A converted esp along with the original assets from TTW Arefu LOD for FO3. Original author Ozmandiaz. Original mod: TTW Arefu LOD
Description
It will provide lod for the houses in Arefu, but from looking at the esp, it should also provide lod for Megaton Clinic, Jericho's house, Lucy West's house, and the Crow's Nest in Megaton.
You must run xLODGen after installation to be able to see the lod in-game.
xLODGen for Beginners
If there's any issues, refer to the instructions @ xLODGen. You can ignore anything to do with Terrian Lod or levels.
Click the spoiler button to view instructions
- Download xLODGen
- Unzip into a dedicated folder outside of any Steam, game or mod manager folders or special Windows folders like Program Files, Users, Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc.
- Rename XLODGenx64.exe to FO3LODGenx64.exe. If you don't use MO2, go to step 5.
- If you do use MO2, ignore steps 5 to 8 and add Fo3LODgen as as tool and add -FO3 -o:"c:\Your desired LOD output location\" in the arguments field, and after running FO3LodGen, install the output as an empty mod
- Right click FO3LODGenx64.exe and send to desktop (Create a shortcut)
- Right click the shortcut and select "properties"
- In the "target" field, after the last double quotes, add -FO3 -o:"c:\Your desired LOD output location\"
- Example: "C:\Users\User Name\The location you put FO3LODGen Files\FO3Edit64.exe" -FO3 -O:"C:\Your desired LOD output location"
- Use the shortcut to run FO3LODGENx64, or if you use MO2, launch from MO2
- Click all the worldspaces in the left hand panel you want FO3LODGENx64, set Atlas and texture size to the max values
- Ignore terrain unless you want to. It isn't needed for object lod mods, and takes a long time.
- Click Generate
- When its done, go to your output folder and zip the generated lod files and give it a name you'll recognise.
- Install with Vortex like any mod. Uninstall with Vortex like any other mod
- If you want to install manually, and if you ever want to uninstall the generated lod, you're going to have issues uninstalling the 1000s of lod files that will be produced
