Sorry if this is not the correct place for this question but In regards to updating my LOD I have a few questions. I swapped out my tree overhaul and a few other visuals. Also changing my Dyndolod preset to medium from high. I ran Texgen for Occlusion data, so Dyndolod has the occlusion data box checked and greyed out and the official instructions say it will update that occlusion data automatically. does that hold true even when swapping out mods, and changing presets? or should I disable the occlusion plugin, run Dyndolod then regen occlusion?

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Occlusion-Data
In case of updating an existing DynDOLOD installation with a separate Occlusion.esp, also keep Occlusion.esp activated and make sure it loads last right after DynDOLOD.esp. The Occlusion data and Plugin checkboxes will be checked automatically.

If the Occlusion data and Plugin checkboxes are checked, occlusion data for the selected worldspaces will be generated as usual.

Hello!

Trying to run Dyndolod after following the guide and I believe I've weeded out all of the problematic mods, but I've got an error that doesn't point to something specific and I don't know where to start looking to correct it:

Been using the old DynDoLod for ages but needed to use 3 for someone's new mod and I have to say, these unannounced forced updates when all I want to do is a quick update on my dam'ed LOD is maddening AF.

Always use the latest versions. Newer versions fix bugs, contain updated/new assets and configuration files to support the (sometimes still updated) vanilla game and for existing, new or updated mods. Using the latest version and providing feedback or reporting problems is a requirement to participate in the alpha test. Do not waste time using older versions or reporting problems with older versions. Participating in the alpha test requires to report any problems to the official DynDOLOD support forum. Older versions will automatically stop working after several months to facilitate the cathedral modding process and to protect the community from detrimental behavior and users from themselves. The only sane and common sense modding and development method of free tools is to report bugs or problems, have them fixed in a new version and solved in the official DynDOLOD support forum.

https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#Older-versions

If you are unable to pay the "price" required to use the tool I share for free, then you should not use it.

Hello Sheson,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was trying to follow this guide: https://dyndolod.info/ (including all of the linked pages/instructions). I've cleaned every pluging that LOOT has instructed me to clean.

Here is the link to the relevant files you asked for, as well as an image of something I may have found in xEdit (still new to the program, so trying to figure some of these things out myself, as well).

I will continue to go through the information you've provided in the meantime.

The upload includes the TexGen log and debug log instead the logs for DynDOLOD.

The xEdit screenshot shows that the Forest Nymphs.esm plugin "deleted" the reference. Clean it with the xEdit Quickautoclean mode.

My apologies, let me try again: https://ufile.io/i1ltzu0a

I will clean that up now.

Based on the DynDOLOD log I suggest to also clean:
AnorithsShack.esp
BBLS_SKSE64_Patch.esp
ct15cc-TundraHomesteadExpanded.esp
ct15cc-TundraHomesteadExpandedBBBLuxuryPatch.esp
Dibella Baths Location Patch.esp
ezPG - Emberveil.esp
Fabled Noble House Patch.esp
FilthyHeritage.esp
Forest Nymphs.esm
Seascale.esl
SexLab_Dialogues.esp
SlaversKeep.esp
TeenDolls - Mhavragch.esp
TRX - Statue CandiGirl.esp
TRX - Statue TriumphOfTheBeast.esp
TRX - Statue TrixieIdealBalance.esp
TRX - Statue TrixieJoke.esp
TRX - Statue TrixieTankard.esl
TRX - Statue TrixieWitchFlight.esl
TRX_Statue_Waitress.esp

Consider to only use mods from mod authors that know how to make proper plugins.

Is there a way to know this ahead of time?

I'm really new to this and I basically just download whatever a mod says is a requirement and I end up with a huge bloated list of stuff I don't really care for, but it's needed for that particular mod. And then uninstalling a mod that I find out mid game is garbage breaks the whole game. Is it really just trial and error until you get what you want/like in the end?

A method is to use xEdit filter:
left tree view, right click, select Apply Filter
check "deleted" in the left
check "by Record Signature" in the middle and in the list select REFR - Placed Object
everything else unchecked
Once applied, the left tree view will list all plugins containing deleted references.

Modding is a lot of trial and error unless you follow a modding guide (and stick to it) or download a pre-made list.

Ok, that's easy enough to understand! Thank you for the advice/guidance. Will clean all plugins and report back if I still have issues!

This is not a typical issue, but I made a new worldspace and wanted to generate LOD for it. I've done this before successfully but this time I tried it, it failed to work, as can be seen in the picture I attached. I had added new mountain meshes but the only edits I made were to change the texture file paths in nifskope. I made sure in the plugin the correct LOD models were connected to their static records (which are vanilla LOD also with new texture paths). After running DynDOLOD on a completely vanilla profile minus the absolutely necessary files/mods, it added something in the back but nothing else, not even the terrain. Everything ran smoothly and the only error I got was that I needed to clean a deleted record in Dawnguard.esm. Since I've done this for new world spaces before, I believe I did everything correctly (with the .lod file with the name of my worldspace). I do not know if this was on my end or something else?

Sorry about that. I'll pay closer attention next time. But, this can be disregarded: I had forgotten to uncheck the option to make the worldspace a fixed size. Thanks for the hardwork.
