Western Genre?

Would it be possible to add a Western genre to the main shop? I'd love to pick up more wild west type props and things, but I probably wouldn't find them too easily. Having the genre would definitely make it easier :)

That's a great idea; there's a lot of content that is effectively hidden in this genre.
The problem is that it would take someone a bunch of work to add categories to a bunch of old content that doesn't sell much.
In the meantime, you may want to search the store with the following terms:
Wagon
Stagecoach
Western
Old West
Cheyenne
Cavalry
Saloon
Gunslinger
Shenandoah
Union
Confederate
Frontier
Fort
Prospecting
Rifle
Revolver
Shotgun
Pioneer
Homestead
Farm
Barn
Stable
Cabin
Also, the "Historical" genre includes most western items.
Exactly, not to hard to find what is in the store with the search engine in my experience. Biggest problem is that there isn't that much for this genre unfortunately, unlike the sci fi genre
A Western sublist would be useful.

Thank you @Zylox, but searching for those things doesn't make for an easy shopping experience. Sales for those items could be improved with easier access. Perhaps if there was a genre it would highlight a potential market to the content creators? If you are creating content in an already saturated market you might not get a good return on your investment. But, if you were putting your work into a new genre then it would be easier to be a big fish in a small pond.
I think there is enough appropriate DAZ content for a category and I encourage it. :)
Now if tumble weed came up with the ubiquitous plant rather than a cartoon horse:-)
I would love to have more Western themed content ,mainly Holsters and characters. There are plenty characters to make,Wild Bill, Lone Ranger (yes I know there is one made for M3 from another provider but it sucks compared to todays standards) Josey Wales ( One of the greatest westerns made) the list can go on forever. But it is a genre that has been slightly ignored here. So to all the talented artists here lets make some gun slingers Yee Haw!
Agreed. Even with the great new outfit from luthbel, there are parts that could be done better, one in particular is the gunbelt. It seems more like an afterthought than a focus item for the set. I'd like a detailed dual rig like the one in the image myself.
Hopefully the people in charge of the store take the thoughts expressed here into account and hopefully the content creators will be inspired by the need for certain props/wardrobes etc.
