I just installed the free Genesis 9 starter products and am wondering what recommendations those who have used G9 for a while now would say are there top must havess and favorites ? For every new generation I have bought so many morph, expression, characters etc that I never used or have purchased multiple products that do the same thing. I have waited to jump on G9 until there have been a good amount of products for it.
So for those who have used G9 for awhile now what would you recommend for morph packs, expressions etc ?

Vinme Morphs for Genesis 9, Natural Eyes 9, Genesis 9 Essential Shapes Bundle (has all the shapes and expressions as well as the essentials expansion), Genesis 3 and 8 to 9 Pose Converter
Those are quite useful:

I have found these useful for getting to places untouched by or affecting a narrower area than Vinme or Daz Originals morphs. I got them on sale for $12.
And if you're a bit short of available cash, there are freebie pose convertors to G9. I do one where you apply the pose to G8 and it's effectively copy & pasted to G9 (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/598316/g8f-m-pose-transfer-to-g9/p1), but there are others that can open pose files and apply the pose direct to a G9. Take a look in the freebie forum for them.

This and Zev0/Riversoft wares as well as xenic 101's muscle and K.H.Image studio's Ultimate natrural bend morphs, at least for me, as I won't jump on the G9 train without it!
Thanks for the input everyone, so are the G9 essentials such as head shapes, body shapes, expressions and starter essentials expansion actually needed to use any of these other options that everyone has suggested? I am going to try transferring some of my G8 characters to G9 using transfer utility would I need any of the above mentioned for that?
I guess that depends on what your goals/uses are. I never use a stock character (always make my own and use stock characters as part of the gene pool only when creating my own), so morphs are very essential for me. Everyone has different uses which dictates what is "essential"
Yes, head shapes, body shapes, expressions and starter essentials expansion are must haves, imo. I didn't buy the extra brows, eyes, genitals pack because I don't need genitals. But chevybabe25 hasn't released her brow solution yet; so, I had to go ahead and get the DO brow/eye/genitals during March Madness.
