Tree LOD's and draw distance
so I started using Common Wealth Conifers recently and I honestly love this mod but I've noticed the tree LOD's don't see to be accurate at far distances,I will upload screenshots,but was wondering if anyone knows a way to increase the Tree LOD's and draw distances,I have tweaked the .ini files and nothing seems to work,anyone know how to improve it? (P.S. I'm not worried about performance)

Silly question but did you check settings in the Launcher/OPTIONS/Advanced button/Detail and View Distance tabs?

I have both set to Ultra and my in-game sliders for LOD's all on max
You can raise the #'s in the fallout ini files. There's a few files but one has like TREELOD distances, it goes TREE (this is full detail, max distance to display) TREELOD1 or 2 (lower detail level), if they don't have lower details, it won't display them and will display the old tree underneath, usually. Lower details or models with them are called LOD's and are common today in most 3d games. Be aware this can really put a hurtin' on your FPS, so adjust carefull and remember the values you change. Don't change too many other values, and if you use the launcher's graphic settings panel later, it will revert your changes.

I've tweaked my Tree LOD 1 and LOD 2 even in the screenshots you see to be double their original values and can't seem to get them to load properly with leaves

fMeshLODLevel2FadeTreeDistance=4096.0000
fMeshLODLevel1FadeTreeDistance=5688.0000

fTreeLoadDistance=150000

these are my current values tweaked to be doubled the original values

in my Fallout 4 prefs folder

Also I only see these options

fLeafAnimDampenDistEnd=4600.0000
fLeafAnimDampenDistStart=3600.0000
fMeshLODFadePercentDefault=1.2000
fMeshLODFadeBoundDefault=256.0000
fMeshLODFadeScalar=3.0000
fMeshLODLevel2FadeTreeDistance=4096.0000
fMeshLODLevel1FadeTreeDistance=5688.0000

for trees, and you can see you got LOD Level 1 & 2 and no overall Tree fade
