Can you double check the issue does not happen without a DynDOLOD.esm (e.g. no DynDOLOD plugins at all)?

It is not reported because the references are not identical. Different flags and different form versions.

Yes.Test with Resources and DLL NG scripts installed, DynDOLOD.esm,DynDOLOD.esp and oclusion.esp disabled, that will not happen.

Can you do a binary search with that DynDOLOD.esm I uploaded?

1. Make a backup
2. Remove a worldspace
3. If problem does not happen, restore backup
4. continue with 2. until only the worldspace with which the problem happens remains.

I would expect this to be Tamriel

Well, still couldn't help testing it.

Test 1 : Delete Tamriel, still happen.

Test 2: Delete all world space, still happen.

Test 3: Delete Anything, make it a empty plugin, not happened.

Test456789...

Finally i found when i reserve "Game Setting" only(fLargeRefMinSize [GMST:00000F92], DynDOLOD.esm is 1 overwrite 512 in skyrim.esm), the bug will happen. And delete it only from plugin, the bug will not happen. I have checked no other plugin edited this record.

I'm really going bed now XD , see you tomorrow

Very good!

Hello, I am trying to get "Seasonal Landscapes of Skyrim" to work with grass LOD using the workaround below, as I know the "No objects in grass" mod is currently not compatible with the "Seasons of Skyrim" framework. I have used Dyndolod in the past without issue (with the "Turn of the Seasons" mod however I had used a single grass cache then). I switched to "Seasonal Landscapes of Skyrim" as it offers different grasses per season, which I am trying to create grass LODs for. I followed the instructions here, https://dyndolod.info/Help/Seasons, specifically:

"After generating grass cache for a forced season, rename all *.CGID files to *.[SPR|SUM|AUT|WIN].CGID. For example on the Windows command prompt with rename *.cgid *.WIN.cgid before moving the files from the MO2 Overwrite folder to the mod folder that will contain all grass cache files. Repeat for every season. In the end there should be default grass cache files plus the grass caches for the 4 seasons."

Overall, I followed these steps (which I normally do when generating LODs without issue):

1. Installed "Seasonal Landscapes of Skyrim" and all its requirements
2. Generated grass cache for each season, forced through the "po3_SeasonsOfSkyrim.ini", not to sure about default cache, see below
3. Ran xLodGen to create Terrain LOD only (including all seasons and world spaces )
4. Ran TexGen with "HD Grass" enabled
5. Ran Dyndolod with "Grass LOD enabled, Mode 1, and all seasons and world spaces enabled

I understand you need 5 caches (4 seasons plus the default grass cache), but how do I go about generating the default grass cache with "Seasonal Landscapes of Skyrim", and thus the "Seasons of Skyrim" framework, active? Can I simply take on of the caches from any season and leave the file names unchanged so that it is read as the default? I did try that but when I ran Dyndolod (which did recognize all grass cache files and ran to completion successfully) I do not see any grass LOD in game at all, in addition to my Dyndolod output folder being a lot smaller than before (5 gb on this run vs 30 gb with a single grass cache with he "Turn of the Seasons" mod which produced grass LOD). 

Could you please help me identify where I am going wrong here, I am suspecting is that default grass cache. Thank you for your time!

Read the first post which log and debug log to upload when making posts.

Set the Season Type in po3_SeasonsOfSkyrim.ini accordingly to the list which should be above the setting.

;0 - disabled
;1 - permanent winter
;2 - permanent spring
;3 - permanent summer
;4 - permanent autumn

Set Season Type = 0 to generate the default grass cache.

It only lists plugins and worldspaces that have large reference data.

Does the issue still happen if you disable EnhancedWetnessandPuddles.esp?

Ur, that still happens

I remember being in a similar situation: I can't start the sence that Balgruf lead you to Farengar to talk about bleakfall. Balgruf should lead you to meet Farengar, but he do nothing after dialogue, finally i found it was a guard mod caused that. One guard is considered doesn't matter and was disabled by the author, but in fact he's one Alias in a quest, and it caused that quest cannot run, then caused the bleak fall quest broken.

Maybe this is the same? Some largeReference is Alias in some quest and was disabled by LargeReference workaround, so  caused other quest damaged?

The workarounds do not disable large references. That could only be done by removing them from the worldspace RNAM list in the plugin(s) that add them.

Large references are references with the base record STAT or MSTT. Check the exported list. There is no NPC in that list.

Test with this version of DynDOLOD DLL NG https://mega.nz/file/JIxxWLyR#WQ5Da9xkK-jRVANdI31lmYA1BTngNKrkUB7OxgJBn9U

If the issue does not happen and if there are no other weird side effects, this is an actual fix.
