Distant objects issue

[Leonhart1998]

Hi everyone,

I recently modded Skyrim (SE) but I have an inconvenience with object distance:

I installed DynDOLOD but it seems it isn't working fine,
Do you have any ideas regarding this issue? I use LOOT, BethINI,  SSEEdit, and MO2

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this situation.

Why do you believe the generated LOD "is not working"? Where there errors in the generation log or shown in the game?

 

What is the supposed issue? You might want to reduce the tree LOD brightness, but otherwise tree and object LOD seems to be working.

 

From the DynDOLOD FAQ: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees do not match close-up full model trees 

 

A: If the billboard tree LOD seems overly dark or bright, use the tree LOD brightness setting on the advanced options to account for lighting changes made by ENBs or weather mods. 

 

A: Doublecheck billboards and billboard load order. Open console, click on full model tree to get form id like 000185C7. Lookup this FormID top left in xEdit, bringing up the tree reference in the right pane. Find the form id of the 'NAME - Base', like TreeAspen01 [TREE:0006A9E6]. Search in Textures\Terrain\LODGen\ subfolders for files with that number, like TreeAspen01_0006A9E6.dds and TreeAspen01_0006A9E6.txt. Replace files with correct versions. 

 

A: The DynDOLOD log will print a detailed list for each tree which billboard (and 3D LOD model if applicable) it is using. Use the base form id like 0006A9E6 to easily find the entries in the log. 

 

A: Find better matching billboards for the tree mods or create them. See this video

That's what I mean, but I will try adjusting LOD brightness, it seems that is the problem. Even though the grass doesn't look right, it doesn't appear until I get closer. Do you have any ideas regarding this?

Btw I used this tutorial: https://youtu.be/RRlcZT5crgM?t=2722 

Thank you in advance.

I suggest to read the included manual. If you have questions about a third party guide, you need to ask the author of that guide.

 

DynDOLOD generates tree and object LOD. Grass has no LOD and only renders in the loaded cells.

 

Use a terrain LOD mod like Cathedral Landscapes that mimics grass on the terrain LOD textures. You can use it's pre-made terrain LOD textures or generate them yourself with xLODGen (requires to install special textures just for generation). Always generate terrain LOD meshes and occlusion with xLODGen for your load order.
