This is the problem. Find the source of those textures to determine if it is from a mod. Otherwise, sheson may need to add an exclusion for this file. It probably has a non-standard compression type for normal maps:

Error loading ...

textures\lod\mtnridge02lod_n.dds: Not a valid DDS texture

textures\lod\mtncliffsm01lod_n.dds: Not a valid DDS texture

textures\lod\mtncliff04lod_n.dds: Not a valid DDS texture

 

EDIT: Well ... you aslo have access violations, so that could be the real problem. I will step out of this now :P

[Rayburt]

ive re-installed all my tree mods including 3d tress, but that didnt work

From the OP:

 

If making posts or reporting errors, upload/paste these files (if they exist) to a file service or pastebin
..\DynDOLOD\bugreport.txt
..\DynDOLOD\Logs\[DynDOLOD|TexGen]_[TES5|ENDERAL|SSE|TES5VR]_log.txt
..\DynDOLOD\Logs\[DynDOLOD|TexGen]_[TES5|ENDERAL|SSE|TES5VR]_Debug_log.txt
 
If issue involves LODGen upload/paste

Those 3 mentioned textures are mountain/cliff textures, not from trees/plants.

So you apperrently checked/reinstalled the wrong mods.

Reading the FAQ as suggested:

 

FAQ: DynDOLOD.exe: Error [preparing|creating] textures for atlas: Error loading textures\*.dds: Not a valid DDS texture 

 

A: The mentioned texture is corrupted and needs to be fixed or replaced. This sometimes seems to happen with specific MO2 versions under Windows 10, the exact cause is currently unknown. 

 

A: Look up the texture path in MOs right window Data tab to find out which mod supplies it. Reinstall the textures from the mod, DynDOLOD Resources or TexGen output, whichever it is. 

 

 

Searching the forum as suggested finds these:

i solved the problem, but now i have a new one. the error is coming from the dyndolod resources vr. installed it right, what could cause an issue there?

Edited February 9, 2021 by Rayburt

[z929669]

Solved the file issues or the access violation? How? What was the cause?

 

... "error is coming from the dyndolod resources vr. installed it right, what could cause an issue there?" ... no entiendo

[Rayburt]

the issue was a red rock texture mod, i got rid of it. but now i cant get past the error stating its from dynolod resources vr

[sheson]

What error? More invalid textures? Read the messages and follow their suggestions.

 

Check log lines above the exception for additional hints. Check the FAQ and search official forum for those errors.

 

If problem persists, post error report with entire contents (not just the last couple lines) of ..\DynDOLOD\bugreport.txt and ..\DynDOLOD\logs\DynDOLOD_SSE_log.txt to official forum

 

Reinstall the mod(s). Update the OS, Update MO2 to latest version. Make sure to use a legal version of the game.
