Well, I hope it won't be too intimidating for you but this thread may help you?

You may be better starting off using the DIM installer, if you are coming new to the program.

As an alternative to manual installation, here is what I do...

I use Content Pack Assist to load any files into Daz. There is a tutorial here, but basically you plug in a prefix such as REN (for Renderocity), a number of your choosing, and the software creates the file type that the Daz Install Manager (DIM) wants.

I like the Daz Smart Content tab - ALOT! Most stuff in the past couple /three? / few? years from Daz are already Smart Content Compliant, so a big part of my job is already done.

I don't care for Genesis 1 and 2 content. I started Daz only a year ago and made a decision at that time to start with a G3 base and ignore anything below that. I invest my time and money into G3, and now also into G8.

For those items that are not Smart Content Compliant already, like third party Renderocity, I create metadata such as in this tutorial - https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/20018/metadata-tutorial-adding-new-items-to-your-smart-content

It is just my preferred method, not better than what Eelgoo does, just a different way.
