FO4LODGen - A Guide on how to generate LOD

-------------------------------------------------------

This is a small and hopefully simple guide on how to use FO4LODGen to generate LOD

for objects like buildings, trees and terrain to improve the level of detail.

First of all, a few tools and resources that we need:

-LOD Textures for FO4LODGen

-FO4LODGen Resources

-Far Object LOD Improvement Project

-Archive2 (comes with the Creation Kit)

First download xLODGen and unzip it.

Now open the xLOGEN folder and you will see two exe files in it.

xLODGen and xLODGenx64. change the name of the xLODGenx64 to FO4LODGenx64. Finished for now.

Now install the FO4LODGen Resources, Far Object LOD Improvement Project

and the LOD Textures for FO4LODGen with your mod manager.

One more info:

Delete the FO4LODGen-HighTrees esp. 

This plugin is buggy and I had some problems with it.

Tip:

if you are using environment and landscape mods like Landscape Overhaul HD which comes with it's own LOD textures, open the ba2 archive and extract the LOD folder into your game folder. this overwrites all other LOD textures with the correct textures.

Now start FO4LODGenx64 and wait until all plugins are loaded.
