Installation
Install and activate like any other mod. By itself, the main file does nothing. You must regenerate Object LOD using FO4LODGen to see the added objects.
If you are uncomfortable or experience issues generating yourself, there is now an optional Pregenerated Object LOD file that can be used. Generating your own LOD will be more performance friendly, mod compatible, and look better, but this gets you very close without having to do all the extra legwork.
