Okay, I'm stumped~!! I've got the actual top the way I want it, without the benefit of a new mesh to enhance the bow on the back, but I really don't like this ultra shiny light effect ... and I have no idea why it is even there! Would anyone have any insights for me? This is not something I have had happen before. Left side of image is the S4S view of the top, as I want it. Center is the CAS view with the light effect, and right side is the game generated thumbnail view that also includes the weird light effect.  |

Hi! you have to edit your specular textures accordingly. export it (you'll have both textures). edit the rgb to black and leave the alpha channels untouched. remember, if there's alpha save as dds dxt5 with alpha, if not then dtx1 no alpha. if you don't know how to do this then you can grab these blank speculars: simfileshare.net/folder/28125/. I highly suggest you learn to do this yourself in case you want to create custom speculars. |

I do intend on creating originals again, and you are right, it is good to learn to do things by oneself. Edit: Oops, it appears I can't download the links you shared. It gives me an internal server error when I try. |

Thank you inabadromance, I agree, the server was likely down. I have downloaded the files to save for another time, but I also took your advice and learned how to create the lighting on purpose/avoid inadvertent lighting for the next time I come across this issue. <3 As a result, I have made the CAS item I was working on as an exclusive download on my creator page. I've one mesh uploaded, and now learned this neat trick for lighting, I swear this forum is absolutely the best. |

Offtopic, but Simfileshare has been having problems with the server for weeks now. There're extreme loading times in downloads and creators cannot upload files. I do hope they sort it out soon! |
