Is it safe to run TES4LODGen/TES4LL after removing mods?

[Murielkai]

From what I have read it says it is safe to run TES4LODGen and TES4LL again after adding mods but is it safe to run them repeatedly when removing mods? Doing so won't cause errors will it?

[lubronbrons]

it will not error in certain cases

probably will just cause some visual glitch

something like ...

assumed you install DLC Battle Horn, you can see that Castle from afar right ?

then ... tomorrow you uninstall that mod,

and you play again from last savegame WITHOUT doing LOD Gen routine

I believe you'll still see that Battle Horn Caster from afar

BUT

it will disappear when you go near it (because it was uninstalled)

yeah ... something like that

this what I mean Visual glitch

and

in another case it may CTD

because sometimes that LOD may happen to use some custom textures or meshes

you can rest assured if that Location mod or that City mod that you uninstall

is using vanilla texture mesh, then it should be no problem

 

summary : Best is, ALWAYS do LODGen routine after install/uninstall Location mod
