I'm not really sure on the shadow, but the seamline looks like a mesh split to me. I would go into blender and turn the view for solid and look for a crack in that area and then use alm and merge at center on the vertices that are close together.

It was the lowers LODs, go figure :p I haven't yet fixed the necklace shadow though.. |

Hi Kouukie! Is this a custom necklace or Maxis? If it's CC, can you share a link where to download it? |

Kouukie do you want to use this top with necklaces but you don't want to see this kind of shadow? I was able to remove the shadow but all necklaces will be sinking into the top anyway. Let me know if you want me to explain how to remove the shadow, I will need to make some screenshots. Regarding shadow size I believe that it happens due to the size of uv map. Your uv map is smaller than EA's and has a different shape, that's why necklace shadow looks different than shape of necklace.

I don't want necklaced to be used with the shirt but I would like to know how to get rid of the shadow please! An how is that? I made my textures 2048x4096! :p |

Kouukie sorry it took so long. Here is the way to get rid of necklace shadow. It's not a tutorial, more like a quick "How to". 1. Open the same package in 2 windows for easy copying and pasting some information. Go on Warehouse tab and click geometry entries, find 4 the same looking meshes.  2. I didn't experiment with different groups of meshes, just the group that contains mesh of the chest. Click on the first geometry entry and click on Data tab on the left.  3. You will need to copy/paste Group, Instance and Type of each of 4 geometry entries to Region Map resource. Open the same package in different window, open Warehouse and find Region Map, click edit items. Region map tells the game how to treat certain part of meshes when you pair them in the game. For example high knee boots and jeans.  4. Press Add to add new line, on the right choose NecklaceShadow in region type. In "layer" line enter 400. After these steps press "edit items".  5. New window will be opened. Press Add to add new line, it will contain all zeros.  Now you need to enter all group, instance and type numbers from 4 meshes that we noted at the beginning. Instance and type numbers will be the same, only group number is different in these 4 meshes if you noticed. So to make it easier you can add the first line, copy-paste group-instance-type and then press "copy" 3 times to copy this entry. You will need to change only group number in each entry.  Press "Save" in the right lower corner. It's important. Then you can save your package Hopefully this "how to" is clear...
