I can't find alot of the content. I have spotted some in the content library and in the smart content but for example for M4, i cant seem to find the ethnic faces anywhere?

    M4 and V4 are in Poser format, and their items usually won't have metadata (as they were created before DAZ invented metadata and smart content) and so won't appear in Smart Content tab.
    So you'll have to look for them in the Content tab, in your Poser content directory. The files you'll find in your DS content directory will usually be DS materials to apply to the poser-format items.

    Injection poses for morphs will be located in the "Pose" library. The ethnic morphs will probably be in a subfolder of "DAZ Characters / M4" (can't check the path as I don't have DS or the files here).

    Try looking in the Products section (one of the other subsections in the Content Library tab). That should have all your installed content, even if it doesn't yet have metadata.

    Note that finding things in Products depends on the actual folder names making sense. Many pre-Genesis older products of that vintage didn't, unfortunately — some have vendor name initials, some have opq abbrvtd names, and some are just weird. They should at least all be listed there, though.

    Thanks! Found most of the stuff now! One more question.

    When i try to add some of the poser content for example the creature creation horns. I double click it, and nothing happens.
    What can i do to fix that?

    That kind of behaviour is often caused by trying to load a material file rather than the actual item. Where are the files you're tring to load located?

    The way Poser content is arranged makes it a bit more difficult sometimes to see whether you're clicking on the actual object (which will place it in your scene) or a material setting for the object (which will do nothing if the object isn't in the scene yet, or isn't selected). Objects are in the Figures or Props library folder, material settings are in the Poses or Materials library folder.

    Another way to see which is what is by looking at the filename extensions. This can be turned on at Edit>Preferences>Content Library. The ones you need to know for this are:

    *.cr2 - Figure
    *.pp2 - Prop
    *.pz2 - Pose (also materials settings, morph injections, etc.)
    *.mt5, *.mc6 - Poser Material Room settings

    There's a bit more to it, and things do get fairly complicated, but that should get you started.
