Convert your favorite Genesis 8 characters to Genesis 9 characters! The Character Converter from Genesis 8 Female to Genesis 9 scripts transfer the morphs from beloved Genesis 8 characters to the next generation, Genesis 9. The Character Converter scripts provide easy batch execution for automatically converting your Genesis 8 character to a Genesis 9 character in your library. Even better, icons, categories, and the default materials* are copied from your original Genesis 8 character to the new Genesis 9 character.

The Character Converter script is extremely simple to use. Just select the characters to convert and click execute! There is also a Convert Scene Character script, which will copy a Genesis 8 character in the scene, with all currently used morphs, to a Genesis 9 character.

The Character Converter script cannot properly convert all Genesis 8 characters. Characters with extreme morphs may have problems, especially around the eyes. Multi-part characters (e.g. a character that loads a figure and separate horns) cannot be converted. Material presets are also not converted. Default materials copied to your new Genesis 9 characters may have ugly seams and/or misaligned features due to the different UV layout. Items without metadata can be converted but will not show up in Smart Content. They may also need to be converted using a Force Convert Item(s) button.
