How Do I Use G8 Female EXPRESSIONS on Genesis 8 Male ?

Fauvist

Is there a product I can buy that will allow me to use all the Female expressions I have for G8 Female on Genesis 8 male?  An expression converter or something?

Thanks!

You can't do it for everything, as some expressions are custom morphs with HD components.

However, for something that's purely a control slider with no morph component, I guess expressions could theoretically be converted reasonably well by copying the expression files to the G8M directory, uncompressing them with the Batch Convert pane if required, and then using Notepad++ to run a "find in files" swap to repoint some IDs and file paths so they refer to G8M rather than G8F.

Their standard controls have the same basic names, and while a few expressions are... different (Flirting is really quite different on the two bases), I can't fundamentally see why this wouldn't convert the controllers to find and activate the same controls for G8M.

However, other than doing it like that, control links are a pain in the butt to transfer and copy. (I asked about ways to do it years ago, and got zero useful responses). Anything that's a combination of morph and controller will thus be a total nuisance, as the above method wouldn't work on morph data.
