Step Guide, No DynDOLOD

[criswolf09]

I am installing the latest STEP guide but I dislike the Dyndolod mods and I want to skip them. What should I skip to avoid CTD?

For years I disliked the meticuluos and annoying process of Dyndolod and I want to skip it along all its mods. I am installing the STEP Guide on a steam legal copy of Skyrim SSE.

Just install everything and don't run DynDOLOD. That's all. You will probably want to enable "grass GID" and "fade in" under the BethINI 'Environment` settings and set tree LOD distance to something like 50000 under "View Distance". Otherwise, you won't have grass or trees in the distance.

Obviously, don't install DynDOLOD and xLODGen and Aspense Ablaze DynDOLOD Add-On.

Thank you so much for replying!

I am assuming you don't want to generate a grass cache either, but if you do, leave BethINI settings mentioned as the guide instructs and generate the cache. This will give you grass with improved performance and allow NGIO to do its work keeping grass where it should be.
