Hi everyone!
This is the first time I write on this forum though it’s been a very long time since I signed in. so I apologize for any mistake and I hope I’m writing in the right section!

I’ve been creating clothes and custom meshes for a while using milkshape but now I notice that every time I open and modify a mesh it gets out like this:

I don’t know if you can see it.. but the body shape looks just like Barbie’s and it’s something I can’t stand!
The same goes for the legs and near the neck.. I show you:

Does anybody have an idea of why it’s doing this and how to fix it? Thank’s a lot for any answer! ;)

Looks like you're getting seams where the body mesh parts come together due to broken normals. Make sure you have "autosmooth" unchecked in Milkshape and don't use "smooth all" at any point.

with autosmooth you mean the "auto smoothing group" in Extrude Options? 'cause I've tried but the shape remains just the same. :)

Under the "groups" tab make sure Auto Smooth is unchecked. Your best bet at this point, assuming it was not a hugely insane amount of editing, is starting over -without- that checked, as fixing the existing mesh is probably trickier than re-editing.
