Since a lot of the community are not aware of what is or the purpose of having it generated, let me clarify
"In computer graphics, accounting for Level of detail involves decreasing the complexity of a 3D model representation as it moves away from the viewer or according to other metrics such as object importance, viewpoint-relative speed or position."
That is the exact definition of LOD but all we need to know about LOD is how it affects our game. The two things the LOD fixes are primarily performance and visuals.
LOD affects performance by reducing frame drops, the reason why is because when you walk or fast travel to new areas the game needs to generate new areas which can cause frame drops. With generated LOD this issue is no more since everything is already generated!
As for visuals everyone has likely noticed how bad the distant terrain is in the vanilla game most of it is not generated at all and really low resolution, especially if using a texture pack the LOD will be mismatched and will look horrendous. With generated LOD that issue is once again no more and the distant terrain now looks relatively good now and matches as close as possible.
I have an entire guide on generating LOD on GUN https://www.gunetwork.org/t19200-lod-generating-guide#326183
This LOD is only for NMC's texture pack https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/43135?tab=description both the original and the Washed out Wasteland versions.
