Character and wearable presets question

Is there anyway to create a preset that combines both the character preset and the wearable preset? I have a few characters for Genesis 9 that I've created. The way I've been doing it for the last week is creating a character preset that does the character morph and the textures and then having to do a wearable preset that adds in props for the nipples and navel and a geoshell. It would be great to have to just one file that does it all. I'm just not sure how to go about that and which of the many preset options to save it as.

    The closest I can come up with is a scene subset, but that would (I think) also load the character, not just the preset.

    A wearables preset can include the pose, so you could change the used morphs' type to Modifier/Pose, save, and then undo - in the Parameters pane Edit Mode (right-click) you can select mutliple sliders, then change their type by right-click. The preset would work on a figure with the properties set to Modifier/Shape (at least currently).

    Are you meaning to save the morph as Modifier/Pose or save the preset after I change the morphs used to Modifier/Pose. Just want to be sure I'm understanding the process.

    Save the preset after changing the type - you don't want to permanently change the types.

    I was hoping that was the case. I just wanted to check to be sure. Thanks!

    I tried your suggestion and had mixed results. I poked around with the wearable preset and discovered that it had some options. There are tabs you can click thru that help in acheiving what I was after. I basically clicked thru all the tabs and clicked the "Include blah blah settings in Preset" box. So far that seems to work. I probably don't need all of the options checked but it probably doesn't add much unless something applies. Forum is not letting me post images for some reason. I've tried it from several different browsers and none of them seem to do it. It keeps saying "Uploading...". It's not a big file so I don't understand the lag.

    Yes, image uploading is frequently broken at the moment - it is a site issue, not an issue at your end. Try using an external host and posting a link.

    Maybe this will work...

    You don't need, or want, things that the preset should not touch - for example, you probably don't want to override material settings. If it isn't clear from the tab label you can always click the triangle next to the item name to expand the list and see exactly what is being included.

    Understand, but I'm creating presets for use with a basic Genesis 9, so there's really nothing to override.

    OP: To your original question - most likely there are two ways to get it done:
    - to save a Character Preset + Post Load Script.
    - to save a Properties Preset + Post Load Script.

    It requires some knowledge of the data structure of the related products (better to know how to edit DSON user file), and there'll be a little more work, but it can give what you want.

    ...it comes to the routine time that uploading has strike... Anyway, as below:

    PS: You may add any Wearable (anatomy, geograft, geoshell, garment, hair, whatever... ) in this way... If you wanna add Pose as well, just use Properties Preset, the steps are always the same... However if you find this way too complicated, then just save a Character Preset + a Wearable Preset, and dbl-click 2 times... not a big deal.

    The wearable preset seems to work rather well for my needs as long as check all the right boxes. Thanks for the explanation!
