Strange Orange Trees and Trees not loading until I'm near

[Black Album]

Hi All .....again

I've developed a strange glitch with my trees
A lot of them aren't loading until i get near them and lots of trees in the distance are orange ... and also don't load until I'm near.
Many of the trees in near view have an ice-like blue tinge.

The only thing I think could've caused it ... and I'm guessing ... is that I downloaded and installed the Real Vision ENB.
I haven't selected it in LHP but could that have put something in the ini ?

I mention SFO earlier in chats that I removed it, I prefer Skysight - simply bigger trees and its Tree Lod for Skysight - simply bigger trees combined with RealVision.
Older mods but works for me.

I have not had SFO do that for me. Maybe it is time I look elsewhere for distant trees. Going to leave the LOD add on for now with the note about the issue.

[★Kelvy★]

That was the reason I remove it was because of orange trees in background found out by removing SFO the look disappeared. It was after that also I found out the two LODs were not compatible. Had to choose so choose the older mods.

Added the exact files that should be downloaded and installed to SFO
Skyrim Flora Overhaul 2.5b - No grass
2K LODs for v2.5
Safe to reinstall SFO on an existing game. (Guide v 3.6.6.4)

@ Kelvy, I did the same for lighting for a long time, used two olllllld mods for lighting. Kind of like ELFX now though.

[★Kelvy★]

I like the Kiss principal, seems like add a new mod and you got to add ten others to get it to work the way you want it to work.

ELFX has been the only lighting/shade mod I use other than RealVision.

Btw I just tried a mod yesterday called 'Nyhus and the Border Cyrodiil' states to activate, change/add to Ini files to have open borders(didn't work on two profiles). It also states with Alternate start you can start in three new locations while in the cell that also a no show.(again 2 new profiles)
Maybe someone have used it and knows the answer.
Seems a neat mod but no good if you can't get it to work.

Thanks for that cfs111 ... downloading the correct files now then I'll run a test.

So .... the new version still had the glitch with LOD installed ... same glitch but different trees ..lol

So I've just installed the no grass version without the LOD and it works.

My instinct is to just leave it alone now ... this was the only problem that was stopping me starting the game for real.Would that be ok ? What am I missing out on with not having the LOD installed? As I said before ... I don't really know what it is.

[cfs111]

Prettier background. You were just running the wrong set of files, use the 2K LOD s for v2.5 you should be fine.

[Black Album]

The 2k LOD for v2.5 was the one I used

[cfs111]

OK, cool. Do you still get the issue with SFO and the LOD?

@drwatson1873
Thanks will try setting it up in MO to false, this bit I did not do. Had change it in MO for the ini file addon.

Just setting up new profile with most of the mods I removed earlier including SFO +Lod and omit the other two and see what happens.(check for orange trees in distance again)
(please do not ask how many times I restarted and I won't lie)

Yes ... that was the new screenshot that I posted.
I'm just been testing without the LOD and everything works ok but as soon as I add the new 2K LODs for v2.5 I get the glitch again.

[cfs111]

Darn, was hoping it was the Billboards file doing it for you. In this case I will leave the install instructions as they are. Thanks for taking the time to test it for me!

[Avrie]

That LOD file only has one tree in it, and no associated mesh. It was listed under "old" I sent a message to Vurt about it yesterday, and he didn't know it was there. Only use the SFO 2.5b billboards not the LOD file. Just make sure it's directly under SFO in the LHP or it doesn't get picked up by DynDOLOD correctly.

I've been doing a lot of hoping myself ... mostly to no avail.
Going to have one last day of testing and installing but if I can't figure out what is causing this LOD glitch then I'm going to leave it and actually start playing.
If you could just tell me if I really need this LOD to work correctly. Before I got this new computer I was used to a much lower standard but now ... i'm still mightily impressed everytime I go into test ... so I suspect I can live without this LOD thingy.

And no thanks are needed ... my time pales by comparrison to the time you have put into this guide.
