Hi, guys. My lashes issue is still not fixed. I followed your steps: proper file location but the issue lies it's missing the lashes the moment I load the model: both Victoria and Asha (the model I wish to render). Help.

Follow up to my previous replay:
For your Asha Model follow these steps:
Open your downloaded Model File - I guess it's "Asha G3FV7.rar" with WinRAR (or 7-zip). It should show you something like this:
as1.jpg
In there double-click on the first shown .zip File "Anagord_AshaG3FV7_1of2_199399.zip" - it should open another instance of WinRAR...
as2.jpg
Put (drag and drop) all shown Folder directly into your "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library" Folder -
as5.jpg
Then go back to your first WinRAR Window with the 2 .zip Files and double-Click on the second one -it will again open a new instance/Window of WinRAR: as3.jpg
There again copy (drag and drop) the content / Folders into your "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library" Folder:
as5.jpg
After that your Model should be all good and you can start up your DAZ Studio Program.
The manually installed Models/Assets are only shown in your "Content Library" Tab in DAZ Studio.
Files (Models/Assets) that are installed through the "DAZ Install Manager" are shown in your "Smart Content" Tab (and your Content Library).
I hope that helped you a bit. ;)

I didn't follow your previous Problems... but I have one question:
Do you go and install your downloaded DAZ Studio Models through the "DAZ Install Manager" or put everything in your "My DAZ 3D Library" User Folder? All "IM00xxxxxx.zip" Files should be installed through the DAZ Install Manager! Additional "Template" Files must be put manually in your User Files Folder - it should already contain a "Templates" Folder.
Only Downloaded Files without the "IMxxxxxxx.zip" Files must be all put manually in your My DAZ 3D Library Folder.
If you fail to put the necessary Files in the correct Folder, you'll end up with a mess you seem to have with your DAZ Studio and missing/failed loaded Files for Models.
Also it can be confusing because DAZ stores Files in different locations on your Drive... I put everything I need to install manually in my "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library" Folder.
My guess is, if you mix up DAZ Files into to many different Folder, it fill mess up your loading up of DAZ Studio and you get these kind of errors you're facing.

EDIT:
Oh, I forgot - the location for the DAZ Install Manager .zip files should be in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\Downloads" - there put your "IM000xxxxxxx.zip files in and run the DAZ Install Manager.

I followed your instructions concerning "C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\Downloads", still the issue persists. May I ask though, totally noobish question - do I have to create a 'Templates' folder given I don't see such?

Hi, thanks very much. One little problem plaguing me. I don't have the .rar file any longer. All I have is an already extracted version from 7 years ago. I hope you can share. Will still try the steps as instructed though.

I am unable to compress it to a winrar file. lol

In "C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\Downloads" is no such Folder!
The Main Folders DAZ Studio needs and reads are all in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library" - and if you follow my instructions for the Ashe Model, they will be created automatically with the copying - or are already there from the normal instillation through the DAZ Install Manager. ;)

You can re-download your Asha from
You must be registered to see the links
;)

EDIT:
And it is better to use WinRAR - it's free to use for private User. The build in de-compressor from within Windows is shi* - it sometimes messes up Files of an archive File so use either WinRAR of 7-zip (also free)

I'm sorry, I wonder why the zip file is only 25 MB while the Asha file is around almost 100 MB.

Well, you're doing it wrong, sorry.
The Asha Rar file doesn't belong in the Downloads Folder of the DAZ Install Manager.

You need to follow the Steps I posted about her Model - it needs to be installed manually!

You see all the "IM00xxx" Files - these where the Files that get installed by the DAZ Install Manager - you should also set him up to delete the Files after installing them - it saves Space on your Hard-drive and cleans up the Install Manager from all the previously installed Assets - LOL

I read all of this above about location/paths etc and there is one thing which strikes me - you guys use only one partition on your hard drive? not divide it to at least one more like D: - since I remember using any computers first thing I do is to divide main drive for at least 2 partitions and that for instance on drive C: I keep windows and system apps and on D: games, all daz related, pictures and all other personal things, so just in case if you will encounter some massive problem with system in worst case scenario you only format drive C: and you can keep safely all your personal content on other drive

BreeZip is good too. Although I don't use it for DAZ, it does a lot with even older file variants. I've had little problems with it And it's free.

Left to right clockwise from Jack, we've got:
Becky, the ex-girlfriend, her stuff was burned in a barrel the morning she left Jack in Horny Holiday. She returns in Spark of Joy, on stage & screen for the first time.
