Finding Genesis One

Now that I had to upgrade to 4.6 due to a software issue, I assume the ever-not-so-popular Genesis two figure is force loaded on program start up (which is why I can't fit anything on it made for V4 or M4 with auto-fit --I eventually realized).

Where do I find my Genesis One to load it (hopefully it's still on my PC). I poked around (and I could be wrong) but all I seem to do is load Genesis 2 ( did they actually give Gen2 a different name than the original Genesis in the file structure)?

    In your DS content Library you should have My Library (or whatever the directory is that your DS content is in)->People->Genesis and a separate folder structure for Genesis 2

    In the library, they're both located in Daz Studio Format > My Daz3D Library > People. One will say Genesis, and the other is Genesis 2 Female. Make sure you have your previous libraries added in the content library manager under both Daz and Poser format so you see everything.

    Genesis 2 isn't forced on anyone. Genesis 2 Female is included in the Genesis 2 Female Starter essentials. Genesis one is included in the Genesis Starter Essentials. You can download either both or neither. They should be available in your Product Library as well as in Install Manager if you use it.

    Remember you have to install them to a mapped directory.

    Finally you can't autofit Gen 4 clothing to G2F without this product: http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-for-genesis-2-female
    Since we V3 we have made it possible to use the previous generation's clothing on the new generation. With the millennium figures you had the V2 to V3 figure and the V3 to V4 figures. Genesis ships with clones of V4/M4 to allow 4th generation content. Genesis 2 Female has a Genesis clone to allow for autofitting of Genesis content. You also have the option to purchase the V4 clone for G2F to get V4 clothing onto Genesis 2 Female.

    Genesis can be found under - My Library->People->Genesis

    Genesis 2 Female is under My Library->People->Genesis 2 Female

    They are completely separate figures stored in completely separate folders. If you can't find it, just download and install the latest version of Genesis Starter Essentials.

    Under Preferences->Startup you can specify what you want loaded by default.

    EDIT WOW was I really so long composing a reply that 3 others got in between! :)

    Thanks for the help guys. Didn't mean to be a pain Jared--I'm just not a fan of Genesis 2 and the gender-based approach making a come back.

    One funny thing though--I did an experiment. I took a custom scene with a custom morphed Genesis one (I checked that it could auto-fit M4 clothing to make sure). Then I dialed back all the morphs to zero and saved it as a scene called Genesis One Base. Theoretically, it's Gen one, so I should just be able to load the scene be able to do what Gen one does. However, upon re-loading the scene some time later, the saved, zero morphed Gen one behaved like a Gen 2 base (I couldn't auto fit M4 clothing to it). I'm going to try doing this again, because it makes no sense (but Studio and I have had a long day today, so maybe I'm just tired).
