The TRADITIONAL bodysuit
A LONG time ago a tradition was started. Mayhap it wasn't intended to be one, but perhaps it was intentional. DAZ never does anything without reason, yeah? Yeah! SO anyway, there has been a regular BODYSUIT created and released generationally since Generation 3 for sure. David and Stephanie 3 Petite as well as M1/M2/V3/M3 had, no HAVE a full fledged Bodysuit. And Gen4 V4/M4/K4 have a Bodysuit.
Use this for reference: https://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-2-bodysuit. They all load up in basic medium gray.
I have several Bodysuits of different styles for Genesis 2, but I wonder what happened to the DAZ Originals Bodysuits for G2F/M? And that includes coming with Poser Companion Files. I see a few more of different styles I like, but can't use as there is no Poser support. Sorry, don't use Studio. I am still looking for the DAZ produced Genesis 2 Bodysuit.
Thanks for your time,
Merry Christmas everyone!

I think two things happened. First, the genesis tech allowed previous generations of products to be used on newer generation figures more easily in DS... especially for form fitting items like bodysuits (versus things like dresses, which is why we keep getting new versions of the MFD.) Second, the Supersuit for Genesis completely changed the general direction of bodysuits, as the ability to add shaping moprhs increased the versatility of the suit exponentially. At that point PAs started to jump on the supersuit idea and began producing similar items, so DAZ didn't see a need to keep producing a basic bodysuit themselves, especially since a significant portion of the Poser user base was being rather vocal about sticking with V4/M4. Yes, that did end up leaving many Poser users out in the cold, though there is a freebie old-style bodysuit for G2F with Dson support at shareCG by cybrea...(link below in case the mods want to remove it) and Wilmap also made some basic bodysuits for both G2M and G2F, but I don't think she did Poser versions. Theoretically, you could fit the M4 & V4 suits to the G2s using the fitting room in the newer editions of poser, or (I've admittedly never tried this) cross fitting them in DS and exporting them to Poser, but I think the odds of DAZ ever continuing with their own bodysuits at this point, especially for a base that's now "outdated" by two generations, are pretty much non-existant.

Cybersox, thanks for your response. I did check out that link and that plus some other G2F items looked promising. Sure wish they'd state NOT FOR POSER in there somewhere. That bodysuit crop top looks nice. DS only though. There are still some half dozen body suits of various types here at DAZ. Like the Supersuit you mentioned. DS only. As I find things for Genesis 2 I like, I buy them. Whether they are character sets or clothing. As long as they come with Poser Companion Files, I will buy and use them gladly.
I don't use Dynamics. It costs way too much time, and gives me a headache. There are many other things I enjoy doing in my applications. I'll do those things. Yes the fitting room is dynamics.
Thanks again for your help, the information is useful!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

Yeah I have too much time on my hands! Your invisible ink is neat!
