Description
Hi and thank-you very much for looking, my new story will continue using the beautiful V4 (Victoria 4) & M4 (Michael) ... down-under
Yes, yes first I must say if you are using Daz Studio then check that it is set to "NOT" up-date automatically, all my recent troubles have been because Daz are removing older stuff from their site and each time I go on-line Daz Studio was up-dating and any old content or plug-ins where being up-dated and no longer would work, D-force, Dynamic coth control (have serial # for Daz 3 on site but not Daz 4) and then OBJ exporter that I have found so far, it makes me so angry because I cannot go to Daz and re-download, lucky I have the original Daz Studio 4.12 installer to re-install and it has worked for now, All Darrens old serial numbers are removed which annoyed him because he wanted to use Daz Studio 3 advanced again when we saved his 2009-2015 Daz files, he cannot install because the serial number which he has written down (2009 or there abouts) is now "in-valid" even trying off-line, information must be in Daz program folder that is stopping in-stall. Daz have lost the plot and care little for customers ease of use and to prove it I will share some-thing else with you about Daz and Darren. Product Library 5189 items and Orders 1425 (2008-2022), you would think Daz would like this customer ... wrong ... for 5 months now Darren has not been able to "check-out" at Daz unless it is a "freebie" or "store credit" and has not heard from Daz in nearly two and a half months for answers. He spent hours trying to help solve problem with screen-shots of every step and the most important thing that happened was when he was on the phone with his bank and tried to "check-out" using credit card and was telling the Lady each step he does and at "check-out" he did not tell her he hit the "confirm" button to finalise sale to see "Error code" message and she saw for a quick second on her bank computer screen that Daz was trying to access his bank account for about $23 US ($17 AUS) but Daz quickly reversed the transaction and because it was Daz doing, no record of attempted transaction is recorded on Darren's bank account, so does Daz computer record failed attempts? and record "error-code" messages on transactions? we do not know because they have not answered his e-mails now, if Darren was not on the phone and the Lady was not watching screen at that exact moment no-one would know transaction was attempted, they say it is happening to other customers also, they have re-set his payment method and previous order history 3 or 4 times and still "FAIL". So after all history re-set Darren first puts in new address and problem #1 is found, on account page it creates two address one Australia and one which uses Daz default setting "Alabama", delete wrong address and create new payment method and problem #2 on account page it keeps showing no "saved payment method" ... ok ... continue to "check-out" and it shows "saved payment" detail of credit card so add 3 digit security number for credit card, hit "confirm" button and in a few seconds "FAIL", even try adding new credit card at "check-out" and "FAIL", tried using the exact same detail as in 2022 and "FAIL", "FAIL" and "FAIL" so screw Daz we will buy content else-where that accepts us as paying customers, I just feel sorry for Daz vendors that are losing sales because of Daz not caring, Darren remembers Daz being nice when V4, M4 and Daz Studio 3, but when they changed to Genesis and Daz 4 they seem to ignore customers concerns and the problems they created were solved by people out-side of Daz and they have just continued on with that attitude, create and update and not care if it is easy to use or works at all. I want to post this trouble on Daz forum but they will just remove it and ignore me.
Up-date about Darren's health, 10 days in hospital and finally go home, his pillow was covered in little dirty cat paw prints his cat missed him a lot and knew he should be in bed at night. Not allowed to drive for two weeks and has district nurse come every second day to change wound dressing, another lady cleans twice a week and the community car takes him shopping and to doctor appointments and today (Friday) will take him to hospital to have staples removed from wound. I have not visited him much because I know he did not sleep for four days and did not eat for a week so I do not want to wake him by accident, soon it will be ok to visit more, plenty of text messages for now, surgeon said he might not return to orchard this year (few months) because of time needed to mend, hopefully find out more today at hospital visit.
picture 1; Mira was successful at making a big camp fire and we will enjoy the warmth and cook on it, nearly dark and we have our kerosene lanterns ready.
picture 2; Tents inside old fishing cabin, it still has glass in roof, I first thought it was missing roof iron but it was so clean from recent wind and rain, in reality our tents were just boring blue so I added our favorite colors in picture, 2 am and I am still awake, too much noise from crickets and frogs haha, MIra is still awake also just Evelyn is fast asleep.
picture 3; Tried a bit more fishing and got my lure "snagged" on some-thing and cannot get it back to me, Mira & Evelyn took old row boat to investigate, the dam is only three or four feet deep so can see bottom.
picture 4; haha Evelyn stripped down to her underwear and said "I will jump in and see what the problem is" ... oh my she is crazy it is only 15 degree and water will be much colder.
picture 5; Well Evelyn freed my lure and now we must warm & dry her, so crazy must take a picture of this situation.
picture 6; On our way home we stopped to release the unused worms from our dam camping trip, Clarky said in a shaded spot near a tree should be good place for worms to continue living, we only drowned a few and caught no fish.
picture 7; Good-bye worms live happy and long.
picture 8; A gift for Darren to show we care and miss him at work and play, the picture on his card is from his old hard-drive (Wednesday, 6 August 2014, 9:16 PM) so it might not be stupid AI generated but it is fitting for his gift, "AND IIIIIIII ... WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU" haha. I borrowed one of Evelyn's sexy adult outfits, she has lived a colorful life working in bars and night-clubs before the orchard, she is lots of fun to be with.
picture 9; "Empty?" Darren said ... "No" I replied "It says here on package it is Sue Storm the Invisible Girl" ... Darren looks un-happy but it is really pain look on his face, three things to avoid after major tummy surgery is "coughing", "sneezing" a "laughing" ... Ooops two out of three aint bad I made him laugh haha, but he forgives me and is thankful for gift and my company.
picture 10; See Sue Storm the Invisible Girl is in the package but I increased my lead in the "owe you one" game.
Thank-you for all support and more pictures and story as soon as I can, got up at 1:30 am to finish render on picture :9 and made picture 10 at 2:30 am to render while I slept a bit more, very busy now but will find time to share more as I can, stay safe.
#NO-AI I cannot use photos now it has AI added, I use a old program called Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000, it is on discs and never up-dates so no AI can be added.
