Problem locating the placeholder files to get G8.1F to work with G8F expressions

[John Lund]

I have a problem locating the files that should be deleted in order to get G8.1F to accept expressions for G8F.

This thread https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/501691/why-did-my-genesis-8-1-only-have-limited-expression-adjustment has the following advice:

Making the G8 base expressions (and any expressions that are using them) work on G8.1 requires removing dummy/placeholder expressions that are installed to G8.1 morph folders - These dummy/placeholder expression files have no other function than to prevent the base G8 expressions from loading.

The dummy/placeholder files are located in;

...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\ (255 files)
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\ (24 files)
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\ (255 files)
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\ (24 files)

The problem is that under
...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\

I have only one folder

\Victoria 8_1

I thought I had installed everything, but I must have missed something.

Do you know what's wrong? Help would be really appreciated!

PS!

Everything else is working with G8.1F...as far as I can see.

@legolas18 Hmm, maybe you are right. I had problem with some custom expressions and it could be something else.

I will test more and report back. I haven't really used 8.1 before now.

Yes, using G8.1F is not as smooth & easy as it should be TBH. :0/

[John Lund]

@legolas18 Okay! Great! Will test that tomorrow!

Thanks a lot.

That is a very useful thread.

It is surprising it hasn't been locked & or deleted!
