Cannot run texgen or dynDOLOD because plugins.txt file is not present

[Darkwrath92]

As the title says, I can't run either. The error i get when trying to run either gives me Fatal: Error loading plugin list: <EDirectoryNotFoundException: The specified path was not found>

If i go to Appdata/Local/SkyrimSpecialEdition, there is no plugins.txt file

What am I supposed to do here?  I thought of making my own plugins.txt file and adding in the names of the plugins i have on MO2 but i dont know if it works that way

Follow the System Setup Guide

Run the launcher outside MO2, which should generate plugins.txt with the default ESMs/ESPs on.

Are you running DynDOLOD/TexGen from Mod Organizer?

I am concerned that you have Skyrim Special Edition installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)" so you may run into some permissions issues with this setup.
