Tex Gen is looking for non-existing .ini

[RaileyLeo]

I'm using DynDOLOD 3 Alpha and have Installed/enabled DynDOLOD Resources SE and DynDOLOD DLL NG to Mod Organizer 2. TexGen and DynDOLOD have been set up as executables in MO2.

I use the Steam version of Skyrim VR. I moved SkyrimVR.exe (and everything else that was in the game folder) directly to a folder on my C drive. I was able to get my Windows Registry Editor to the correctly installed path C:\SkyrimVR\ which seemed to have TexGen finally looking for the .exe there.

However, when TexGen starts looking for the .ini it seems to be looking for one named SkyrimVRSkyrim.ini. As far as I'm aware that's not a real .ini for anything. Why is TexGen not looking for the actual skyrim.ini located in C:\SkyrimVR\ or even the skyrimvr.ini in the C:\Users\Railey\Documents\My Games\Skyrim VR directory?

This is the TexGen log:

Because you probably set command line arguments for the INI or the INI folder - which are not needed for the standard INI paths - or did not set them correctly as explained in the manual.

Thank you for clarifying where the error was coming from! I just re-entered the arguments and it's working now.
I must have messed up with an extra space or something somewhere.
