Just a note from me (the creator of the optional terrain LOD and world map textures for YALO):
DO NOT USE THE OPTIONAL FILES!
I created them with outdated tools and they are not really optimised, thus giving a performance hit for not so good visual quality. Especially the normal maps, they do not give any detail, have errors in them and consume your VRAM.
PRO TIP: USE xLODGEN TO GENERATE CUSTOM TERRAIN LOD!
xLODGEN is in Beta right now but it is simply superior to ANY of my terrain LODs provided in the optionals and basically any Terrain LOD mods. It has a feature to bake landscape texture details into the LOD normal map, which is amazing.
Cheers!
EDIT: @TheCareTaker Feel free to make this a sticky post
EDIT 2: If I get a reasonable amount of requests, I might provide some premade LODs for YALO using Sheson's new xLODGEN, so people going full YALO won't need to run xLODGEN.
Can you make this mod compatible with Amazing Sallower Tweaks SE, the house that you can buy from that mod has a terrain problem where in the front you can see into the ground. I love both these mods but it is annoying having a terrain at the front of the house. I know you probably wont but it would be cool.
I originally downloaded the LE version of this cuz I thought I grabbed all the SE landscape texture mods and just assumed this wasn't ported over yet. When I saw how dark the textures were tho, I remembered something about how LE landscape textures needed a specular map in order to work right in SE. But I found this was ported to SE and manually downloaded it but all the textures are still very dark, at least in preview form, which shouldn't really differ from in game.
I have the same problem, but does not matter what file I download. All of these files are corrupt giving a error code 0x80004005 when trying to unzip. Any other mods i download work just fine.
If anyone is having trouble unzipping files I just figured out how to unzip them properly. When you download file it uses windows' zip extractor. Install the latest 7zip and right click the zip file. Click 7zip, open archive, and then just drag and drop file where you need. Problem solved.
