Specular Map going Haywire and Clipping Issues

as you said your specular is wrong
remember that it has a bright part and another that is the mask

your specular should be something like this (may vary)

reread this: sims4studio.com/thread/4324/tutorial-detailed-guide-create-clothing


where is the alpha channel of the normal map?

you have to go to the channels part and create one

You have to stay like this:



in the tutorial it tells you how to create it too



the steps you did for your normal map were fine

however you did not create the alpha channel and therefore you did not use the tutorial command

and therefore you did not copy the red channel as I had been told
I suggest you review those steps

I suppose your uv is already fine (because inabadromance has given you advice n-n)
your shadow is still wrong

Remember that you do not have to notice much

in the tutorial it says it

that is to say that you go to your texture. PNG (says that)

and then save it with the name of your file

paddingadult_shadows

Go to the little fx icon and choose color overlay  as a color choose the color with hex: bdbdbd and click ok.

Click Ctrl + J to duplicate that layer(or duplicate layer option), go to the original layer, the one that is on the bottom now, click again and choose stroke, then on the menu from the left click blending option, and make the fill opacity 0% as shown on part B of image 14.

Now go back to stroke tab, make sure it is checked, choose the color white and size should be between 3 to 6 (like shown on part C), just test it on your model to find out better number for you, now un-check the color overlay on the menu from the left and click ok. save your file and you done.

your shadow should be like this now: 

Did you redo your specular?


If you do not want the diaper to shine then do not shine


Anyway, the item is broken ... could it be a problem of uv? I do not know ... that should be explained by someone who knows uv

I redid the UV maps according to those instructions and I am happy to announce that the issues have gone away. However, I do have to remake the maps and reweight everything. After that, these should be ready to go.

Is there a tutorial to make the custom mesh's UVs better?

umm why would you need to re do anything if that's already done?

please share the updated blend to check that the uv_1 is correct. I don't feel it's quite right from seeing the image.

one thing is the uv_0 and another is the uv_1. these two are two different independent things. your uv_0 is perfectly fine. what the video tutorial creates it's new uv_1.you don't have to modify anything or re map anything on your own. just follow what the video tutorial says and what I've written above.

Please show a picture of the issue in game and share the updated blend file and package so someone can take a look.
