Can anyone explain how explain how FadeTimePoints: actually work? When I read the examples it just rases more questions. Thanks // Examples: // FadeTimePoints Default = // { // SunriseFadeOutBegin = 4.0, // SunriseFadeOutEnd = 5.0, // SunriseFadeInBegin = 5.0, // SunriseFadeInEnd = 6.0, // // SunsetFadeOutBegin = 18.0, // SunsetFadeOutEnd = 19.0, // SunsetFadeInBegin = 19.5, // SunsetFadeInEnd = 20.5

Are there any recommended TexGen settings if I am using the "apply to basic grass" ENB Complex Grass feature? regarding the direct and ambient settings?

Are these changes credible and recommended or could this lead to unintended consequences? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/143341

Hello, 4 SCREENSHOTS LINK I am not sure what has changed on my end. I am using the latest version of Dyndolod 3.0, resources and the DLL. I have also utilized recommended settings here for my INI and Dyndolod. https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/SkyrimSE:2.4 I have attached relevant logs, but I seem to have lost some? LODs. as I just get abrupt pop in on certain object at a somewhat close range. Such as the walls missing on the vanilla Fort Greymore... Or the The briarwood chalet being placed by the Doubt Suspended Quest mod. This was not occurring before so I am not sure what happened or what I did. Tex Gen Log too big to attach from 1 session so uploaded here DynDOLOD_SSE_log.txt DynDOLOD_SSE_Debug_log.txt TexGen_SSE_log.txt DynDOLOD_SSE_ModelsUsed_Tamriel.txt DynDOLOD_SSE_TexturesUsed_Tamriel.txt EDIT: I believe this may have been due to using an older rules/preset ... I was able to correct the issue by loading the high preset and then making some custom changes I wanted.

Thank you, will try those out

Are those recommended in STEP guide considered the best balance of visual and optimization for anyone modding skyrim using dyndolod and HD tree + grass lod? I noticed my current ones are quite different

what is the rule for glaciers? Would this work? LODGen153=glacier,Level0,Level0,Level1,None,FarLOD,Unchanged,1

Just a question, but with Dyndolod 3 is it possible to specific levels for glaciers? I have done this for mountains. LODGen153=mountain,Level0,Level0,Level1,None,FarLOD,Unchanged,1, This makes my mountains look great! Can I apply a similar rule specific to glaciers? since my lod 4-8-16 transition is quite jarring with glaciers.

Is there detailed documentation regarding what types of texture will be borked if in sRGB format. I ran DDS texture informer on my skyrim SE mod list and noticed a few random textures being in sRGB format. a lot of these were gradients and cubemaps... some normal textures, and rarely the diffuse. Should these all be converted to Linear or does it not always matter?

This is caused by Identity Crisis mod likely because of this...

Bizarre problem... The exterior of Castle Volkihar doesn't seem to exist in my game. First noticed when trying to travel with Serana by boat, I'd get a loading screen, then a split second where it looked like I had arrived, then immediately another loading screen and back on the shore in Skyrim by the boat. I used tmm to unlock the map markers and tried fast traveling, exact same result. I also tried coc DLC1VCCourtyardTowerExt and DLC1VampireCastleExterior01 and even COW with worldspace coordinates. It just sends me to some weird limbo on the beach or in the ocean with a very fragmented castle and no other objects around.... any idea what the heck is going on or how to diagnose this? The interior is working fine. edit: from the main menu I can coc to the location fine, but if I start a new game in the abandoned prison via ASLAS. once I select my starting life and then try to coc to that cell then the issue occurs... In case I choose a starting location via new game and put the char into the word - then go to main menu and coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 again from there it will put me the same starting location the new game put my char :/ from menu to riverwood to coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 not working - puts char back to riverwood from menu to coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 worked then to riverwood worked and back to coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 does not worked after riverwood

Mod that added some dwarven automatons do the cell the normally doesn't have em. None of the NPC actors or placed actors had any scripts attached to em... but for some reason the in fighting would freeze or crash the game. sending the to friendly there was no issue. But as soon as the dwarven automatons and the falmer or chaurus would start fighting, game would crash. Only in this cell though.

I've tried like 20-30 different things but no closer to diagnosing it or narrowing it down. I cannot replicate it outside of the temple of xrib currently... seems to happen at random after less than a minute or after a few minutes, with varying/inconsistent crash logs, or a full graphic freeze where i can still hear audio and music as if the game is still going. It seems to happen when engaging falmer, chaurrus and/or mihail's dwarven colossus. hardware monitor indicates everything well within thresholds, even tried spawning 10 colossi and 50 various falmer + chaurrus variants in the forsets by riverwood (which eat a lot more resources on it's own) and couldn't get it to crash or freeze. edit: it seems to be due to the infighting in this cell between dwarven and falmer faction. only at this location though, if i set em as friendly, I can't seem to recreate the crash or freeze. No clue why though typically this cell would not have dwarven automatons in vanilla. pretty much 100% of the time it'll freeze or crash when the colossus and falmer/chaurrus start fighting each other... so far only been able to replicate it in this dungeon.

In the Temple of Xrib I am getting a freeze 50% of the time and a crash 50% that produces a log completely different from the last log. When the game freezes i can still hear music and SFX as if the game is still playing, while graphics are frozen. Doesn't happen every time, but most of the time. Sometimes it occurs when fighting falmer of chaurus on the lower level, though usually it happens once you aggro and engage mihail's dwarven colossi on the upper level. I was also able to replicate this on a different computer with the same mod list + saved game; freeze and random log crash. I tried to spawn multiple falmer, chaurrus and dwarven colossi outside riverwood with the console and was not able to get the game to freeze or crash. Been trying to diagnose all day and have made no progress.

Understandable. I had not tried updating with same version, but I will in the future. I have read instructions for updating on an existing save. Does the same apply to generating from scratch? I guess my concern there is wont the exclusive dyndolod form IDs be different when creating from scratch? … On an existing save isn’t that bad? akin to compacting form records to ESL flag a plugin mid save?
