Accepted for v2.0.0

This is what ELFX has been doing for years.

Do note that it potentially cause issues. ELFX author had to make a patch for BDS (v2) for the Windhelm bridge due to this technique being used. It was causing a CTD when the shader was applied.

However, bravo for it being a standalone mod. I've thought about adding ELFX into the Guide just use their meshes.

This is what I do now

I assume that we are not considering this, since we are using ELFX instead.

This messed up my trees around Ivarstead after generating lods (my bad ofc). Think i pass, my eyes are so old so i prolly dont see any difference with or without it.

I have been using it. Haven't seen any issues, which of course is the point. It probably has meshes that ELFX doesn't.

We should probably assess against ELFX to determine which we should be using and if there are any BDS/A compatibility issues

[DoubleYou]

Pretty sure the issue they are mentioning there is attempting to use BDS 3 with parallax option. I believe you need to use BDS 2 to use parallax.

@TechAngel85 DY wants to accept this one it looks like. I don't have enough info/opinion to say either way. What do you say? We only need to look at conflicts with ELFX and determine what to use from each if using both. I can do that at some point, but I'm not checking all of these meshes against vanilla and ELFX. Word of mouth is fine with me.

[TechAngel85]

I think it fine to accept this one. I have it up in Foundation.

NOTE: This mod's author also recommends using ELFX and ELFX Fixes, loading this mod after both, so ...

1. ...
2. SMIM
3. ELFX (meshes only)
4. ELFX Fixes
5. This mod
6. ...

I have not checked exactly what FOMOD options we should be using.

• I install ELFX with the SMIM option and then hide anything that isn't meshes/textures.
• Same for ELFX Fixes
• All of ELFX Fixes - Exteriors is kept (it still needs to be patched as I just found this the other day)

Here is my current Foundation section:

For this mod, I have installed all "No parallax versions", SMIM and Majestic Mountains options.

Good, it's more/less as I expected. ELFX must have some textures then, since you have it after SRO? If not, all of that stuff could go before that. I will be looking more closely at all of this stuff tomorrow (working from home, so can do this sort of thing)

I will get the ELFX Fixes mods up on the forums and wiki.

[TechAngel85]

Yes, ELFX has some custom texture paths for its meshes so textures are also included.
