AO is on the IBL only, right? If it's on your other lights, don't do that.
The AO can be adjusted. The AO Strength can be changed, on the light properties. There are other AO properties too, like the distance it looks, the number of samples it uses, etc. I like to use 7 samples for a final render.
Also, are you using the VSS skin with material-based AO as well as light-based AO? If you are, don't do both. Light-based AO will work for your whole scene, and is often a good idea. If you're doing that, use the VSS control prop that does not have AO built into it. If you're using both, it overdoes the effect.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
