SME and DynDOLOD install

[Sael]

Hello all,

I'm kinda new to modding Skyrim SE. I'm on SE 1.6.1170.0. I am using SME as my base and I'm taking heavy inspirations from SSS and NGVO.

I can't open Texgen because I don't have the latest version. SME uses Version 3.00 Alpha 182.

On the DynDOLOD website, we are told to do a clean save before updating and this through the MCM. SkyUI has nothing in relation to DYNDOLOD. There isn't a DynDOLOD 'thing' in the MCM. Could it be that SME didn't generate any LOD so I can skip this step? There is no DynDOLOD Output nor a Occlusion.esp anyway.

My next question is in relation to DynDOLOD Patches: https://dyndolod.info/Help/DynDOLOD-Patches. How and where do I install this?

Finally, am I supposed to launch Texgen and DynDOLOD every time I add a mod with lods or can I do that after adding all my visual mods?

I don't know what 'SME' is, and it sounds like an issue with that. No mod list should be reliant on a particular DynDOLOD Alpha version. Always use the latest version and then post in the DynDOLOD support forum with logs to troubleshoot.

Only generate the LOD patch once your mod list and LO are final.

SME stands for Skyrim Modding Essentials. It's a wabbajack list with all sorts of bugfixes, frameworks and tools that allow you to start modding Skyrim SE. It comes with DynDOLOD Resource SE, DynDOLOD DLL SE - Scripts and DLL, DynDOLOD DLL NG and Scripts 3.00 and xLODGen Resource - SSE Terrain Tamriel.

SME had a recent update and they updated Texgen. It works now.

I still want to thank you for answering 929669.
