I've seen in the previous posts that some people have problem with making changes to the default interface of Daz.
I have Daz 4.20 installed and for me it seems that it saves the changes I make properly.
I did change to the HIGHWAY preset though, maybe that makes a difference...
I had this exact issue immediately after updating to 4.20.xxx (dunno the exact version, hopefully it's been fixed). I took a look around the folder where daz saves the interface files and found that daz only saved one out of three needed for the whole save.

I have 4.16 installed on my server, but it isn't in an upgrade DIM package, I didn't think to do that until this 4.20 mess, so I have 4.20.0.5 and 4.20.0.6 saved off.

Not everyone had issues, I also had issues with rendering, a lot of assets that rely on translucency would render black no matter what color you chose. Right now I am using 4.20.0.6 and that seems to work as expected. It is a Public Beta and installs alongside the release version, and it can run at the same time as the release version.

hey i been looking at daz and its so confusing how people get so many good characters, i looked and there is only one girl in the gen 8 thing, only 2 pieces of clothing.. does every character, clothing piece need to be bought? is there any way to dramatically change a character? or do some people literally make one from scratch?

Hi, don't worry. Try to be patient. The things you have after a clean install are the basic things, only. There are tons of assets with characters, clothing, morphs, textures, props, and lightning shaders on different plattforms. Just google it. Then you will find out how to buy and get this assets and can try to experiment.

On YouTube you can learn how to shape, pose, dress a character. And many other things. Just search for these tags. You need to invest time for that.

Then you will be able to customize a character. It will not happen in one day, but it's worth it I think. Good luck and a lot of success! ✌

it seems very overwhelming, i found one video where it talked about getting your first character, changing their styles and stuff. it was the genesis 8 woman. finally figured out i can change the body shape on the side without having to stretch bits lol.

its very very limited with clothing though, when i get used to it id definitely like to buy a couple different characters and maybe clothing but need to see which would be best for the money..

is there anything anyone would advise is must have? like is there any plug ins or things that go with this that could really help or any certain characters that can be made to look very different where you get more out of it?

appreciate the help i will look into those things you said

As I wrote befire, you need to watch tutorials how to implement all the assets and how to use them. And you also have a lot of free stuff on the internet. There is also a lot of pirated high quality stuff. If you use that, too, I would recommend to support the creators of these assets, if their assets will give you a benefit and if you will use them often. If think I would be only fair. But first, you should start with free content I think. Don´t give out money for things you will not use in the future.

Depending on the assets you will download, the download time and size will be very different. The more textures, the more MB/GB. Morphs, Poses are very small files with 1 - 10 MB. If you are motivated enough, you will find everything you want and start to do what you want. Furthermore, you should check the F95 forum. There is a lot of stuff, too.

And there are many devs and experts who give you advices and can help you with different problems. But I would recommend you to try out a lot by your own. And make the first steps before you contact someone with a difficult problem. Many devs dont have the time to explain you every little detail. This is something you need to consider. But again, if you show some potential, you will get support, from devs and from followers. (y)
