Unwanted shininess and shadows and specular map gone wrong

[woodies]

Hello



I have been working on this ottoman for a few days now and I cant seem to figure it out.

There is an unwanted shadow and shine on the sides of the ottoman

Here is the image of the specular and bump maps

What I was trying to do is create a simple bump map and specular map for the mesh so I could share it on to the TSR (the sims resource)
But as you can guess it was unturned down due to the specular map being wrong. I've looked at a few references to try and 
fix the problem.
blog.thesimsresource.com/how-to-create-specular-images-for-the-sims-4/ 

but the shadow and the shininess just do not want to go away -
no matter how many times I load the game with a new specular map in dds (dxt5) format

I was considering a blank spec but I don't know if TSR would allow that :/ 
RIP me don't know any more 
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi. TSR has its own section of the forum meant for helping creators. They are going to make money off your content, the least they can do is help you fix it.
