SKYRIMSE Generating the Grass Cache HELP

[TheKingOppaiDragon]

Hello everyone, I am having a problem generating the grass cache. I am following our guide to modding the game and I got towards almost to the end Step 5 Grass Cache.

The site says: To generate the grass cache: Click the Puzzle button in MO, and select Precache Grass to begin the process. I did this and after 2 hours of not being able to use the pc i got the message you see in the picture where it failed. The game would open and crash, it says this is normal. Did I do something wrong?

Error i got

My modlist

Crashlog (This is the crashlog named: "crash-YYYY-MM-DD-Hours-Minutes-Seconds")

Lets ignore the grass cache error for now.

I presume you are running the clean & pure SkyrimSE 2.3 build as instructed by the guide?

You have MO warnings:

First step is clicking on the icon at upper right to resolve those issues. Probably missing masters.

SSE Engine Fixes, DynDOLOD Resources, Realistic Wolf Howls, and several other mods have warnings. Hover over these warning icons to discover the issue.

Yes, i'm running the clean & pure SkyrimSE 2.3 build by our guide.

If i click on icon u told me i get this: 


SSE Engine Fixes + DynDOLOD Resources and other mod tell me message like that. This message is for SSE Engine Fixes, other mod is similar and change the version

installed version: "6.2.0", newest version: "6.1.1" The newest version on Nexus seems to be older than the one you have installed. This could either mean the version you have has been withdrawn (i.e. due to a bug) or the author uses a non-standard versioning scheme and that newest version is actually newer. Either way you may want to "upgrade".

Carefully re-read the Step Patches in the guide. Install those required using the Step Patch - Conflict Resolution instructions.

Ensure that the mods (left pane) and their plugins (right pane) are enabled. Then repeat grass cache generation steps once the warning is gone.

The mod warnings appear to be related to the improper versioning of those mods on Nexus, which is a common problem. They can be ignored, or you can edit the meta.ini in each to make version = newestVersion, but that doesn't really matter unless you want to know when the MAs update those mods and fix their versioning issues.

Not sure how it happened, but many of your plugins are disabled. Please enable them all. Then sort with LOOT, and show the result using your video method..

Read any remaining messages in the warning icon at upper right to resolve those issues.

Once sorted with LOOT, the highest-priority plugins should look like this:

Also note taht some of your plugins have warning icons. Hover over those icons for hints.

I enabled all plugin, used LOOT for sort and this is how looks like 
Also because in the guide for some mods it said to download old versions or delete/hide plugins/files. Maybe that's why I have some errors?

Look at the big warning box at the top of the guide.

Follow the SSG in Step 1

In the SSG are instructions for ensuring a clean vanilla game folder and downloading the Creation Club mods. Then in Step 2 of the guide are instructions for cleaning the vanilla masters.

It looks like you just need to revisit the guide and read through it carefully, following all instructions.

You don't need to re-download all the mods or anything. Just leave MO alone while you get the vanilla game folder in order (Steps 1 & 2 of the guide).

Yes, you need to purchase the AU to get all of the CC mods required. Otherwise, the Step Patches won't work, and you will need to modify them yourself, which is no simple task.

Then continue following the SSG to download the CC content from within the game. Then go to Step 2 of the guide if you have MO and other SSG programs already installed as instructed. You will need to clean the 44 vanilla masters next probably.

You couldn't have cleaned all 44, because most of them are Anniversary Upgrade masters.

But yes, you get the idea. You just need to do a bit of additional work but not everything. I recommend re-reading and verifying everything though. There's a lot of detail and small things that could otherwise be missed (including mod instructions).

I'm following the guide to clean Vanilla master plugin but when say: 

1. Once xEdit is finished, close xEdit. A backup of the original plugin will automatically be saved to the xEdit Output mod created previously (e.g., Update.esm.backup.YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS). 

if i go in my xEdit Output i don't see any backup why?
