I have been perusing the free sites and even purchased some content from Renderosity. Some of the content I downloaded doesn't show up in DAZ3D, which I kind of expect with the free stuff but I am having the same problem with the paid stuff.
I did a copy and paste of the runtime folders in both but the content does not show up in DAZ at all.
The third one is difficult to get to.
The two products I am having trouble locating are:
1. Medieval Training Camp
2. Darkworld's Archery
The third one I was able to get to the controls once but have been unable to get to them again:
3:Tongue Pose Control Add-On for G2M & G2F
I can only locate the basic tongue controls.

Please help with these!
Thank you,

Bruce

    I have the medieval training camp
    you will find it in your content library under Poser formats props
    not in smart content
    make sure your Poser directory is mapped in preferences.
    Always look in your extracted zip first to get a clue where things will load before merging.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have Poser mapped to my two folders for DAZ, which are:
    F:\My DAZ 3D Library
    and
    F:\DAZ 3D

    Which is the same for all my other stuff in DAZ.
    Do I need to actually have a folder called "poser" also in those locations?

    Sounds ok, I am not at my pc right now or would tell you exactly where it is.
    Re-extract the zips to a temporary location before deleting the extracted files and look under runtime library props or figures to see the exact name if it helps.

    I just checked and tried adding it but it says it is already mapped.
    But while doing so I noticed something. I have two folders named props (possibly more elsewhere), where one is "My DAZ3D Library\props" and the other is"My DAZ3D Library\Runtime\Libraries\props", but none of the items in "My DAZ3D Library\Runtime\Libraries\props" show up at all in DAZ but the props in the other folder does just fine.
    There are a lot of items in "My DAZ3D Library\Runtime\Libraries\props"that hasn't shown up in DAZ at all.

    The Runtime folder is also where my texture folder is.

    Can someone please post the file structure for poser files starting with "My DAZ3D Library\"?
    I think I may have misinterpreted something the first time I installed some Poser files.

    Do you have "My DAZ 3D Library" listed in Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager under BOTH "DAZ Studio Formats" and "Poser Formats"?

    Yes, they both have the two listed file paths.

    The items should show up in Content Library > Poser Formats > My DAZ 3D Library > Props -- is that where you're looking?

    umm, no.... I didn't realize there was another folder option before the "My Library" and "My DAZ 3D Library" folders.

    ....and I just found all my lost content!

    Thanks!
