📋 About This Mod
LOD Choices
LOD files for South of the Sea by itself, or with various other mods combined. Use only the one that matches your install, obviously. I have a lot of LOD files for various mods unrelated to South of the Sea like Desperados Overhaul and Badlands 2 (see link below).
Note that you may still see some pop-in depending on many things including your rig, your ini tweaks, and its also just a Bethesda game. However, the LOD definitely allows you to see all those distant objects and same color terrain foreground as it is in the background.
Note this is NOT precombine data. This is only terrain and distant object LOD. If you have mods that add to those categories you likely won't see LOD for them. This is a self-generated LOD using xLODGen, and also solves the problem of xLODgen + Mod Org 2 problems like distant water LOD not appearing.
