Checking the normal map texture generated for the area, we can see the problem: Most of the vertex normals for the cell are simply wrong. The vectors probably point wrong and/or do not have a length of 1. Unless the vertex height map changes, there should typically be no change to the vertex normals (maybe CK changes the vectors sometimes where the numbers are slightly different, but it should be like this). It is not clear to me why the patch contains the LAND record in the first place, as only Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods.esp contains it but Northern Roads.esp doesn't, so there is nothing to patch between the two. Maybe the patch was made for older versions of the mods. I would either remove the record from Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods.esp or drag and drop the vertex normals from the Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods.esp to Northern Roads - Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods patch.esp Same for cell -23 - 2 I suggest to report to the problem to the patch author. Hi Sheson, Thank you for the detailed explanation. This will help a lot should I encounter similar issues in the future. In SSEEdit I deleted the specific problem record from Northern Roads - Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods patch.esp and re-enabled the patch. Everything looks good. I will let the team at the Northern Roads Patch Collection know. Is it OK if link to this discussion? Thanks again.

You seem to be using an older version. Delete the xLODGen folder and download the latest version from first post. Error check the load order in xEdit. In particular check all plugins that overwrite the mentioned CELL record and the LAND record contained within for unresolved form ID or other errors. Upload new logs and bugreport.txt if problem persists.

This is still happening with no mods enabled whatsoever at all, as well as with only UFO4P, SKSE scripts and address library enabled. I'm finding reference not found errors in the game masters but I understand I don't want to and in fact can not just go around editing game masters willy nilly.

It sounds like your game install is corrupt if that is the case.
drift123 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I remember in the past it was possible to bake the 2d grass textures into the terrain LOD textures to create the impression of grass at a distance? The fancy grass LOD with Dyndolod is just too taxing with all the mods I have installed, so I'd like to try this as an alternative. I'm just having trouble remembering what settings are involved with this method (or if it's a false memory). Also I'm already using the HD terrain noise texture, from what I remember the grass baking was something different.

You used a mod that included special landscape textures for terrain LOD generation.

PegasusKoga Posted June 13 Posted June 13 (edited) So i have the pre next gen update version of Fallout 4 on GOG and MO2 as my mod manager, the A Forest mod as my mod for landscape and i would like to know if it is even possible to use XLodGen in this very specific scenario? Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to run XLodGen through MO2 and which command lines to use to point XLodGen to Fallout 4 GOG? I know i'm making this needlessly complex but my Fallout 4 Steam looked absolutely fabulous after i was done with the tool and i really want to give Fallout 4 GOG the same treatment.

I know i'm making this needlessly complex but my Fallout 4 Steam looked absolutely fabulous after i was done with the tool and i really want to give Fallout 4 GOG the same treatment. From the first post or the Readme.txt included in the download archive: Use command line arguments to set the paths to the INI folder, plugins.txt and the data folder if required. For example: -m:"c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\" -p:"c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\plugins.txt" -d:"c:\GOG Games\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\Data\" xLODGen is a tool mode of xEdit, so it is setup is the same way. Read the documentation of the mod manager to learn how to use it. https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer/wiki/Executables-window. 1
