Why do i have these weird shadows on my objects? (see arows). I just used cubes to create the mesh and im sure i seamed it correct. In the cataloc picture, you can see the white bookshelf has also some other weird shadows on it. Im not sure, but in the game it wasnt looking like this, so why does the catalog image looks like that? I have also pasted the black swatch in it, and that one looks way too shiny. I have red something in this link: ohmysims404.tumblr.com/post/129846136654/how-to-remove-shine-from-objects-do-it-yourselfIs it true that the specular and bump i have download from a tutorial here, have standard shine like this in them? So would it be a solution to download this fix from the link above? I do not want the shininess for certain objects. I have also included a screenshot from how i replaced the specular and bump, did i do it correct? Cause i cant seem to find the problem with the weird shadows.

Looks like shading on the mesh itself, because its all square geometry select it all, ctrl e and split edges. If you have an object that is more complicated you may have to do it more selectively.
If you select the front faces only and split edges it will probably fix it too (proving its the problem to begin with)
If it dosnt fix it upload the package somewhere and one of us can have a look at it for you.

Clear the thumbnail cache and relaunch the game, it is the just the image of the old one

oops i deleted the image by accident. Is there a way to get it back other than creating a new 3D mesh package file from the main menu?
And could u tell me how to delete the cache?

Save your project (I shut s4s down and relaunch dunno if you have too) go to tools and click on clear thumbnail cache. It dont matter you deleted it, the game generates them.
In game, you need to click on any and all swatches to get them to generate.

oh ok great, so even if the s4s doesnt show them after clearing the cache, in the game they should appear? I have one more question about the shiny objects. The blanc and specular files i have downloaded from the tutorial of this website, are they having standard shine in them? Just like the black bookshelf shows in the images above? If so, how do i get rid of the shine for certain objects? Is this explanation and download any good: www.ohmysims404.tumblr.com/post/129846136654/how-to-remove-shine-from-objects-do-it-yourself? Big thanks for being so amazing as always!

Never mind, i realised the shine on certain objects was also because of not doing 'split edge'. thanks again for you help!
