LOD Togglers for Mods

Description =========== These packages are designed to work around a limitation in the game engine. Proper usage allows you to experience semi-dynamically changing Distant LOD visuals at the touch of a button. General Details =============== The idea was born with a small fixer set of plugins designed to defeat a bug in Kvatch Rebuilt. Once that had been released, I started thinking \"maybe some other mods might benefit from such a treatment?\" Thus, I have now started a full-blown project: LOD Togglers for Mods. How do these plugins work? They move a few things around for the mods they cover so to only display specific portions of the available Distant LOD based on your progress in the mod. Essentially, they are faking dynamically changing distant visuals. This circumnavigates an engine limitation and allows for the users to alter their Distant LOD for specific mods quickly and easily. Just load up the plugins into TES4LODGen and let it re-process your D-LOD. The idea was also born from the need to work around a bug in the game\'s DistantLOD system: modifying the individual . LOD files after TES4LODGEn was run can cause problems, namely the game failing to load the DistantLOD for the cells the player is currently occupying. Using these eliminates that bug as the idea behind this mod is not to re-distribute pre-generated LOD files (thus risking the previous bug from occurring) but allowing TES4LODGen to do all the work. Why, you might ask? Because the . LOD files TES4LODGen spits out are load order dependant. It is not a good idea alter those files once they have been generated for that very reason. Allowing TES4LODGen to generate the needed LOD data from an ESP (instead of dropping in pre-generated . LOD files) preserves the integrity of the DistantLOD folder, and thus minimizes bugs. Usage ======= -Place precisely ONE plugin from each LOD toggler you wish to use into your mod list and adjust the load order so they load DEAD LAST. -Run TES4LODGen -Remove the plugin from your load order when TES4LODGen finishes. DO NOT LOAD THEM INTO YOUR GAME!!! These ESPs are not intended to ever be used within the game and WILL break things if you do. I repeat, REMOVE these plugins from your load order before starting the game. Frostcrag Reborn Details ======================== -Toggles between the basic spire with only the original DLC Frostcrag visuals and the new hanging village, and the full spire with all the extensions and the dragon statue. -This includes the spire visuals for the closed city cells. Using this plugin will give you DistantLOD for Frostcrag Spire in Bruma, Cheydinhal, and the IC Market, Elven Gardens, and Prison districts. -A couple of the struts beneath the mountain that were not previously VWD have been made so. Kvatch Rebuilt Details ====================== -Allows you to toggle the walls so that they are either burnt or restored. This will also affect what buildings you see in the city if
