FYI: Pixie 9 Scream expression adjustment is dialed in for all G9 characters

When the Scream expression is dialed in on G9, the Pixie 9 adjustment for the Scream expression is always dialed in, because Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Scream is setup incorrectly. Normally I would submit a help request, but my technical support requests no longer get any response from Customer Service, so I give up. I just fixed it my self in the Property Hierarchy, but I'm no expert on that, so I was lucky to finally get it straightened out.

Yes, I see where the problem is. I am usually confounded by the Property Hierarchy, unless something very simple needs adjusting. I found it easier to edit the morph file to put in the proper data (one-line change).

(Pardon me if this gets technical)

Summary: In the Property Hierarchy, the Controller > 2nd Stage (Multiply/Divide) URL is incorrect. It needs to be changed to use "Pixie9_head_bs_Head (Pixie 9 Head)"

So, copy (in case of disaster) the morph file for Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Scream (data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 9/Morphs/Pixie 9/Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Scream.dsf) and rename it something not .dsf, or put it somewhere else outside the library.

Edit the original file. Open another Pixie 9 morph (like, maybe Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Sarcastic.dsf or Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Silly.dsf) as a reference, and as an example of the correct data to use.

In Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Scream.dsf, look for the Formulas. The first one is "output" : "Genesis9:#Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Scream?value". This one is okay.

The second one is ("output" : "Genesis9:#Pixie9_facs_ctrl_Scream?value"). There is a URL used as part of the operations:  "Genesis9:/data/Daz%203D/Genesis%209/Base/Morphs/Daz%203D/FACSExpressions/facs_ctrl_Scream.dsf#facs_ctrl_Scream?value"

That URL should be "Genesis9:/data/Daz%203D/Genesis%209/Base/Morphs/Daz%203D/Pixie%209/Pixie9_head_bs_Head.dsf#Pixie9_head_bs_Head?value". You can compare to another expression morph file for Pixie 9 to see how it is done in case you are unsure.

Save the edits, delete Genesis 9 from the scene, purge memory and load Genesis 9 again. Scream should no longer dial in the Pixie 9 corrective, unless Pixie 9 is active.
