Nothing else in your cart as far as I could tell it kept adding back the cost if there is anything else in the cart.
Sanjay 8 is in the Fast Grab and the Black Friday coupon works on those!
Yui Character And Hair (Gen8F) (Character only used) dForce Collection 01 Casual Pants And Blouse (Gen8F) Alice Wet And Dry Hair (Gen 3/8F)
The Collection 01 outfit(s) are great for kids, they're very family friendly. The shirt shown has very few patterns, it's just solid colors, whereas the blouse has more vibrant patterned options. So that was a bit disappointing. Well, very. The pants have a nice variety.
One hair I tried (and rejected) that I am going to mention, because I was totally, totally ticked off at the lack of options to provide a usable hair- and that is Dayton Hair by 3D Universe. I'd STRONGLY recommend reading what options are available before you ever buy a bundle with hair as one of the main attractions. Why? Talk about ridiculous. You can't move any of the sides individually except to take ONE side back (completely), you ONLY "blow out" the hair otherwise. You have to move the entire hair to stop it from embedding in the chest, you can't move the ends, or middle.
dForce Dayton Hair:
Adjustments are ONLY Fit Glasses Left/Right. NOTHING IN SCENE PANE WORKS except to rotate the entire head of hair or move it front/back. Style is Hair Body (blowing it out), Hair Over Left Shoulder (that's the one side you can move), and Long Hair.
That's it.
So I used the Alice Wet And Dry Hair, and didn't do anything to it. Worked fine out of the box.
Now about Yui. Her skin is pretty porcelain, so you may want to add some sheen/moisture, and also do that for the lips which to me are fairly dry. She makes a great younger gal, and Goanna has a few nice older sister types available.
I just sent out PMs. If you didn't get one, I'll be online for about fifteen more minutes so PM me, then getting some sleep. If you didn't get a PM, note it here and my regular thread surfers who did get one will hopefully help you out.
I usually get a pm, but did not this time.
I usually get one from you, this time it was a no show for me
@gitika1 and @Kharma - I just sent the PM on to you.
not this time for me.
From an icy NJ
@ escrandall and Kharma PM sent.
@ Gitka1 PM sent earlier
Thanks guys. What happened was I had multiple windows open and accidentally closed a few that I had thought I'd sent. I knew I missed some friends but couldn't go back one by one and write them all down to figure it out. Had to get some sleep and I knew the thread folks would take care of you. :) Appreciate it! And from PMs this morning, apparently they are letting it ride and it still works.
@gitika1 PM sent hours ago
I went back and bought some more Polish vehicles.
Yes I've been filling my boots! Thanks for the notice, Novica - I'd never have thought to try it otherwise.
@melanieL As usual, thanks go to your fellow forum members. They tell me all this stuff and I just pass along. I do occasionally find some perks on my own, but mostly, the recon scouts are out there beating the bush before I get to it. I'm usually down the path marked "Test The Cart" which dead ends into a brick wall.
+1 I got the Military Helicopter Bundle. Couldn't resist the trees, can always use more of those.
: ) I bought the chimpanzee by AM that I've been wanting but resisting since I didn't really need it and it was a bit expensive for a novelty, but it looks sooo good... so, with the sale(s), I finally broke! Cuz, hey, monkees make everything better! Also thought I shouldn't pass up chance to get Daz Face transfer unlimited at a very good price while I could.

Oh, the forum SW ought to let us make mailing lists and save them in the Inbox section.
Thanks so much for sending the PM's , I appreciate it very much :)
Um, okay, I'm putzing and why is it that I always discover interesting things that I don't want to discover. For example, I was going to try and combine the WaterfallScapes Backdrops Vol 1 with another waterfall set. So of course, I pick one that is no longer in the store. I bought it 2013. See if you have it, if so, you're lucky because it's now POOF. Check your Product Library for 1stBastion's The Hidden Waterfalls.
Why was it pulled? It's probably been discussed before, but...
I think he is making a new one. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/5058406/#Comment_5058406
Is it this one, or is there another one?
https://www.daz3d.com/1stb-hidden-waters-lower-falls
It's this one

I'm sure I came across that one the other week when searching through the store, maybe not.
Ah, that explains it. Particularly this comment which explains the difference. Leave it to me to look at the one waterfall that is being redone. I ended up testing out The Last Wave with it. Would need a lot of postwork to get the wave to merge with the backdrop, unless you add rocks.
Thanks for bringing this new set back to my attention. I had bought it, then filed it away without trying it out. Love First Bastion's work.
Novica, sent you a PM.

Thanks Mary. Just now getting online but only for a few minutes, running errands.
Quick check on Daz Math. I know, people get stumped by it often. But I thought I understood their method.
An example:
Ultimate Pose Master on the sale page $17.97 (-40%)
with a new item added to the cart $14.23
login to add the 30% loyalty bonus $10.48
I understand the 30% off is from the lowest price, $14.23, and that would be $4.26 off with a final price of $9.97
Where did I go astray from the Daz way?
Where did $14.23 come from? The price in cart, with the new item, should be $14.97, which is half off regular price.
Edit: what the hell. I just tried it myself, and got the same price before logging in. $14.23 is actually 47.5% of the original price, so it’s that part that’s the error. The final price of $10.48 is correct.
Here's one of my latest pieces. I just picked up Aiko 6 as a Loyalty freebie a few days ago, and decided to test it out, pairing her with Takeo for Hiro 5. I gave her Dream Hair, gave her a cyber arm from Cyberpunk for M4 and a Cyberlege from Cyberpunk for M4 Expansion set, then dressed her in an outfit combining the tube top from Sneaking out for Tean Josie 6, the boots from the Early Spring Outfit for Genesis 2 Female, the Jeanz Skirt for Genesis and Genesis 2 Femaels, the jacket and gloves from The Major for Genesis 8 Female, the Loose top for G2F, and a lace colloar (I can't find the link). Takeo has Pure Hair Space, with eyes from HFS Evan for M4, and is also sporting a Cyberarm and the shirt from the Cyberpunk for M4, and the jacket and from The Major for G8F, along with custom biker boots (made by me), and the jeans from Ellie Cosplay for G2F.
@Tramp Graphics
The image is amazing, from the lighting, composition, characters, and use of multiple generations of products all blended with such success. And the humor that is evident on Aiko's face, and wariness on Takeo's I love.
And you kept trake of all the products you used! Incredible.
Well done.
Mary
