📋 About This Mod

More LOD

Thanks to FaramH for giving permission to bring over the FO3 relevant LOD from FNV LOD Supplementation. Not all was needed as the rest is included in Much Needed LOD FO3.

All Lod included are by FaramH.

All DP goes to charity

Description

Adds LOD for:

  • []Barns

    []Water tanks

    []5 overpass objects

    You might have noticed that annoying bridge by the Farragut Station that just pops in. Not a problem now. I had to repurpose some of the LODs to get the full bridge in, but luckily, the effect is very good(See image).

    These types of objects come up everywhere in the game.

    Included is an ESP with the "Visible When Distant" flag added to the objects that use the new LOD.

    You must run xLODGen after installation to be able to see the lod in-game.

    xLODGen for Beginners

    If there's any issues, refer to the instructions @ xLODGen. You can ignore anything to do with Terrian Lod or levels.

    Click the spoiler button to view instructions

    []Download xLODGen

    []Unzip into a dedicated folder outside of any Steam, game or mod manager folders or special Windows folders like Program Files, Users, Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc.

    []Rename XLODGenx64.exe to FO3LODGenx64.exe. If you don't use MO2, go to step 5.

    []If you do use MO2, ignore steps 5 to 8 and add Fo3LODgen as as tool and add -FO3 -o:"c:\Your desired LOD output location\" in the arguments field, and after running FO3LodGen, install the output as an empty mod

    []Right click FO3LODGenx64.exe and send to desktop (Create a shortcut)

    []Right click the shortcut and select "properties"

    []In the "target" field, after the last double quotes, add  -FO3 -o:"c:\Your desired LOD output location\" 

    []Example: "C:\Users\User Name\The location you put FO3LODGen Files\FO3Edit64.exe" -FO3 -O:"C:\Your desired LOD output location"

    []Use the shortcut to run FO3LODGENx64, or if you use MO2, launch from MO2

    []Click all the worldspaces in the left hand panel you want FO3LODGENx64, set Atlas and texture size to the max values

    []Ignore terrain unless you want to. It isn't needed for object lod mods, and takes a long time.

    []Click Generate

    []When its done, go to your output folder and zip the generated lod files and give it a name you'll recognise.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 134 endorsements and 9,249 downloads
  • Fills a specific niche—most LOD mods ignore these objects
  • Recently updated (December 2024) so likely compatible with current game version

⚠️ Cons

  • Only covers three object types—may not address all LOD issues
  • Small mod with limited scope—not a comprehensive LOD overhaul
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who notice pop-in on barns, water tanks, and overpasses and want a quick fix. Also for modders who want to see how LOD is implemented for these objects. Skip if you're looking for a full LOD overhaul or if you don't care about distant details.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the mod in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex for easy installation.
  • If you use an ENB, check that it doesn't override LOD settings—this mod works best with default LOD distances.
  • Test in an area with barns or overpasses (e.g., near Lexington) to see the difference.
