That's a good point and something I hadn't considered (consulting the 2.X threads) -- I'll do that, and give the docs another thorough re-read. Thanks! I only began modding this year, so the absorption of knowledge is taking some time. Getting there though! In the meantime, re: the overwritten large reference/disabled large reference warnings I'm getting, is the solution to flag the conflicting plugins as ESLs? Or simply disable them before running DynDOLOD? Or am I not even in the right ballpark? I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered many times before

Sheson, thanks for your response. The two posts you linked here were actually the only two mentions of these warnings I could find when I first started looking into this, and neither shed much light on how to fix the issues. (One of them is essentially you saying "yeah, these are errors and you should fix them.") And while I've read through all of the DynDOLOD documentation, it's very technical for someone who doesn't have a lot of prior experience with how the Skyrim engine works. (SkyrimSE-LargeRefGrid.html is particularly tough to get a handle on.) What may seem self-explanatory to you, the creator of DynDOLOD, is not so for some of us. It's certainly not your job to explain or teach this stuff to anyone -- it's the user's responsibility to understand how this extremely useful (and free) piece of software works. And the fact you're so active and responsive on this forum is commendable. But with most areas of knowledge -- languages, science, whatever -- there are tons of resources geared towards all kinds of levels of experience that people can tap into. With Skyrim LOD generation in general and DynDOLOD in particular, I haven't yet found the knowledge resources that bridge the gap between newb-friendly YouTube tutorials and the very comprehensive and technical nature of your documentation. (In fact, most places suggest posting here and asking for help when running into trouble.) But I'll keep looking and trying to learn. Thanks again for the reply.

Hi gang (and Sheson). I've suffered in silence on this one for a while as I tried to figure out a solution on my own, but I just haven't been able to make any progress because I'm still fairly new to modding. (My logs are linked here, but I've boiled the issue down as best I can below, in case you don't want to slog through them): DynDOLOD Logs My problem is that whenever I run DynDOLOD (3.00 Alpha33), I get literally hundreds of warning messages, mostly of two types. I'm hoping someone can tell me in relatively simple terms what these warnings mean. 1) I get hundreds of "Warning: Overwritten large reference in..." messages, mostly relating to environment mods -- JK's Skyrim, The Borders of Skyrim, Realistic Water Two, Depths of Skyrim, and a few others. A couple examples: <Warning: Overwritten large reference in JKs Skyrim.esp [REFR:00012DF6] (places Farmhouse02 [STAT:00000846] in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of Riverwood04 [CELL:00009731] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at 5,-12))> <Warning: Overwritten large reference in tposcthebordersofskyrim.esp [REFR:000EE3F7] (places MountainTrim01_LightSN [STAT:00030204] in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of [CELL:000090B2] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at 25,8))> 2) I also get dozens of "Warning: Initially disabled large reference in..." messages, all related to Realistic Water Two. One example: <Warning: Initially disabled large reference in RealisticWaterTwo - Resources.esm [REFR:000BB9E9] (places RockCliff02Rocks01 [STAT:0002BABB] in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of [CELL:000090D2] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at 24,7))> I've been able to successfully generate DynDOLOD output in the past without any issues at all, and I can't figure out what's changed since then. Also, everything *seems* to be working fine in-game -- good LODs, minimal pop-in, nothing out of the ordinary. But clearly there's some sort of error on my part. Can someone who fully understands DynDOLOD (which I clearly do not) tell me what's happening to generate these warnings, so that I can set about trying to fix them? I feel like it's something really obvious that I'm doing wrong. Many, many thanks!
