    I tried in different ways, I searched for information and I did not have any good results.

    Welcome Axesse to the wonderfull world of Daz3D and to the ZoneGfx community.

    Before we can help you, can you tell us a bit more how "new" you are to the Daz3D program ?

    Have you installed the program (Daz3D) to your computer ? If so,which version do you have ?
    Have you already used it a little ?
    Have you already installed any other content for Daz3D before that ?

    My Manual Install:
    Unzip the main file.
    Open that folder.
    Unzip a sub zip file. If there is another zip, unzip it. If not, open the unzipped folder.
    Open the content folder.
    Press ctrl+A (copy all) to select all the folders inside Content .
    On the left side columm, open Documents> Daz 3D> Studio> Then left click once on My Library.
    Press Ctrl-V (paste) and it will paste the copy files into Daz Studio.

    Repeat for any files you want to install to Daz Studio.

    I don't know either how different installing content on Mac Osx is different from windows, but Dragon's step for a manual install is about right. That's also how i do it. (Except that i prefer putting all my files in the " Program files> Daz > Studio > Content > " than in the " Documents> Daz 3D> Studio> " )

    Make sure you completly unzipped everything in each folder. Since V8 is a bundle, you actually aren't just installing one content, but a bunch of them. You have to manually install each "bundled" content one at a time separatly. You cannot just drag the whole "Victoria 8 bundled folder" in your Daz content folder and hope it'll work.

    Exemple:
    After you unzippe the whole Victoria 8 bundle, when you go into that folder, you should see a bunch of sub folder. Something like:

    Victoria 8
    Z Strike A Pose - Poses for Genesis 8 Female and Victoria 8
    Andromeda Sci-Fi Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s)
    Voss Hair for Genesis 3 & 8 Female(s)
    Boho Shorts Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s)
    FW Rebekah HD for Victoria 8
    Vertigo Ponytail for Genesis 8 Female(s)
    Capsces Variety Poses and Expressions for Genesis 8 Female and Victoria 8
    Sci-Fi Samurai for Genesis 8 Female(s)
    Throne Defender Armor for Genesis 8 Female(s)
    FWSA Elizabeth HD for Victoria 8
    Genesis 8 Female Anatomical Elements
    Lingerie Robe Set for Genesis 8 Female(s)

    Then, you have to open Victoria 8 folder and youl'll see more zipped content. Unzip them.
    Once that's done, open the new Victoria 8 folder (yeah, folder get repetitve, you might want to clean a few ones.) and you'll find a "Content" folder. Copy that folder and paste it onto your "Content" folder in your Daz studio program. Make sure you are ADDING the CONTENT of Victoria's content file to Daz's content file and not OVERWRITING it. It's IMPORTANT!!!
    If you do that right, every file of Victoria's ressource will place itself at the right place in Daz studio program file.

    Once that's done, Victoria base figure should be ready to use!
    You now only have to do that again about.... half a dozen time for every other folder, like Voss Hair for Genesis 3 & 8 Female(s), FW Rebekah HD for Victoria 8, and so on ect....

    Once all that's done, when you fire up you Daz Studio program, you should be able to see all those new product in your Content Library in your Genesis 8 sub folder.
