Why this thread? You have another thread asking the same question, man.

 

Go to the mod page where you got the body type and read what it suggests to use for textures. It may even have links to suitable textures. If you get a weird shadow on a body, like across the boobs or ass, it means the texture you're using is for a different body type.

Hey thanks for the reply.

I created another one, because its unsolved and i don't know how to fix it.

So where is the mod page? can you please link it to me. And i also don't know what texture to use.

The location of that visible seam is directly along the UV seam. That means one of two things is happening.

 

1. The texture is bad. It's possible that one or more of the skin textures getting loaded for this body was designed for a different UV standard, and so the texture doesn't blend from one side of the UV seam to the other.

 

2. The body has bad vertex normals. Vanilla Skyrim skin meshes shouldn't have vertex normals, but for one reason or another, many modded Skyrim bodies have vertex normals. *Unfortunately*, if the vertex normals aren't generated properly, you'll end up with a nasty visible seam along the UV seam. To fix this, open the body nif in nifskope, right click on the mesh, and select mesh->Face Normals.

Where did you get the body type from? Go there and look at it's description. There may even be a readme.txt file with it that has information (most mods do).

 

This is another case where reading descriptions and readmes are able to save a lot of frustration. You really do need to read those things with any mod you plan on using.

Tanning with a bikini does that to you.

 

Seriously, it looks like either a problem with how the mesh handles normals or someone remixed textures and didn't have the leg/bottom part flow properly into the torso/abdomen part on the texture itself. Or.. rolling over from laughing, that skin really does have an intentional bikini tan.

So it turns out I mispoke earlier. Nifskope *does not* automatically mend bad normals on UV seams.

 

Fortunately, I recently wrote a tool for an entirely different purpose that can be used to automatically mend bad vertex normals along UV seams.

 

I'll be uploading it to it's own thread later this week, but I'd be happy either to fix the mesh or send you a copy of the tool.

 

As an aside...it's a tool that can be used to automatically mend *or* break vertex normals along UV seams. This may sound like a stupid thing to do, but if you bust the vertex normals on a nif, you can import it into Blender and not have the UV seam doubles eliminated during export. This is *extremely* useful if you want to maintain vertex counts.
