Sorry that this took me a minute to get back to you!
I did download Notepad++ and managed to follow along to a point.
1)Redownloaded the PW for G8F
2) Copied the Content Folder into the GP G8M folder directly
3) Opened Notepad++, used the Directory selector to select this as the directory to find the folder that I made -
C:\Users\karma\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Male\Anatomy\Golden Palace v2
4) Clicked "Find", put in GoldenPalace_2254_GP_ and in the "Replacew with" box, I put GoldenPalace_G8M_2254_GP_
5) Went back into Daz, loaded up the G8M, loaded up his GP. Added the GoldenPalace_Shell_Majora to him per the instructions that you'd normally follow for the G8F.
6) Selected a glossiness option then went into Nvidia mode to see it, and it's not there (I'm just an idiot)
There's a hiccup in my process somewhere, I'm still working to find out what/where it is. But thank you for helping with this thus far!
