Odd occurance with official breed packs.

Earlier today I noticed something particularly odd about how the official breed packs interacted with third party breeds, I was having an issue where no matter how many times I removed the body data on the offending slot, the body data issues with third party breeds kept coming back.

The odd thing was that I had the official breed agents installed in both the c3 and DS directories and that removing the agents from one of the directories (either one) stopped the apparently endless issue, I hadn't even had to uninstall the body data again for the umpteenth time, just ridding the agent made the third party breed look normal (though you will always need to remove the body data from the effected ettin and grendel slots each time you load a mall breed from an egglayer.)

What I'm wondering is how often this sort of occurrence is, does repeating these steps fix anyone elses' issues? If we find a reproducible problem with a reproducible solution then this could be very useful fo many others.

Note:
If you'd rather use an egglayer for your mall breeds there are alternative Egg agents for Hardman, Treehugger, Toxic and Bondi norns here, all they do is inject the official genome.

AmberCreatures has colourful and genome-swapped versions of every single official breed. I found the extra atts and conflict clearer application to be useless in my scenario.

Saw your Bibble before I saw this. I don't think it's your setup or anything like that.

The game consistently refuses to recognize regular agents that have the same name in C3 and DS. This is a known occurrence to anyone who develops for both games. It doesn't like identical duplicates, and if there are two agents with the same name, they won't show up on the injector in-game... that's why people put things in their agents' titles like "My Agent Name (C3)", so that DS has a way to distinguish the two versions.

It makes perfect sense that the issue would affect breed packs too, since they are just another kind of agent.

The breed pack eggs and objects were showing up in the egglayer and object injector just fine, though it might be related.
