Hey again 
I've been following slyd's tutorial on creating normal maps for clothing, and it all goes well (it seems) until I open the game. I've had this issue on everything I've made so far, which means that nothing I've made has a proper working normal map- which is a shame. So I thought instead of holding off finding a fix I should just sort it out now.
So ingame, when i use the clothing, it looks weird and just bugs out, and obviously I've done something wrong.

This is how it looks with no normal map..
Download of the .package (with broken normal) - www.sendspace.com/file/arc5my
Here's the normal maps - imgur.com/a/CgzeI
1 is the original baked map
2 is the map used in the texture (after all the modification is done to it)
3 is the map before the colour/alpha channels are changed
When I was trying to fix this myself, I compared my normal to other normal maps and mine looked like it was missing the detail from the alpha channel. Also, the normal produced is opaque, whereas normals in sims 4 are transparent. I tried messing around with the alpha channel but it still gave the same flat result. I'm confused now that it might be an issue with my photoshop maybe? idk.
But yeah, any insight onto whatever I'm doing wrong would be awesome, this has been really annoying me :P
