It worked on the first try following your guidance. I can’t thank you enough it looks beautiful on the map. You’re the man, sheson shoutout from Brazil to you

Sorry for the late reply! I'm back now and followed your advice! It worked. With how messy they both were I got rid of the Ninirim and Paraglider mods entirely. I was able to completely clean Jk's Riverfall Cottage Tweaks.esp completely and got through generated object LOD no problem! Thank you so much for your help.

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which entire DynDOLOD log and debug log to upload when making posts. Use search to find existing posts/threads for a message as explained in https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Use-Search https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions Disabling plugins, mods, meshes or textures is a troubleshooting step and not a fix. Whenever you read someone suggesting to disable temporarily something is a fix, ignore them as that does not actually fix anything. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Property-Not-Found-In-Scripts A property (variable) is defined in the reported plugin and record for a papyrus script, but its definition does not exist in the script. A plugin is setting a variable that does not exist in a script. Whatever the plugin sets is not relevant and can be removed if the script/mod/plugin works as intended. This can happen in case scripts are updated or being overwritten. It can be a sign of load order conflicts of two mods requiring different versions of a script or of a mod author not properly error checking and cleaning up after making changes. With MO2 you can quickly check if a script file has conflicts with other mods. Otherwise, the property names (caelia, caeliadress, caeliashoes for example) might help with testing if that part of the mod works as desired or come back to the messages for troubleshooting if you run into a problem with the mod and script related actions. Missing properties are also reported in the papyrus logs as "X does not have a property named Y, property skipped." In case the script property does not exist in the script anymore intentionally, remove the no longer needed entry from the script properties on the mentioned record with xEdit. Usually that would be the mod authors job, but some do not care about their mods filling papyrus logs etc. with error messages they already know not to be relevant. See https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/20485-property-not-found-in-scripts https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Duplicate-Reference Showing the same model twice with exactly the same properties is just wasting resources, in case of animated objects or trees it might even be visually noticeable. If you want to fix that is your choice. The page explains how. Using xEdit that way often becomes second nature when modding for a while. You can always restore a plugin from back up or the download archive. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Reference-Attached-to-Wrong-Cell That would be good to fix to address visual issues, especially if you notice issue with the reported references in the game. While running the xEdit script on plugins to fix it is trivial, it would be best if the mod author addresses it. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Potentially-Wild-Edit-Reference In case the reported reference is not a wild edit but its position is intentional, make a post about it on the official DynDOLOD support forum. Thanks for reporting. The references in NightmarePlane.esp are not wild edits and the next alpha version will not report them anymore. Do not disable the plugin when generating LODs, since it is obviously wrong to disable a plugin just to avoid seeing a warning message about something being potentially a wild edit. It would also be wrong in case they were wild edits as disabling a plugin does not remove the wild edits either as explained. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Textures-Do-Not-Match If and only if there are obvious differences of the textures between full models and LOD models, the log messages can aid in quickly finding the reason. It seems likely you are using ERM which changes a lot of those full models to use different textures. Use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/88754. See https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/20475-textures-do-not-match. If mountain LODs for LOD level 4 look fine in game, nothing needs to be done. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Filename-Does-Not-Adhere-To-File-Naming-Conventions Typically the filename of normal map textures ends in *_n.dds. You have RW2 installed that replaces the reported NIF files. Checking the mentioned texture RWTCalmWater.dds in an image viewer shows us that is it is a normal map texture. Either the mod author made a typo when naming the file or does not care about file naming conventions. You could rename the texture and edit the couple NIFs with NifSkope if you do want to see the warning.

Worked like a charm, thanks again!!

I uploaded a new test version that hopefully should run through.

Yeeees, it seems to work!! I did a quick test with just Tamriel LOD (without occlusion) and I'm getting perfect results with LOOT/autosort, no cyclic rules whatsoever! Thank you so much!!

Get the test version from https://mega.nz/folder/JdpU1KZB#cYTSPK6NW2CSbGrvQ-w_6A. If the issue persists, upload new logs and DynDOLOD.esm. A somewhat quicker test run with just Tamriel, object LOD, standard tree LOD and dynamic LOD would be enough.

Seems I should edit the title of this discussion because it looks like I will be using the Step CR Patch. I think I've managed to remove the need for the most of the Creations leaving just Survival and Saint's & Seducers. At Your Own Pace - College of Winterhold, Vrokii - Minimalistic Perks of Skyrim and Odin - Skyrim Magic Overhaul have also been cleaned from the patch after going through looking through it closely. Fingers crossed it'll hold up! I was planning to clean more but I learnt more about Atlas Map Markers so with the settings and a patch came to a way to use it. I also saw that with Alternate Start there is still an option to begin the game on the Wagon into Helgen... so if that's the case why am I trying to work to remove it just so I can start my next game that way? So far almost everything is Step Guide v2.3, except for a few skipped mods and none of the optional choices, and I loaded the game everything seems to be working. It is before Step 5 so there is no grass cache but everything looks good. I think the next steps before that are to now finish setting out the mods I'm going to use that come from outside the Step Guide, when that's all set up and my collection of Step Apocrypha is done and working together nicely I'll move on to Step 5.

The log still reports deleted references for a handful of plugins, including Jk's Riverfall Cottage Tweaks.esp. In case cleaning does not remove them, remove the deleted references manually from the plugin with xEdit (right click, remove). https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Deleted-Reference If a master record is deleted (or permanently disabled via the enable parent opposite to player) and it is not referenced by any other record, it can most likely be removed from the plugin entirely.
