phew... it seems like you should start with a few tutorials first. Your post sounds like you don't know what you're doing^^
First of all: Andrea is not a g3 character, its a g8.
Second: DAZ is no game creaton engine, it's a tool for character or environment creation.
Third: If you want to create a VN, have a look at renpy or something similar.

If you really want to create a game, you should at least know the basics before you ask for help.

dude i read the tutorials and i know daz3d is not a game creations program im using it to get my characters put together before i start making the game. i will be using either unity or renpy

and yes i know andrea is for G8 not G3 but i looked for her under both listings and she was not in either. I accidently put g3 not 8 sorry

"I will be using either Unity or Ren'py"

You should atleast take care to clearly ask what you want, because it was not clear in your first post xD
do you have the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials installed? They are needed for her to work.

I'm assuming you installed all of the other characters, so you know how to properly install add-ons. Did you use DIM or did you manually install?

Did you restart DAZ/refresh your content library after doing so, also does she show up in smart content tab?

I just installed the model, if you're looking at your characters folder, it should be under "VW Andrea" besides just "Andrea",
Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Characters\Virtual_World\Andrea

first how is that not clear
G3 -> G8 ?
Ingame -> DAZ ?
Clear?

And for the hair: did you apply dforce? Meaning, did you start the dforce simulation or is it out of the box like this?

dForce is a "dynamic cloth simulation", so for the hair it would realistically lay against the character vs. how hair normally is, same with if the character was upside down, the hair would fall how it should in real life, vs. remaining the same. In order to simulate dForce, you need to go to the simulation settings tab and click simulate. This will take a while, you can always play with the simulation settings to try and get a quicker simulation.

Negative gravity will mean the hair would go upwards, try resetting to defaults and simulating to see if it's an issue with DAZ, or your settings.

You're clicking the simulate button, right? I don't see why this would be happening.
