Ive tried a bunch of settings myself in fo4lodgen, but they're all just pot shots that end up looking the same or even blockier, or missing the majority of leaves making the fade in even more noticable. Problem would be solved entirely if i could work out how to get the mod's stock LOD's so they look like the actual autumn leaved trees rather than green and white blobby cardboard cutouts. LOD blend distance seems as you'd expect now without having to go to ugridstoload 7 so happy days.
Thanks for that, actually made some progress for once, really appreciate it.
