Mostly Solved! update issues - WTH happened to my G8F?

I just loaded the revised Starter Essentials and now, suddenly, my G8F figures all look like this:

 

I immediately checked and it's ONLY the G8F characters that have a problem, and the problem is consistant in both the new DS 10 install and my existing Beta install, which was working fine prior to this.  Moreover, all of my other figuress still seem to load properly, including G8M.  My first guess was that that the new Starter essentials ididn't work with the version of DS I was using, so I tried loading that.  Nope, that made no difference.  Then I theorized that my install of the new essentials package might have been corrupted, so I uninstalled it, as well as basic morphs and Zev's shape shift, deleted the fils , re-downloaded them and reinstalled.  No good again.

So, having exhausted the obvious, I'm turning here for help.  Does anyone have an idea as to what's going on here?

Here's the image again with a bikini drawn on, since I can't fit an actual item of clothing on the figure given the basic problem that I'm tryinjg to solve, and having the skin texture there actually highlights a lot of the deformities that weren't as obvious with a grey version..

Okay, third shot.

    That is really weird, must wonder if aliens have invaded and making human/alien hybrids.. Only suggestion would be to uninstall them completely and redownloading installing again..

    Mine still loads correctly. Have you tried shutting down Daz Studio and restarting it and trying again?

    Yes, with both the latest normal and beta versions of DS 4.9 and DS 10..  And it's only G8F that's affected, so since I uploaded the latest G8F starter essentials right before this happened, I'm inclined to think that was the cause..

    Check under Currently Used in the Parameters pane - it's almost something that has been added or resaved with a non-zero default value.

    Nope.  That was one of the first things I checked.

    Have you installed anything like Neptunia or an alien? She seems to have some of those characteristics.

    It seems to be the opposite to me... more like a basic portion of the G8F shape isn't there anymore, like a shaped balloon that's partially deflated.  in any case, none of my parameter dials make it look any better when I slide them up and down.

    By the way, there seem to be some words missing here.  Did you meand to say "it's almost certainly something" or "it's almost as if there might be something"?

    almost certainly something - hey, it's progress; usually I just miss or transpose letters, not whole words :/

    FOUND IT!  It was three morphs hidden in a zbrush folder that only showed up on the parameters dial, the names on the morphs was completely different from the name of the folder they were in, and I have no idea how they got in there... but deleting them made G8F load normally.  The only problem now is that simply clicking on the G8F icon won't load the character, I have to drag and drop it.  There's probably a fix for that too, I hope. :/  

    Thanks to, everyone who helped out!  You Guys/Gals are the greatest..

    What happens when you double-click instead of dragging and dropping?

    The name and location (path) of the morphs, and their type (Modifier>Shape) should be settable in the GoZ dialogue on return from ZBrush, if you have that set to show in Edit>Preferences>Bridges.

    They weren't morphs I created myself... I don't even own zbrush.  In any case I realized that the original G8F files I initially deleted were still in the trash folder, and when I un-trahed them it seems to have fixed the clicking problem.
