Good hunch, you should buy a lotto ticket.. I disabled the Bashed Patch and ASIS(which uses Bashed Patch as a master) and it's getting further than it did before. Will update if/when it completes.. which usually takes an hour or two. This might have something to do with me using the latest beta Wrye Bash build. It hasn't had any problems yet, but I should have pointed the finger at the beta product first and investigated... haha. Do you think generating LODs without Bashed Patch & ASIS enabled - enabling them again afterwards - would have any issues? I can't think of too many reasons why it would, but I'm no expert. I just like to tinker.
