📋 About This Mod
The whole main game is covered, DLC's will follow on a later point.
DoubleYouC's great Far Object LOD Improvement Project is already incorporated.
Nevertheless performance should be unaffected or even improved except for 4k choice.
You should have Vivid Fallout - Landscapes or Vivid Fallout - All in One installed to match the LOD's.
If you use my 'Puddle Remover' install 'Commonwealth LOD - Puddles Removed' in optional
section to match the brighter grounds.
Come back and endorse!
thanks a lot for your support, you are just great!
I'm using esl-flagged esp's for my mods, they don't add to the plugin limit
LOD refusing to despawn is a well known Vanilla bug.
Changing following solved it for me.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,652 endorsements and 240k downloads
- Gives you control over performance vs. visual quality with multiple LOD options
- Makes distant terrain and buildings look way better without tanking your FPS if you pick the right preset
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base Vivid Fallout mods to work—this is just the LOD add-on
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or other LOD mods
For Fallout 4 players who already use Vivid Fallout textures and want to improve distant detail without a huge performance hit. If you're a modder who loves tweaking visual fidelity, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use Vivid Fallout or prefer all-in-one texture overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base Vivid Fallout mods installed first, or these LOD files won't have anything to work with.
- If you're on a lower-end PC, start with the performance-friendly LOD option and test your FPS in downtown Boston before upgrading to HD+.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it'll handle file overwrites and let you switch between LOD options easily.
