Hello! First of all, English is not my first language so I will try to explain myself as best as I can, sorry if it's not perfect. I have this problem when I use a sims 4 maxis mesh as a base that does not have 3D and is only painted on the body. Even removing the normal map and shadow map still doesn't fix the problem, many elements in the base game also have this problem, but looking at other CC creators, I see that their creations look good. At first I thought the problem was with the textures, but I cleaned up the edges as much as I could and I still have the same weird white shadow. I tried to check if there was already a post talking about it but I couldn't find it. I add photos and the package. imgur.com/a/SBdUKDdwww.mediafire.com/file/eo4leqg4xhr20wu/topsumertripfixingshadows.package/fileThank you very much!!! |

Hi. Its the normal map. Clone any maxis top, export the blend, open? You'll see that the background is white only behind shadows, everywhere else it is transparent. So you need to recreate that.
If working in dds, make sure to save the file in BC3 ( or DXT5 ) with Interpolated alpha, otherwise the alpha will be lost

I opened it with dds and png format. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I edited a normal map and I added it to the package but I still see the same white lines, they were even in the original item from EA. imgur.com/a/mghODo8 |

My apologies, I was meant to say « shadow map ». Shadow maps have white in them

Do you save this image as BC3 ( or DXT5)? Im unable to recreate the issue in-game, so cannot test, but this is the only thing that is wrong with this package. Try making a shadow map blank and test again . Also, unlike specular, a shadow map should be of the same size as diffuse, so resize it to 2048X4096
Make sure you are seeing the right file in ts4, there should be only one version of this package, no renamed ones |

Are you playing on ultra graphics settings?
Can’t check the file right now but try removing one map at a time with Make blank option and test in-game

If you want to use it with that whole sim specifically, check a shadow map of every cc. It should also have that issue of white background
