Graphical issue with distant trees

Hello. I have this kind of issue with distant trees. I've recently been installing, uninstalling and reinstalling various weather, graphical and lighting mods to try to get the interior lighting as I want.

This issue with trees did not exist before. I do not know which mod causes it, but perhaps it might be common "bug".

I should add that there are quite a bit of texture popping when approaching things, like ornaments on certain houses, treex, rock formations, etc.

 

Any remedy to this, or perhaps mods that could improve the drawing distance would be appreciated.

I tried one (can't remember name) but it made the distant trees cut in half and blocky.

 

Thank you for any help you might provide.

If anyone could point to a possible fix, I'd be grateful...

It seems a LOD related problem the tree LOD is too bright (your trees LOD is different from the texture of the actual trees is more brighter) u could try using DynDOLOD to generate the right LOD watch the video from Gamer Poets if u don't know the mod. Your load order is a little bit off follow this guide: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/753253-only-you-can-prevent-forest-fires to first sort the mods in categories and then use TES5Edit to find conflicts and move the mods in the right places (or try using LOOT and then check with TES5Edit).

Yep. DynDOLOD is probably the best solution.

 

Be sure to run TexGen as well as the worlds output. If you follow GamerPoets video you should have no issues.

But be careful DynDOLOD can become resource intesnsive

[Deleted1669934User]

Thank you all for good responses. I'm actually aware of DynDOLOD, but the installion procress seemed quite daunting. I'll see if I can make it installed and how it works. Thanks though.

My game averages at 30-40 fps range atm, and I'd rather not have any other major resource hogs if I can avoid it. (I've been wondering if I should get rid of ENB, as its pretty much the only item that causes performance drop, as in, I can run 2-4k textures without enb and still have 60 fps, but as soon as I enable ENB, 20-30 fps hit).

 

Alternatively, I might just wait for the free Special Edition..

[Project579]

U can fix your problem by modifying the gamma on tho LOD of the trees i do not know how to do it but i know that it is possible to fix without any performance impact. I think Gamer Poets has a video on how to do it.

[Deleted1669934User]

I installed the enhanced vanilla trees mod, and it made the distant trees darker and more akin to the closer trees, thank you. It's not quite perfect, but its a huge improvement over what they used to be.

Thanks, fixed.

[Project579]

I just remembered about TES5LODgen you can use it to fix your LOD is more performance friendly and easier to use than DynDOLOD but it doesn't look as good it's still an improvement compared to the Vanilla LODs and will probably fix your tree problems.
