Pride Parade Poses

vonHobo

I installed this product today. 

https://www.daz3d.com/pride-parade-poses-for-genesis-8

DIM shows that it has been installed, and it's in my Product Library under the DAZ Website too, but it does not appear in DAZ Studio anywhere. 

I wonder why?

Where are you looking for them?

They look like they installed where expected for me, but that's just using the directory. With smart content, since there are couples poses I don't know if that might throw some things off?

Because the metadata in the package is wrong.. You may first uninstall it in DIM. Unzip 'IM00071001-01_PrideParadePosesforGenesis8.zip', open the file 'DAZ_3D_71001_Pride_Parade_Poses_for_Genesis_8.dsx' in 'Content\Runtime\Support\'  folder, with notepad / notepad++ / EmEditor or sth..
Replace all 'Content/People' with 'People', then Save it. Rezip the IM package and Copy or Cut it to your Package Archive folder. Reinstall the package in DIM.

Thank you. I'm just going to return it.

It should not be this difficult and a product should install properly.

I would say this sort of or similar wrong metadata is a regular occurence in Daz3d products.. we're used to it... Most of the time we don't wanna wait for the fix, so we fix them by ourselves...

This is the first time I've run across this, and I have close to 2,000 products. I guess I got lucky.

I've come across a few missing thumbnails in Smart Content here and there, but never a completely missing product after an install.
