Those that don't want to use DynDOLOD or any other LODGen tools can use the Optional Files with pre-generated LOD --LOD will not match the mod list ... but some people aren't as discerning as others.
Tree Object LOD
Skyrim LOD (level of detail) allows distant terrain, objects, and trees to be seen by the player even when the cells are not loaded, making exteriors in the game much more visually appealing and realistic. Tree LOD can also be rendered with object LOD by DynDOLOD.
IMPORTANT:
- Native Skyrim LOD matches unmodded vanilla Skyrim ONLY (and is low quality).
- DynDOLOD can be used to generate LOD matching the current mod list
- When mod authors package LOD generated using DynDOLOD into their mods, this LOD matches their mod list at time of generation and is called "pre-generated LOD"
- Pre-generated LOD based on pure vanilla + mod yields LOD that will be accurate ONLY for those NOT using any additional mods that affect exteriors
- Most mod authors DO NOT create pre-generated LOD with only their mod active and no other mods active that affect exteriors
- Pre-generated LOD is perfect for the person that generated it BUT NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE
- The ONLY way to have LOD that matches a particular mod list is to generate LOD oneself. For example ...
- If a mod author provides pre-generated LOD in it's most compatible form (only the mod author's mod is active during LODGen), then those using a mod that adds any object to the exterior worldspace will not have LOD for that object, which will simply appear out of nowhere once the cell is loaded (pop-in)
- If a mod author provides pre-generated LOD with many other mods affecting the exterior worldpace active during LODGen, then those using a mod that adds any object to the exterior worldspace will not have LOD for that object AND will see distant objects that ARE NOT THERE and disappear when the cell is loaded (pop-out)
v2.2.1+Remade hybrid LOD models created using latest DynDOLOD 3 tools. Pre-generated LOD NOT included, per best practice. DynDOLOD 3 compatible for those generating object LOD for their mod list.
v2.1.1-
Some versions have mismatching LOD models (e.g., Alternative Trees v2.1.0). Pre-generated LOD included (LOD will reflect mod author's mod list ... install both 'LODs' and 'Billboards'). DynDOLOD 2 compatible for those generating object LOD for their mod list (do not install 'LODs', DO install 'Billboards').
Recommended DynDOLOD 3 'tree' mesh rules:

DynDOLOD 3 Support
DynDOLOD and xLODGen General Support
yeaaaah no thanks, far too lazy to problem solve this one into working :D
sadly, lookd really nice with the vanilla enb or (NO enb) cheers anyways
Please do your homework before spreading misinformation.
Dynodlod is listed as a requirement, and so much is written about it on the mod page..... tree mod authors need to START the Dynodlod section of the mod page, by making it clear it is NOT needed, and then explaining what it is, and does, in idiotic proof moron friendly language, so we KNOW it is actually NOT a hard requirement.
It is not just you, NO tree mod authors do this, they ALL go on in to deep rants about LOD, and link to slew of other mods.... and it feels like this is a MUST and is very overwhelming and intimidating if you a modding pleb who just uses a mod manager, and wants nicer landscapes because you have a gaming rig way more powerful than was around when the game came out, or is needed for SSE.
If it was a hard requirement for this mod to work, there would not be a note (or the note would say as much). Look at requirements for SSE Engine Fixes as an example. You all must actually read stuff instead of assuming
This game had tree mods before DynDOLOD was ever conceived, and none of them require DynDOLOD to work. Distant trees are just texture billboards as in the original game. Almost all tree mods DO require DynDOLOD to yield the trees they provide in unloaded cells (LOD). Once you have proper LOD, there's no going back to the old days, so I think that DynDOLOD is a soft requirement for Skyrim to "look good" whether you run pure vanilla or a modded build.
Or modify each tree NIF scale using Sniff, and then recreate the LODs from scratch (or update the existing LOD scales using Sniff followed by renaming using DynDOLOD xEdit script). Same result either way.
This mod has a great many variants that would need to be rescaled.
The rerun DynDOLOD.
Only some trees in the larger tree option are scaled 150%. You could change the scales of any set of trees, but both full and LOD models should match exactly in terms of scale and shape but for number of vertices and dead-weight data. Regardless , the full models must be modified and LOD either tweaked in the same way or created anew.
You can create the LOD for your beginner Collection yourself based on the Collection mod list and host it if you like.
Do both have the same lush trees in them?
I ended up installing both and overwriting custom with lush since both had both combined covered alot more kinds for trees... Mostly the fallen trunks and roots in custom.
You can also provide the CRC32 value of the tree models if you have 7-zip.
i am using default, large, 2k custom meshes, with sfo4 pine, sfo snowy pine, realistic aspen trees choices.
TreePineForestSnow04 seems missing collision almost completely and TreePineForestSnow05 kinda collision problem maybe, because when try to sprint in 05 my head goes in trunk but not a big deal like 04.

ss a bit bad, look at right bottom corner to my character, clipping into tree.
i think second issue possbily not related mod.
ENB or vanilla meshes?
normal or Large trees?
I can confirm in vanilla-normal, the collision mesh for TreePineForestSnow04 is from another tree with smaller trunk. This is typical to many tree mods, since collision creation and editing are not straight forward like it is with visible meshes; however, in this case, the source collision is too small.
I'd need to find a better fit from another tree and rename the corresponding LOD, which will be a while, since I'm standing by for all BGS and related mod updates before I do any modding work. In the meantime, anyone can do the same using NifSkope alone.
Thanks for the tip, i ll try in nifskope.
