I don't understand things, but the spots in the screenshot have gotten fixed even though I'm still getting those error messages. I'm tired of trying to fix this so I'm just going to accept it as a success. Also the debug log was like 111 mb and that's why I was hesitant to upload it.

As I wrote, the problem the screenshot shows most likely already happens before generating LOD and is unrelated to LOD generation or the reported textures.

A "file not found texture" message means the reported file does not exist.
If you need further help understanding or troubleshooting file not found errors, then ask a specific questions while also including the required log files.

This may be nothing too much of an issue, but I noticed the following when DynDOLOD was generated with Alpha-165:
I searched my plugins for erros with xEdit and there are a few records mentioned in DynDOLOD.esm

There was nothing noticable during the generation itself and in the game also eveything looks fine.
I assume the wrong flag gets set - or is it an 'issue' with xEdit (as you can see I am on version 4.1.5b) because I 'can't' see what is behind this flag?

Ah, didn't knew this ws already documented.

Interesting I've never seen this before, as it should've been there forever.

Good to know and thanks for the reply.

Hi! I'm having a couple of DynDOLOD related issues. To begin with, I am using both Legacy of the Dragonborn and Drengin's Blue Palace (+appropriate patches), and the terrace looks like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3h967n3ako2vxvqjqrfxr/20240114225455_1.jpg

It looks like the custom rules for Legacy of the Dragonborn don't respect other mods adding references to that area. I can resolve it manually, but would be convenient if this could be fixed in the generation already.

Another thing that I have been struggling with for quite some time is some objects in Windhelm that don't have LOD, despite that I am setting them as "Visible when distant". So when looking towards the city, there is just a gap and a floating platform where the buildings were supposed to be. The following screenshots show what it looks like in summer with Seasonal Landscapes - Unfrozen, but it is the same also during other seasons:

I hope you can help.

Update: I tried reruning Dyndolod to see if the issue is reproducible, after applying manual cleaning by deleting a record in Dawnguard.esm according to cleaning instruction, and updating a trivial sound mod, Dyndolod ran fine to finish.
So I can safely conlude that either this is not reproducible, or deleting the sewer record in Dawnguard.esm somehow fixed it.
Thank you for making Dyndolod 3

Let me know which patch plugin is the last to change xx13DD6F in LegacyoftheDragonborn.esm.

If you want NewPit.nif to have LOD, you need to create a LOD model for it or add a mesh mask rule for NewPit.NIF to use the full model for LOD level 4 (and higher if desired).
Together with the Child > Parent feature an automatic copy should be made to Tamriel in case the reference is in the child Windhelm world. In case that copy does not happen with a mesh mask rule, upload new log and debug log.

No, the next 2 time I ran Dyndolod it ran smoothly to finish. The difference between the 3 attempts were: 2nd run I manually deleted the sewer entry in Dawnguard.esm, 3rd run I downgraded everything to 1.6.640

You should not just delete records or change other plugins because of this error message. The runtime version of the game does not matter.

If the error with the exact same record is 100% repeatable, you should error check the plugin with xEdit. If there is no error or it is not 100% repeatable (same error and record without any changes in the load order), then it is probably a race condition that needs to be addressed in the code.
