No good building catalogues if the stuff is not in your runtimes to use. Runtimes must come first and then having fun creating art has to be next.

Poser fun? I have distant memories of it being fun. Very distant, at this point. Those were the days... LOL

Luckily I have never had to build my runtimes from scratch but with the amount of content most people have I can well understand it must be a daunting task. It is something I dread, hence my multiple backup procedures in the hope I will never have to do so. It is a real shame though when, for whatever reason, the mechanics of a hobby distract from the fun of the hobby.
I used to build computers but these days all I want to do is switch them on and have them work, the building is no longer fun for me so I dread to think what I would do if I had to rebuild my runtimes from nothing.

The last time I had to re-build my runtimes, I hadn't been in the hobby relatively long and had a lot less content. Way more daunting now... Especially since I'm trouble-shooting everything before it gets final install be cause I want lean, mean trouble-free, and DS-clutter-free Poser runtimes.

I can understand that, I custom install everything and strip out any DS specific content. I also strip out the readme files and the templates, they are still saved and backed up but they are separate to my runtimes.

I put all documents, including readmes, licenses, tutorials, and so on in a "Readme" folder named for the product. I do delete most templates (they take up too much space and I usually save my own any way). Each product having a folder prevents older products' that have generic name of "readme.txt" over-writing each other, for one thing.
oooh 3DTM did another one for Dawn....gonna continue to support her, encourage clothes for Dawn! Nice she includeds shoes TOO!

Yeah, it's just adorable. I can't buy it right now (Bear is on his seasonal out-of-work period), but it's on my wishlist and I will pick it up as soon as I can.
I've gone a bit nuts with Karanta's dynamic dresses during the Black Friday sale at Rendo... her mesh is not quite as good as Lully's (Dawn's) but she does offer a lot of styles! I JUST went back and bought SIX more Karanta dresses...I'm hopeful that if I add many frames to the cloth sim (to relax the bust area to flat), I can even make 2 of the dresses work on Diva... !
I have a number of Karanta's items. In fact I treated myself to her Casual Summer pants and top outfit for my b'day last month, and I'm liking it. Even have some thoughts about doing some of my own textures with it, in fact, I played with the Diffuse color for the pants for this render I did up yesterday. The top's texture is a freebie set Karanta also has available for Casual Summer
