Confirmed. Did set it to 0 and got rid of it.. and to my surprise, the shadows don't even look bad with it on 0, as long as the actual shadow resolution is tweaked up. (iShadowMapResolution=4096, iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096, iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096 in my case.) Anyway, thanks :)

Hey, I've been struggling with weird blocky and annoying shadows around my characters neck area (also caused by a hairmod - though the vanilla hairs also gave me SOME blocky shadows around the neck, but not as much as a mod hairstyle) and I kept trying and trying things from skyrimprefs.ini and browsing numerous threads... Eventually someone suggested to change "fShadowBiasScale=0.3" (I had it on 0.3 .. I guess it's the default setting, but not 100% sure) He said "0.400 was the best for me" (Isn't that the same as 0.4..?) Anyway, I ended up trying things and set it on 0.8 and *celebrates* .. FINALLY \o/ They're totally gone.. Well, there was a few shadows on her side (from the long hair) so I raised it just a tad more. So, try putting fShadowBiasScale=1.0" in your skyrimprefs.ini and see if the hair/neck/face shadows go away.. I didn't at least notice anything wrong with the other shadows. So what I ended up changing in skyrimprefs.ini to fix ALL the shadows that bothered me: iBlurDeferredShadowMask=32 (Blurs/softens the jagged sharp edges of shadows. In my skyrimprefs this was 3 - a tutorial recommended 32) (going from 3 to 32 reduced performance by 5.1%, or 2.6 FPS.... Anyway, try anything bigger than 3 - up to 32. ) iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096 (or for better performance 2048) iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=8192 (for better performance 4096) fShadowBiasScale=1.0 (Went from 0.3 to 1.0 - try something between that) iShadowMapResolution=4096 (Really wanted to put this up to 8192, but my fps dropped to SIX (6!) :D Go with 4096 or 2048.. or anything between) Now the shadows have soft nice edges, no shadow blocks on my character, no flickering shadows... Everything else in my skyrimprefs.ini is pretty much like MShoap13's - at least the parts he posted :) ANYWAY, no need to try all of them, just posting any info on the next person who's struggling with these things :DD) Bottom line; Try raising fShadowBiasScale= Hope this helps
