Well, I have the basic P11.2 program installed successfully, and I've set it to launch Andy in the construct dome as my default scene.
Nice....very nice
Since I already have La Femme from Rendo, and all the Hivewire stuff in their own runtimes, all I need to do is find which zip has the new hair, and just install that, plus the new props, and the legacy stuff, and I'll be all set

Yeah, I prefer the lightweight default loading, and I use the construct a lot in animations, and I use Andy a lot when testing shaders and lighting. I only do human models occasionally. And of course the good news is, we're finally free of the phone home feature that was so restrictive, and would ultimately fail when it attempted to reach the SM server. Also, I was so glad that Maja stopped by and literally did her installation while online with us...she seemed happy with it, and that was a relief for me. As you can see from this screen shot, there was no separate download area for the legacy files, but they were included on the same download page, so they were not cast aside, but included as an equal option. This is something that could have been clarified better...sometimes the way things were worded in discussion threads, it confused the issue some.

I also picked up the tip in the discussion thread about how to set large thumbnails, and even better, how to decrease the indention space, so that the text doesn't just disappear from sight when the file tree is deep. Any visual aids are much appreciated
Satira's quote: Click on the three dots at the bottom of the library to expand the library properties. Then depending whether you use Tree or List, adjust the thumbnail sizes.

It'll be interesting to see what you guys end up doing with this. Jim still hasn't seen anything that makes him want to get a new version of Poser. He did skip 2 earlier versions so this isn't a big surprise for me. He doesn't want renders that take more than half an hour so Superfly is useless to him and the other improvements just didn't warrant the expense.

For me the UI option of enlarged text is probably the best option, followed by superfly materials and much improved lighting over PP2014. Rendering time is not bad if you keep the scene simple. Maybe there will be a sale on P11.2 when P12 is released, so you might get an opportunity to move up then.
Picking through props and new content. Dani may be interested in the new rose and scattered petals included in RPublishing's Romantic Bedroom.
There is also content included by Flink, under the Nature folder
Blue Tree Camper Van
Under vehicles.. Schuby's Ford tractor:
...and a Mazda and Lancer:
...and best of all, Shurby's '59 Impala, which includes the best firefly car mats
...which can be found under Materials, Schurby....with this one option, you can transform even the dullest old model into a shiny new vehicle with the paint, chrome, tire rubber and glass options. This is fantastic content !
...and finally under vehicles, we have Schurby's big Snow Truck:

Sorry I disappeared Maja....my internet connection is going in and out with all the downloading, and at a moment's notice, it just goes off and then I can't get it back for awhile. Hope you're still doing okay with P11.2 installation...
No problem. I was bussy, anyway. P11.2 is working fine so far. There's an issue with La Femme and cylcles. The eyebrows are on seperate polygons very close to the head mesh, what makes an unwanted color effect with cycles subsurface scattering. That's tricky. Don't know if I can fix it without loosing the scatter look. Have to explore that.

How do you get the thumbnails bigger? I slid it to the max size but they don't change.

Never mind...I was in the "Details" tab and not the "List" tab. Got it.

I love the Romantic Bedroom and petals. Happy about that and I don't have Flink's mossy rocks. The potted plants are a nice new addition, also...especially the ones in the barrel planter.

Hey Dani Thought you'd like the flowers and nature content And glad you figured out the large thumbnails....that's wonderful...now I can actually see the thumbnail instead of just getting a little hint of what it is. I used to see stuff pretty good in Poser 7, but those days have been gone for a long time.
And Janet, if you find your Poser cat stuff, sure, I'd upload it for you, with a statement of permission, and being in your name....if that's what you want. I've been surprised at the response to the Poser Housecat, but several have said that they had never seen poses for him at all....and as I think about it, it's true. The Poser gray tabby was the only animal that had nothing at all...no poses, no skins, no nothing....he was truly just a stray cat...so that's why I adopted him and gave him a little love. One of the poses was for you especially....when your cat kept you up all night staring at you...haha...it's called Cat PC Peek....he loads upside down, as if he's peeking into your monitor....haha.
