I uninstalled V4 Elite Reby Sky and all morph packages because both V4 and M4 stopped working plus M4 no longer shows up in Smart Content. Uninstalled both V4 and M4 and all their packages completely using DIM and removed them from DIM as well then installed V4 and M4 Pro bundle Suites which has everything for both and got same result no morphs work and M4 still does not show. Thank you for your help, I gladly appreciate it :)

    Michael 4 and even Michael 3 have Metadata, so they should appear in Smart Content.

    Did you install to the default location with DIM? If so, your content will be installed by default into :
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library

    Do you have that path listed as BOTH DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats in the Content Directory Manager?

    If you do, then you may just need to reimport Metadata from the Content Library drop-down menu, Content DB Maintenance then Re-Import Metadata. Close DAZ Studio, then reopen it, and the Smart Content should appear.

    Have had no luck with getting V4 and M4 to work as should even with attempt on attempt reinstalls based on others advice. I've come to the conclusion that I can find all M4 and V4 stuff in Content Library and Poser Formats so I could manually put it all back in place with Content DB Editor but that’s a all day job which wishing to avoid if possible. Thanks for your feedback on the matter all.

    You don't have to make the content "smart" to use it - if it works from Poser Formats then recategorising it can be an occasional process, as suits you, or can be skipped entirely.

    Ok but Michael 4 won't load in and in parameters tab the only morphs there for V4 is base and male body on and off M4 stops loading when a box comes up stating "cannot find a file for "/Runtime/Geometries /DAZPeople/bIMiMan-m4b.obj". And then stops loading . V4 loads in but cannot alter her shape in any way

    Also M4 s pathway is duplicated inside runtime folder

    C:/Users/Me/Documents/DAZ3D/Studio/MyLibrary/Runtime/Libraries/Character/DAZPeople/runtime/libraries/Character/DAZ People/Michael 4.cr2. I'm sure that's a wrong path

    Yes, the second Runtime folder needs to be merged with the first.

    Tried removing M4 and putting him back but the Michael 4.2 Base won't go back in and now there seems to be missing folder(s) but not sure. V4 is in but no morphs. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

    Exactly which packages did you install, and to where did you install them?

    When I removed V4 and M4 it was just the base units with their morphs I reinstalled both with their Pro suite bundles which has everything using DIM to the recommended pathway because before I put in Reby Sky Elite that's how I installed them originally and they worked fine. I uninstalled Reby Sky before I did all this with DIM the same way she went in which was the cause of the M4 and V4 crash in the first place. Since this V4 can be brought up but no morphs are reaching her. And M4 is still unresponsive. All other Gensis characters are unaffected in any way.

    Search your content for any duplicate M4 or his morphs and delete them...

    Thank you very much I will try that when I get home from work. It does make a lot of sense to me now that you mention it.
