From the FWIW Department: Currently we have 22 Merges in this Build. I don't know how anyone else is managing them to reduce the chance of accessing the wrong MO2 profile, or add a mod to the wrong Merge. My method is simple, and works for me: (1) I added the name of the Merge to every Mod that is scheduled to be added to that Merge. For example: "Lock Overhaul-14927-1-6" was renamed "Lock Overhaul-14927-1-6 -(Heads Up Display Merged)-""Simple AUA.7z-1882-3-0" was renamed "Simple AUA.7z-1882-3-0 -(Miscellaneous Merged)-""Hold Border Banners-1737-1-1" was renamed "Hold Border Banners-1737-1-1 -(Landscape Environment and Clutter Merged)-"(2) When I wanted to work on any Merge, I made my 'Legacy of The Dragonborn - Special Edition' active and entered the full Merge name (without the " marks) in MO2's left-pane name filter window, filtering from view all mods not a part of that Merge. (3) When I switched to the desired Merge, the filtering was still active, making it far less likely I added an unwanted Mod to the Merge.

I've done that 3 times since I started following this Guide: I'd double-check everything, go back over the directions AGAIN, walk away from the KB and come back after a break to clear my mind, etc., etc. and finally decide to start from scratch, carefully following directions and instructions. It happens.

I checked my system logs, and I need to install textures smaller than 4K for some mods. Just on the simple run through Riverwood, my GPU pegged at 4GB near Alvor's.

I found the exact same error right where you said you found it in your DynDOLOD log. My FPS varied between 35 and 50 running in the rain from the bridge near Riverwood to the other end of town. Going up the hill from Helgen in the woods I get a fairly steady 45 FPS. I got a LOT of screen tearing during the Run through Riverwood.

I'm wondering why your run was 11 minutes longer than mine.

DarkladyLexy, sirjesto has a good point: since the main and update files have the same version number, the update file doesn't need to be installed at this time. The mod author's installation introductions are ambiguous: "To install the mod, download the Main file and any update files from the download section. In MO2 or NMM, install the core package FIRST, then install the update over the top. Your installation is good if you have the 3 mod files; LegacyoftheDragonborn.esp, LegacyoftheDragonborn.bsa and LegacyoftheDragonborn - Textures.bsa." The first sentence tells you to install the core package first and the update file over that so that they merge into one. The second sentence says the 3 files mentioned constitute a good installation, which is what you get if you install only the core package.

They look good to me. I just followed them, and SSE started right up. Oh, DynDOLOD took just over 22 minutes to run for me ([00:22:35.495] DynDOLOD Worlds completed successfully.). Just a thought: I remember something (can't seem to find it) about not having anything except TEXGen/DynDOLOD and your Mod Manger app running for TEXGen and DynDOLOD execution.

I'll second that, and I installed SAFO's health regeneration version from the start.

... and I, for one, am very grateful that you did decide to take a gander at SSE. Seeing this Guide grow in the last month has been quite an experience. I'm glad I found out about it just after you 'made it official'.

DarkladyLexy, Weather Systems Merged's File to Merge section doesn't list (Vivid Weathers - Definitive Edition)'s primary ESP (Vivid WeathersSE.esp). Should we add it to the Merge? Do we cut and paste the 3 patch files (Vivid Weathers SE - Bruma Patch.esp, Vivid Weathers SE - Falskaar.esp, Vivid Weathers SE - LightingDuringStorm Patch.esp) to a separate folder for the merge?

DarkladyLexy, Faces Merged's merge directions tell us that the left pane placement of the merged ESP mod is directly after 'KS Hairdos - Renewal', which isn't in the Build. 'KS Hairdos SSE', the updated SSE version of 'KS Hairdos - Renewal', is in the Build.

That was my next question. :-)

Are you creating a separate MO2 profile for each merge?

Yea, I saw that, which is why I changed my post to 'Nevermind'.

Nevermind

.

Yes, delete the .BSA file after extracting it to the mod's folder.

DarkladyLexy might tell you differently.

I started a new game as a new Mage Guild member, my PC was placed in the College of Winterhold where I talked to Mirabelle and got the tour.

I'm going to bed. Thanks for all the hard work creating this Build!

DarkladyLexy, I have your "Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition" Build installed, merged, patched, DynDOLOD'd and running.

I think the directions are supposed to read "Place directly after Enhanced Lighting for ENB (ELE) - Special Edition".
