn't last long and was replaced by the car looking render (which is still cool!). This feature would be a delight since it'll give users a nice experience to customize their Daz to them.

How do you know when they were released?

Like @Felis said, it's listed in the readme.

Daz is sadly not providing a direct link to readmes from the store but they are providing the SKU on each product page and with it you go to Daz wiki : 

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/[SKU]/start

As an example, Victoria 8.1 SKU is 80093:

https://www.daz3d.com/victoria-8-1

So her readme is here:

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/80093/start

And the release date is here.

If it's a product you own, you can also get to the readme from DIM (the ! in a circle) and I think you can also see readme from within Daz Studio.

Another simple solution is to install Daz Deals (at least if you're browsing in a device allowing installation of add-ons) because among the various features included for free, Daz Deals will add a link to the readme on the SKU number of each page (warning: bundles don't have readmes).

Gun Helmet and TDT-Ophelia for Victoria 4.2 were the other two.

This is what the Victoria AI said...

For draping a character's body over objects, you can add a dForce static modifier directly to the figure itself.
Here's the approach:
Set up the character:
Apply a dForce static surface modifier to your figure
In the surfaces tab, turn off "visible in simulation" for skin and nails
This lets the body interact with objects while keeping skin invisible during simulation
Positioning technique:
Start with your figure in a different pose than the final draped position
Use the final lying/draped pose as your starting pose and run simulation just to make the body settle naturally around objects
This creates more realistic draping than going from standing to lying
Fine-tune the drape:
Turn off "Start Bones From Memorized Pose" in simulation settings to skip the T-pose step
Adjust gravity settings (try 0.5-1.5) to control how heavily the body settles
Lower gravity creates softer, more natural draping
This technique works well for creating realistic poses of figures collapsed over furniture, debris, or other objects.

@markusmatern thank you very much for the comparisons. The skin on the Valenia/Valentina is lovely and different from Victoria. I hadn't really noticed it before.

And side by side, I can see their differences in not just size but in the eyes, shoulders, wrists and ankles. Of course now it is obvious that Valentina is a late pre-teen version of Valenia 9 so her body has not fully developed and still has some childhood aspects. While Valenia is a woman going into the pre-menopause phase of aging.

in the bid to find a cheap item to maintain punches I found a hair for V4, G2F AND G3F

99 cents isn't enough to get a punch, though.

it's 1.99 for me, I am a base member  

Oh, I didn't take that into account. I'm Daz+, so I saw the 99 cents. So, good, you get your punch.

you just need to buy 2 for the same price

And I am curious, how does she compare against Victoria 9? Could Vicky be dial spun to achieve her?

I thought she was just a younger version of Victoria 9. Or a dial-spin mix with Valenia and Victoria.

Didn't know what LowPi was so tried Victoria AI, which said:

"LowPi is a low poly figure designed for creating background characters and crowds in your scenes. It's gender neutral but includes morphs to make it female, male, skinny, plump, adult or child-sized. The figure comes with 20 skin textures, 5 eye colors, 20 lip colors, business and casual outfits, four hair styles with nine colors, plus bangs/fringe options. LowPi can wear outfits that fit Genesis 1 through Genesis 9, giving you tons of customization options. What makes LowPi really powerful is the Crowd Creator script system that lets you generate multiple figures automatically, randomize their looks, poses, and placement to create realistic crowds without manual work."

Assuming it's correct, that bot is pretty good.

 

That is a pretty good summary. I'm impressed.
