I bought these two packages and can't get them to show up in the DAZ Studio 4.6.2 Smart Content Window for Actors, Props, and Wardrobes. Am I looking in the wrong place for these?
I'm hoping this is a simple case of the having to rename to .DUF extensions on the files that I keep reading about. If so, how do I do that? Is it the MC6 files that I'm supposed to rename?
Thanks for any help!

You will probably find them under Poser formats
Can you explain a little more? I downloaded the program less than two weeks ago and am still learning. I see files with .MC6 extensions in one folder and whole buttload of .PZ2 files in another folder. Change all of the .PZ2 files to .DUF files?
No, you shouldn't have to rename anything...
These are older products, before the new file formats. They are made for 4th generation figures (we are now at 6th generation), so they are still in the old format. They need M4 or V4 to use (Michael 4/Victoria 4).
They may not have metadata either so won't show in stupid Smart Content, you need to do two things. 1: In Studio go to Window / Workspace / Select Layout and change to either Self Serve or City Limits, the default 'dress-up doll game' interface has too many functions disabled to really be useful. 2: In the new layout find the Content Library tab, in this tab you can find all content (assuming installed and mapped properly) regardless of it having metadata or not.
Sorry for the lack of a reply, work and the family has kept me from doing much else.
I'm still having problems with these two packages.
I have M4/V4 and got the Lizardian to apply to them. I can't get anything else to really work with it though, they just pose and stand there naked mostly. I'm trying to give them slit pupil eyes and clawed hands. I double click them and a status bar flashes on my screen, but no changes are made to the figure. I tried to put a gun in it's hand and it asked me which hand to pose, I made my selection, the hand reshaped but no gun appeared. Sorry, I didn't keep track of exactly what objects I picked but they're all M4/V4 based items. I can go back and recreate if needed.
I've switched my Workspace to Self Serve. I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with my problems. I'm running DAZ Studio 4.6.2.118 Pro.
I'm stumped. I'm trying to learn the program as well as what content will work with each other so I'm second guessing myself as much as thinking the program isn't working correctly. Thanks for any help.
It sounds like you're applying material and pose presets rather than the actual items. Poser format items in the Hand and Pose libraries (.hd2 and .pz2) are presets. Guns will most likely be in the Props library, and clothing in the Figures library.
