I hadn't experienced it myself, as I had no reason to regenerate terrain LOD, since landscape data is baked into the precombine. Also, I always did object lod, then terrain LOD, or all at once, so the sequence of steps to reproduce was unclear. 

Should be fixed in beta 109

Thanks. Tested and it worked perfectly.

I have a Issue right now, And the issue is this, I've installed 
Seasons of Skyrim 
Turn of the Seasons 
Four Seasons - Faster Seasons of Skyrim 2
Simplicity of Seasons 
Seasons of Nolvus 
I Run this through Mod Organizer, https://ibb.co/pnDZfHY

And Season isn't Highlighted when the Seasons have been Installed, I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

Upload the SSELODGen_log.txt

Is the screenshot showing anything in addition to what you already have explained in the text?

Seasons-Readme.txt
The feature requires season swap files in Data\Seasons\*[SPR|SUM|AUT|WIN].ini.
A season only becomes available if swaps for it have been found and loaded successfully.

Looking at the image, I am not sure what you are asking? Do you mean the Worldspace list on the left? You can right-mousclick on that list and "select all" to get them all selected. Other than that, there is no mention of Seasons in xLODGen.

Other than that, form that image, you still have to set the appropriate settings for xLODGen. You can find the explanation and settings here.

Lastly, I see you have "Seasons of Nolvus" installed. If you are using Nolvus, you should be using the settings suggested from there. Nolvus is a completely different mod guide, for a different outcome. As such, STEP is more or less incompatible/ redundant when using the Nolvus mod guide.

How you don't understand what I am asking lol, Do you see Seasons Highlighted at the bottom middle. You see Seasons right??? Why I can't use that option when I've installed seasons is what I am asking???

xEdit/xLODGen save the messages log in the same folder where the xEdit/xLODGen.exe is.

An OS like Windows also has a search file feature to find files.

Do you see At the Bottom Middle Seasons??? Do you see me having a option to click on it??? That is the Issue, I can't use it for some reason when I have all the Seasons that is required Installed, That is my issue.

The link you gave me???

 "Do not check the Seasons checkbox to simply generate the Default season."

But their is nothing to check is my issue.

I already Ran the first run through with everything, Try to see if it would highlight itself but It didn't.

"he feature requires season swap files in Data\Seasons\*[SPR|SUM|AUT|WIN].ini."

What does this mean??? Do I have to manually do something???

 

This is my argument for Lodgenx.

You wrote that Season is disabled. Is there any additional information or problem that the screenshot shows? Is there any reason for me to try to load it and look at it on a small mobile device for anything else? It sounds like it simply shows what you already wrote.

Use the latest version of XLODGen form the first post.

The path of xLODGenx64.exe reported by the SSELODGen_log.txt you uploaded is S:\Spectical Anniversary\STOCK GAME 2\Data, which does not match the binary path shown in theMO2 screenshot. The log shows a file not found error message which seem not relevant. You probably upload an old outdated SSELODGen_log.txt and not the one that should be in S:\Spectical Anniversary\TOOLS\xLODGen\New folder\xLODGen\

For the season checkboxes to become available, there needs to be at least one INI file for a season in the (virtual) game data folder as explained. You can check this via MO2 right window data tab. Then unfold the [+] Seasons folder. If Seasons Of Skyrim has been installed and the game started once, there should be a MainFormSwap_WIN.ini for example.

If MO2 shows INI files in the Seasons folder, then make sure that MO2 is setup for the game to be at S:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\ (the path reported by the SSELODGen log you uploaded) or update the Windows registry entry for the game to point to the desired game data folder that MO2 has been setup for, or add the -d command line argument to point xLODGen to the correct data folder.

EDIT: I stand corrected. See Sheson's post above ^

I've done a bit of testing to find some way to add noise that looks good for the majority of terrain surfaces.  I came up with the following settings during generation that seem to work well with vanilla noise texture and also uploaded a more detailed noise texture at Nexus Mods.

Brightness: 20
Contrast: 30
Gamma: 0.70

If the noise is sufficient from the noise texture I've also found that using the 'bake normal maps' is not needed and disabling it gives a better matching terrain LOD.
