Can somebody that has used this model explain me why am I having this issue? I check almost 10 times the texture is in a right folder so I don't understand why I keep getting this error.

Happy Valentines! Unfortunately Daz had issues so I'll post that later. Here is the post I wanted to make for Carnival that starts anywhere between now and this Saturday depending on your location/tradition/willingness to party. It is a Rio themed party in a swimming pool. (I got the idea from a local pool that had a party full of swimming and alcohol. while I didn't attend myself (found out only after the party) the pictures looked awesome.)
I'm looking on how to dress up the set more. It seems to lack feathers and rhinestones tbh. Theme is mostly the lighting right now. If anyone has any ideas I would like to hear them. :)

Very cute idea....but i would take another tape for the mouth, as the transparent film is almost invisible.
Thank you! I was thinking that too, but then liked the way the candlelight reflected off of it, so decided to leave it in. Obvious is probably the better choice, but sometimes subtle can be cool too. Besides, I like the idea of her gagged with her own panties. Yeah, I know...I'm not right... :p

There is an error in some of the older SASE models, that has been corrected, because I showed him how to do it in bulk on the DAZ forums.

Bottom line; the .DUF file lists 'SASECathieEyesB_1007.jpg' with two backslashes at the front when there should only be one. Older versions of DAZ did not mind the extra backslash, but they fixed the issue without telling the PA's about it, so all of a sudden a lot of assets can't find files that are actually there.

I can't remember if SASE compresses their .duf files. If they do it is just one extra step. but what has to happen is that you search for "//runtime/textures/..." and replace it with "/runtime/textures/..." and it will be fine.

Are you sure it's in the right folder? Look again... it says it's looking for it in "/textures/SASE/Cathie/", that would be a textures folder in your Library folder, so the path it is looking in is "\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\textures\SASE\Cathie\". I have had this happen before when the textures were in the "runtime" folder, but somehow the original author of that asset messed up the location, or they moved it AFTER they saved the character duf and I had to manually apply that texture or whatever. So it should be in "\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\runtime\textures\SASE\Cathie\". All of the SASE textures are in the "RUNTIME\textures\SASE" folder, not "\textures\SASE", that's an error t he author made. You'll need to locate the texture yourself. I would then resave the character as a Scene Subset or whatever for future use.

I just tested that character and the problem is the same.

UPDATE: I managed to fix the problem with the original files (yeah, you got me started, LOL)... I right clicked some of the settings like in the Materials folder for the Cathie character you have settings like "Cathie All Maps"... you can right click it and select "Browse to File Location" then right click the DUF files in there and you can right click them and... at least with me, i can "Edit with Notepad++", or if you don't have a text editor to open it with, just select "Open With..." and open the DUF with Notepad or whatever text editor you prefer as they're just text files. Search for "//Runtime" and replace the "//Runtime" with "/Runtime" (only ONE "/") as the double "//" is the problem, leave the rest of the path intact of course. You can then resave the file (you will have to do this with all the setting files that have this problem) and you'll be fine. May want to back it all up for future use/installation.
