Hi. Clone any maxis pants and export the normal map, then compare it to yours. You'll see that the maxis normal map is not shrunk vertically, it is cut. So you need to cut out the top portion to make your image 1024x1024 instead of shrinking the original rectangular image to that size

Maxis normal maps are not shrunk vertically, they are cropped out.

Textures for ts4 are rectangular while the uv space in any 3d software is square by default. You need to export the normal map from substance painted in 1024x2048 and crop out the top half
