What do you recommend to gain more generator parts?

[Lodreus]

From what I've found I can either download two DLC's on generator parts for this game, but I wont get a lot from it. Or, I can download MV's DLC's and move them across but I would need to rename them.

The second option sounds better as I already own MV and there's more resources to be found on MV. However, I dislike how time consuming it is and how MZ lacks these DLC's is a huge red flag for anyone to buy this RPG Maker.

I found this video where his MZ containned 3000+ with MV and unofficial parts from RPG Maker forum - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTCatBAfN_8&ab_channel=SigmaSuccour

Does anyone know if MV body and clothes parts work in MZ? I assume all you do is rename it and that's it?

I believe they fixed the file naming issue in MZ's generator, and part no longer need to be numbered a certain way.
However MZ and MV use different base templates. And there's no "body type" selection. The Side-View battlers look nearly identical except they're posed differently, so MV parts will NOT match MZ.

The MV Trinity DLC for MZ is practically useless if you don't already have MV's generator to import it into. Or have skills with photo editing software.
Edit: The DLC page says you can use the assets by "switching out" the files. Which is ridiculous and tedious.
I don't know who to be mad at. The Devs, for not including the ability to change resource libraries? Or whoever decided to sell MV Trinity resources with not-MV?

Do you think it's worth moving to MV because it has all of the generator parts dlc?

Hell no! I was under the impression that the Japanese parts are included in MV Trinity. If I'm wrong let me know. But they're selling the Japanese generator parts in 3 overpriced sets.
Maybe that's why MV Trinity's DLC page has no screenshots or promotions.
Or maybe that's why they CAN'T sell MV Trinity on the MV, because it would mean taking those others down.

Other than that, I think the only other Generator DLC there is, is the Beastman Set. Which doesn't look very professional.

I've seen that and it looks meh. I'm disappointed as I can't continue my project when the engine lacks so much parts.

I am surprised the MZ hasn't added any more Gen parts for it which has been very disappointing for me. It also seems as if the community for RPG MZ isn't and wasn't as active as MV.

Exactly my thought. I noticed how quiet this community as well, but I thought it may have been due to the slow transition of people moving across from MV to MZ, but that doesn't seem to be it. From my understand this MZ should've been an update for MV. Not a copy and paste with a new name title.

I got in touch with the Youtuber who done the above video and I asked him if he had to re-arrange any parts to make it work and his response was:

"They don't match in style. (So you may not be fully able to use them together, while creating a character.)
They do match technically, in their dimension. (So you can add them to the same generator. And use them on each other.)

I did not make any adjustments to body parts"

I think another issue is Yanfly is gone and VisuStella has done a great job with plugins but because they're obfuscated, they don't work well with the community plugins. So its VisuStella plugins or the communities, take your pick.

I actually like MZ better than MV but you can port just about everything to either or except for the generator parts.
