Hello. The newest STEP guide says next to the Net Script Framework link to ignore the loader, that the loader will be provided by another mod. Can anyone tell me which mod provides the loader? Thanks so much!

Requirements
DynDOLOD Standalone 3.0 Alpha-33 (Mega) DynDOLOD Resources 2.85 (Mega) for Skyrim/Enderal or DynDOLOD Resources SE 3.00 Alpha-9 (Mega) for Skyrim SE/Skyrim VR/Enderal SE Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 For dynamic LOD: SKSE, SKSE64, SKSEVR and PapyrusUtil, PapyrusUtil SE, PapyrusUtil VR or DynDOLOD DLL For grass LOD: A warm precache from No Grass In Objects. See next post for details.
Installation
Install the requirements as usual. Install the Core Files from either DynDOLOD Resources or DynDOLOD Resources SE depending on the used game version. Typically overwrite any files or refer to Load/Overwrite Orders. Install other options as desired. Unpack the DynDOLOD Standalone archive into a new 'DynDOLOD' directory that is outside of special OS folders like 'Programs Files' or 'Program Files (x86)', User, Documents, Desktop, Download and also not in SteamApps, game or any mod manager folders. By default the tools start in Skyrim mode, which is the same as adding the -tes5 command line parameter. Add -sse for Skyrim Special Edition, -tes5vr for Skyrim VR or -enderal for the Enderal Steam Version.
LOD Generation
Use TexGen to generate object LOD textures and tree/grass LOD billboards into a dedicated output folder and then install as a mod. Use DynDOLOD to generate object LOD (includes grass LOD if enabled), tree and optional dynamic LOD into a dedicated output folder and then install as a mod.
Major Feature Changes
Generate high quality tree/grass LOD billboards with TexGen. No need to install any billboards. Ultra tree LOD is now a checkbox - remember to update the tree mesh rule as desired. Billboard Grass LOD in object LOD Level 4. See next post for details. Generate some pre-rendered object LOD textures, including all cities. Generate an underside terrain mesh to block sun rays.

Hi guys, first post here, happy to have joined! I've been tearing my hair out trying to get No Grass in Objects to work without causing stutter upon changing cells/loading new objects, trees, etc. I've heard so many people get great results with it, and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a hardware limitation. I tested it with a separate MO2 profile, enabling only NetScriptFramework and No Grass in Objects, along with a pregenerated cache of grass, and "Low" Bethini settings, and was still getting stuttering, so it shouldn't be a mod conflict or an ini problem, though I'll post my ini files anyway. I've also tried it with DynDOLOD 3.00 and the same thing happened, but I don't believe it to be a consequence of DynDOLOD.
My hardware specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7-9750H @ 2.60GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 1660-Ti 6GB
Here are my ini files:
Skyrim.ini: https://pastebin.com/92mkUzYW
SkyrimPrefs.ini: https://pastebin.com/njhEHaKH
SkyrimCustom.ini: https://pastebin.com/6b8uGFHJ
Is there something I'm missing? I added some exclusions to the grass precaching process, but the stuttering occurs in areas not related to those exclusions. I'm really at a loss for what to do.
Thanks for any help!

Someone please explain why DynDOLOD is telling me I need PapyrusUtil when I've always had it in my load order? I've tried rolling back to older versions but nothing seems to work. I've had this issue in the past and I don't remember how I solved it.
