Moving DynDOLOD outside the skyrim folder solved the issue. Thanks. I missed that small detail and thought having it outside program files was good enough. Although now I'm running into another issue. In the screenshot attached, when the "Generate Tree LOD" option is ticked, I get incredibly long load times, as well as a very low framerate. When the option is unticked, it takes much less time to load, and my framerate is much better. Do you have any idea what is causing this?
