Subject: Girl4Base won't apply its Morphs to V4 Base and Morphs++


Psych2 ( ) posted Fri, 19 June 2026 at 8:48 PM · edited Thu, 27 August 2026 at 3:49 AM

I did a forum search on this but got no hits.

I installed Girl4Base using tha conventional "Add To Library" method and it didn't inject its morph to the base V4.2 and Morphs++. So I went into My DAZ 3D Library > Runtime > Libraries > !DAZ > DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat to initialize -- but no joy.

Next, I manually copied/pasted The Girl 4 .pz2 INJ and REM files to the My DAZ 3D Library > Runtime > Libraries > Pose > DAZ's Victoria 4 folder, where my V4 Elite and Steph 4 .pz2 files are (along with the Girl 4 folder containing the Body, Head and expressions .pz2 Files) and then ran the DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat to initialize again... without Poser running -- but STILL no joy! What am I missing?

Am I running the Girl 4 Morph Injection wrong? I normally first load the Base V4.2 that I have already applied Morphs++ and a decent skin MAT and simple lighting to, then I select V4 Body and load whatever character morph I want to.

All the scores of Non-DAZ V4 characters I have work just fine -- just not the DAZ Originals. Sometimes the V4 Elite or Steph 4 Morphs don't load -- but a few times they did so I saved those so I could load them directly in the future...

Thanks!

As I understand, all your morph packages should be installed in the same runtime folder as the V4 .cr2 file for the morphs to work. The other issue that could complicate morph injection is multiple instances of V4 runtime folders. Check your installation setup first.

Thanks hborre!

All the V4 files and folders are where Poser 11's add to Library function placed them. I'll take your advice and look for duplicate Runtime folders.

Maybe a little backstory of how the ExP files (allegedly) work will help. Poser normally stores all the morphs for a figure in the figure or as a single "side car" file the "PMD" file. DAZ's ExP instead stores every morph and every dial individually in separate files. This makes the ExP system incredibly frail. Every time you load a V4/M4 Poser has to find all of those files and add them individually. Literally thousands of loose files. What goes wrong is Poser is notorious for not finding things. Give it 3 or 4 thousand things to not find and it's sure to not find something.

So all those morph and dial files are in a not-a-runtime folder.  In the runtime folder for the DAZ figures there's a hidden folder in the Libraries folder. The !DAZ folder. That's where all those thousands of ExP files are really located. Each of the Gen4 figures have their own Batch file. Those _should_ be in that folder too. 

From your OP it seems like that's what you have.

What's most likely happened is some of the !DAZ files are in a different runtime. And, if there's two !DAZ runtimes. That would explain the intermittent behavior. Poser will just use the first one it finds correct or not. You can try searching all your runtimes for files that begin with "InjDeltas." Windows file search can't do it. You need a search utility like "Everything". If you find two of those ExP folders you can just merge them. After you merge the !DAZ ExP folders you will need to re-run all the batch files to rebuild the main injectors.

P.S. Once you get the figures loaded just save a full-morph-load version back to the library. That will load way faster because your computer and Poser don't have to hunt down thousands of files.

Nerd - Thanks for an in-depth explanation of how all those files work -- or DON"T work -- together! Most of the V4 and M4 content was originally loaded 6+ years ago using the DAZ Installer app because Poser's Library would never install them correctly. I don't know if DAZ's Installer would work reliably now or clean up a bad installation?

Still running W7 Pro on this AMD X6 platform and the DAZ Installer INSISTED on installing the core V4 and V4 characters in the Windows Public Document Library.

I built a new Ryzen 9 7900X 12-core PC last fall with an RTX 3060 12 GB and 64 GB RAM and 2 GB Samsung SSD -- but never got around to installing the W11 Pro OS. Also bought Poser 13 and upgraded to Poser 14 to install on this new system... I better get moving on that soon.

Question: Will the Poser 14 installer put all my V4 (and Elite and Steph 4 and Aiko 4 variants) and M4 (and Freak 4 and Hiro 4 variants) into the proper places -- or will the DAZ Installer be needed?

Thanks!

Poser 14 will not sort out the problem. DIM can be instructed where to place your files; you just need to add the external runtime folder(s) in the preferences and manually select them. However, if you are reinstalling V4, it would be advisable to delete all your original V4 files. Otherwise, you will be back to the same issues.
