The quarry near Concord is messed up. :(
I finally decided to just do a modded playthrough. Unfortunately, it seems that something I added has screwed up the quarry slightly. When I walk up to it, it looks like it is overlaying the "Low Level of Detail" model on top of it - the really simple square plane with terrible textures that should only be loading when you're too far away to really see anything anyway. If I walk onto it, the "real" geometry is hidden under it. (The LOD model doesn't have collision, obviously.))

Is there a way to refresh/reload the outdoor cell, or another way to fix it? The only mod I have that I *know* makes any changes to the world is the Unofficial Patch. And I don't think it's that one doing it. For one thing, it's too obvious a glitch, one of the people working on it should have caught it. It's not a huge deal, I barely go there anyway. But I'ld like to correct it if I can.

I can post a list of mods, if anyone thinks it will help. Maybe one of them is "known bad" or something.

This is a common issue with Thicket excavations. For most its usually solved by a simple restart of the game. I usually just leave the area a come back later and it sorts itself out.

LOD issues are often solved that way. There is a couple console commands that help, as does sometimes adjusting draw distances

save in / near it and exit game reload from save often fixes it

The issue with save/load and leave the area is that I've done both. Now I'm starting to worry that I've got a mod that's glitched and somehow actually causing the LOD mesh to display. It's actually been broken the last couple of times I've visited, over several play sessions a couple of days apart. Out of curiosity, what are the console commands that might help?

tll

will toggle distant lod on land, can be a bit tricky. tll to turn it off then tll to turn it back on. Much like with TG to toggle grass

and do a hard save first

Try and do the quest to empty the water can be hard to get the pipes but it can be done. later on it will change and there will be no issue with the texture not sure if the change is based on level or time maybe both.

if exiting the the game and restarting doesn't fix it, then go back to sanctuary and do the same thing. Putting some distance between you and the quarry may fix it.

The elevated freeways bug like that too. Exit the game completly, back to the desktop. Always works for me.

Yeah, I hate this one. You don't see the hole in the freeway till it's too late. I stay away from those now after learning the hard (dead) way.

Honestly it may not even be a mod issue.

I have gotten the distance/shadow graphics stuck before. I didnt use any mods when it happened.

What you need to do is save the game, exit the game, and reload the game.
