Error: Can not resolve cell

[vganym]

After updating dyndolod a few days ago i started having some problems with generating dyndolod in skyrim. It pointed some similar errors with 3 to 4 mods so i was disabling each one until it started generating, but now it pointed an error with a vanilla thing. What can i do?

[Main Instruction]
Error: Can not resolve cell for ccbgssse005-goldbrand.esl ccBGSSSE005_Blocker [REFR:020153A7] (in [CELL:0000B3F4] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at 33,14))

Log: https://pastebin.com/MVm5hZZH

Load order: https://pastebin.com/EVAd9YBY

My modlist is quite big, engine fixes tells me im dangerously close to the limit of references or something of the like, but i managed to set up dyndolod a few times with basically the same mods.

I dont know anything about editing on xedit, only quick cleaning.

Is there anything i can do? I really like the mod, but its beyond me whatever is causing this issue. In fact I had this issue, got nowhere, reinstalled all game and mods from the ground up, only for it to happen again. Also, i dont mind if theres a workaround, such as disabling a mod. I do this with G.R.I.M, dyndolod always points some error there, so i disable it, generate, and enable again.

Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log and debug log to upload when making posts.

https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum
Disabling something is typically a troubleshooting step and not a fix, especially when trying to circumvent errors or problems. Research the issue and report problems to the official DynDOLOD support forum, so they can be properly troubleshooted and fixed, whatever their reasons are.

For example get the G.R.I.M - Fixed .esp, which does exactly what is suggested on https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Unresolved-Form-ID.
If you can not troubleshoot and fix a problem yourself, the mod author being MIA and not fixing their mod, post an error report with logs to get help. Temporarily disabling mods is not fixing the error and means the error is still present in the game and generated patches are outdated.

https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Can-Not-Resolve-Cell
There is a problem with the mentioned cell record.
Check the log message for related messages above about the cell or the mentioned plugin.
As explained in the Generation Instructions, finalize the load order, install mods, sort and resolve conflicts. Clean and error check the load order with xEdit to find and fix errors before generating LOD.

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#Prerequisites
Clean and error check the load order with xEdit. Clean every plugin that LOOT suggests to clean .. Error checking the load order with xEdit will report possible unrecoverable errors in the load order like unresolved Form ID in a single run.

Clean the plugin mentioned by the error message with xEdit.

Hello,

i'm not that long on gaming and modding on PC, but did play quite some time with even a big load order and never had problems using Dyndolod. I recently had a Vortex problem, lost all my mods, had to do everything again and now after spent so much time, everything running in game, i did create Lodgen, Texgen again, but get following error, when running Dyndolod:

Error: Can not resolve cell for Update.esm [REFR:0004FA0A2] (in [CELL:0000B51E] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at 32,5))

I never had big problems before and when, the error message did help and could resolve. I also usually google a lot, try and often fix errors, though learn everyday and need time, but here i'm absolutely clueless

Maybe someone can kindly help with any info, push me into the right direction. I would really appreciate it! After spending days redo my game i was so looking forward play again, so i'd be very thankful!
Thx alot in advance!

If i understood right, my logs are needed. I uploaded them here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/t54vjpnk0du2fq4/Logs.7z/file

I hope this is the right ones that are asked. Sry, my english isnt the best, so pls let me know if something is missing.

Thx!

Hello Sheson,

i'm a total noob, but i always try my best to learn :/ My bad english doesnt help always, but i did some research, did check the log and found entries of that cell that mentions deleted references. 
I do upload again, a file with all logs, just to make sure. Seems my english made me understand the description wrong.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/8mgbaqafo33x6vr/Logs.7z/file

Maybe there is a way to identify what the culprit is? Or if it truly is something overwriting the Update.esm, find out or narrow down the culprit?
Again huge thanks for your time and help!

I lost all my mods, did spend a week redo, yesterday endless loading screen on start, hours search for the culprit that ended up being a single mod causing it

Was so happy finally being able to play again and now this error. An error i have no clue what to do, unlike other bugs, that i somehow manage. Again, i truly appreciate your help wholeheartedly!

Pay attention to the messages reported in the DynDOLOD log. For example look for message that start with <Error: Deleted reference "pluginname"

https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Deleted-Reference
The mentioned plugin(s) needs to be cleaned. Pay attention to similar LOOT messages.

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#Prerequisites
Clean and error check the load order with xEdit. Clean every plugin that LOOT suggests to clean .. Error checking the load order with xEdit will report possible unrecoverable errors in the load order like unresolved Form ID in a single run.

Also fix plugins for which Warning: Reference attached to wrong cell is reported. See https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Reference-Attached-to-Wrong-Cell

I suggest to learn basic modding knowledge by following a proper modding guide.

Fix these errors in all reported plugins the load order:

Run the "Put worldspace references in the right cell" script on the worldspaces of the reported plugins.

https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Deleted-Reference
Clean the reported plugins. However that will not help with the deleted navmeshes.

Oh, sorry, I forgot.

I read the help and checked with xedit to see if it was a plugin problem, but no problem was found.

If you disable a plugin that is showing an error, other plugins will appear until you disable all other mods.

Even if I run the script in xedit as you said, I still get an error. I'm not good at English so I don't know what screenshot to upload so I'm uploading a screenshot of xedit

I asked to "post .. an xEdit screenshot of the cell record" - so the first screenshot is that, just for another cell.
https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#xEdit-Screenshots
When investigating records in xEdit, make sure to scroll to the far right to show the last winning plugin to overwrite the record. If not everything of interested fits into a single screenshot, do several to show the whole record, scrolling to the bottom, too.
Do not trim anything. Do not filter anything, keep the entire window of xEdit is shown. Unfold elements (in particular when they link to other records) in case their content is not entirely shown in the folded view.

While the screenshot does not show the most right winning plugin, we can see that the XLCN entry has a string ID error. If the problem also exists in the winning plugin this might be related to the issue. You should check the linked location record 00018A56 in xEdit and find out the last plugin to overwrite it.
