  2. TES5Edit
  3. PapyrusUtil-Modders Scripting Utility Functions
  4. STEP Texture Compilation

sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

Installation

  1. Download the main file outside Mod Organizer.
  2. Extract the contents of TES5Edit folder in the archive to the TES5Edit folder.
  3. In Mod Organizer, click the archive Archive MO.png button, select the downloaded archive, and click Open.
  4. At the installation dialog, right-click the Data directory, select Set data directory, and click [OK].
    • Additionally, drag the Docs directory into the Data directory beforehand, so the DynDOLOD documentation can be seen from within MO.

Generation

Template:Notice

1. Ensure DynDOLOD.esp is the last plugin in your load order.
2. Run TES5Edit through Mod Organizer.
3. Click [OK].
4. Wait for "Background Loader: Finished" at the bottom of TES5Edit.
5. Right-click on any plugin in the left pane and select Apply Script.
6. In the drop-down box, choose DynDOLOD TexGen and click [OK].

7. Wait for the script to run and close TES5Edit when finished.
8. Delete the contents of the Overwrite folder.
9. Open up the output folder (C:\TES5LODGenOutput from the TES5Edit setup) and create an archive from the textures folder within using 7zip.
10. In Mod Organizer, click the archive Archive MO.png button, select the archive, and click Open. "STEP LOD Textures" is recommended as a name for the mod.
11. Place it after DynDOLOD and activate it. Nothing should overwrite it.
12. Find Birds and Flocks in your mod list and uncheck it. Skipping this will cause the script to stop until you do.
13. Run TES5Edit through Mod Organizer.
14. Hold down the Shift key and Click [OK].
15. Wait for "Background Loader: Finished" to be displayed at the bottom of the messages tab.
16. Right-click on any plugin in the left pane and select Apply Script.
17. In the drop-down box, choose DynDOLOD Worlds and click [OK]. Click [OK] to an intro window that appears.
18. In Select Worlds, right click in the box and choose Select all.
19. In Select Output Path, choose a location (it is recommended to use a folder on your desktop).
20. Click Medium (or your preferred preset).
21. Wait a really long time (generally between 30 minutes and 3 hours). Users with SSDs will take much less time even on High settings.
  • Watch a movie. Or read a book, because it is brain food.
  • Do NOT attempt to use TES5Edit while it works.

Template:Notice Small

22. Once the script is done, and assuming there are no errors, exit TES5Edit.
23. At the prompt, make certain only DynDOLOD.esp is ticked and click [OK].
24. Re-enable Birds and Flocks by clicking it in the left pane.
25. Copy the output folder to the mods folder inside Mod Organizer. Make sure that nothing overwrites this mod in MO.
26. Enable DynDOLOD.esp in the Plugins tab. Make sure to run LOOT before starting Skyrim and let LOOT sort the DynDOLOD.esp plugin now that the masters have been added to it.
