yes, and yes. but for some reason after reinstalling FOLIP which was the one thing I had yet to think of trying it worked now. so thanks for getting back to me with the questions you asked that made me reinstall it. although I'm also having an issue with texgen. it keeps giving me this error,
Textures\DLC03\lod\Landscape\Trees\RedPineHalf01_s.dds.
and I'm not quite sure why. my landscape mod's BA2s LODs are extracted into a separate mod in MO2 so that they're loose files and will be read properly, but this seems to be an issue from something else. I have all the LOD fixes that I need such as weston water LOD fix for example. and like my last post said I have already verified my game files, so I don't think it's that either. do you or anyone else have an idea?
