I'll give you a proper report with screenshots, console info, logs etc. but it's going to take a long while. I'd need to update to Alpha 139 first, I guess.

Meanwhile, please read my description in plain English which should be pretty clear without looking at pictures:

• Tree ref added by USSEP in Tamriel:

[REFR:05063113] (places TreePineForestSnow03 [TREE:0005C070] in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of [CELL:0000925A] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at -17,26))

• Copy of previous tree ref, in SolitudeWorld, also added by USSEP:

[REFR:0506313A] (places TreePineForestSnow03 [TREE:0005C070] in GRUP Cell Persistent Children of [CELL:00037EE6] (in SolitudeWorld "Solitude" [WRLD:00037EDF]) at -17,26)

• Relevant excerpts of debug log:

• Commentary:
  • At 1:49, DynDOLOD acknowledges the Delete rule from DynDOLOD_SSE_unofficialskyrimspecialeditionpatchesp.ini concerning [REFR:0506313A].
  • At 4:55, DynDOLOD applies that rule by disabling [REFR:0506313A] in DynDOLOD.esm. After that point, [REFR:0506313A] no longer "exist" in SolitudeWorld, it's not visible anymore. [REFR:05063113] in Tamriel has become "orphaned": it no longer has a matching copy in SolitudeWorld, since [REFR:0506313A] has been permanently disabled.
  • At 16:13, DynDOLOD decides to "Ignore master" for [REFR:05063113] because it apparently doesn't see that its copy [REFR:0506313A] has been previously disabled by DynDOLOD.esm. That evaluation is incorrect, as there is effectively no visible copy for [REFR:05063113] in SolitudeWorld anymore.

Repeat each step above for each and every tree reference added by USSEP in Tamriel, with its corresponding copy in SolitudeWorld disabled by DynDOLOD_SSE_unofficialskyrimspecialeditionpatchesp.ini.

End result: USSEP tree references in the cells outside the walls of Solitude have Tamriel LODs (as expected). Inside SolitudeWorld, when those LODs fade, no full models appear for those trees, since their copy was disabled and no new copy was made by DynDOLOD during Parent > Child.

Thanks.

If there are visual issues in the game, then make useful screenshots of them and upload those screenshots together with the log and debug log for that generation.
Always use the latest version. Maybe something changed in the meantime, maybe not. You do not have to do a full generation. Just Tamriel without extra options Occlusion etc. A small test load order with minimum required mods.

Thanks for all the logs and bugreport.txt. This will be fixed in the next alpha version a bit later today.

DynDOLOD does not change terrain/land or generates terrain LOD.

What makes you believe DynDOLOD has anything to do with the gap between a reference that is placed by a 3rd patry plugins and the terrain/land?
What rudimentary troubleshooting have you done? Does the problem go away without DynDOLOD output or plugins in the load order?

Hi,

as you have released two? new Versions i will investigate this matter further after i have done a new generation. 

It would be a waste of our time to chase ghosts in different/outdated software versions  

If the matter persists, i will take a look in xedit etc. and will posts the data.

 

Thx

I had some of the grass cache but not ALL of the grass cache for Tamriel. I had some issues with MO2 when generating towards the end of the process the first time I did it. So I thought this first point was OK because I did indeed have grass cache files.

Hi sheson,

It looks like you uploaded DynDOLOD 3 Alpha 140 to the DynDOLOD SE 3 Resources mod on Nexus:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52897?tab=files

It's been a long day, time to take a break

Thanks. Fixed.

Use this version, it includes updates for unofficial patch.

Alpha-140  fixed my problem.

Thanks again.

Tried to update my modding setup and ran DynDOLOD and this error came up:

Error: Error processing cell CWILustratorium [CELL:6137F33A] (in CWILustratoriumWorld "Lustratorium" [WRLD:6137F110] at 28,27): Invalid argument.

Anything I can do so this doesn't come up the next time I run it?

See the first post of this DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log, debug and bugreport.txt (if it exists) to upload.

I installed a few patches for ICOW and reran DynDOLOD, which seemed to fix the issue.

Anyways, thank you!

It prevents the issue from happening, because the load order is different now. Upload the old log, bugreport.txt with the error.
