  - SSELODGen recommended settings (The one I use, if you have a better idea, tell me I'm not an expert):
  -- For the 1k version (recommended):
  --- Object Lods : CHECKED (you don't say :p )
  --- Build Atlas : CHECKED
  --- atlas size : 8192 * 8192
  --- max texture size : 1024
  --- in UV range : 1.5
  
  -- For the 512 version:
  --- Object Lods : CHECKED
  --- Build Atlas : CHECKED
  --- atlas size : 4096* 4096
  --- max texture size : 512
  --- in UV range : 1.5
  
  -- For the 2048 version:
  --- Object Lods : CHECKED
  --- Build Atlas : CHECKED
  --- atlas size : 8192 * 4096 <- yes, most of the texture will not be in the atlas, so 4k*8k is enough...

  4. Locate your diffuse texture:
  There are located in:
  <skyrim directory>/data/textures/terrain/<world>/objects/<world>ObjectsLOD.dds
  
  <world> is the name of the 14 vanilla default worlds (more if you have mods adding one).
  It can be, for example, "Tamriel" in this case the texture path is:
