LOD problem. No grass, no grass... GRASS!

[Duck82]

Hi,

 

Encountering a problem with the LOD when running about outside. Distant areas that should be grassy, forested, bushy etc. appear as low-quality yellow, grey/green grass clumps. That is until you get right up close then BAM! Full quality grass, trees, bushes etc.

 

Couple of pictures attached to demonstrate the problem.

ScreenShot 5 shows the yellow & grey/green clumps before I approach, circled in red.

 

 

ScreenShot 6 shows the close regions recovered circled in green, and the same problem occuring in the distance, circled in red. This stop start loading continues across the map.

 

 

Apologies for the terrible res.

 

I also notice that when approaching some tree outcrops the number and quality of models change. Often from 3/4 low polygon trees, to 5/8 high quality trees. The transition between the two has the appearance of a fine wire mesh being held up to the monitor for a few seconds whilst the models are switched.

 

There is no noticeable performance drop in either instance, other than these issues the game runs and looks, superb. I'm running a number of mods, including the Floral Overhaul and Verdant - I've tried reinstalling both ensuring the correct models/textures are overwritten, updated the various .ini as per the instructions and still no joy. All the mods are loaded in accordance with LOOT and seem stable throughout long periods of play and I have not noticed any floral-based problems other than this. A good friend is a modder, has had a look and is none the wiser.

 

I'm no expect at this so any guidence would be grand. Cheers.

Not sure. Perhaps post your load order and I can take a look

That ugly stuff is bush LOD..
Skyrim Flora Overhaul has a download option that removes bush lod completely

[QuagaarWarrior]

Are you using the trees only version of Skyrim Flora Overhaul? As you are using Verdant you only need the trees only version.
