The gamma correction noted in the STEP guide results in the terrain snow LOD (as well as other terrain) matching the rest of the mountains/rocks objects as well as the full terrain (as in your third image, which IMHO looks correct and consistent with the rest of the landscape). With Cathedral Landscapes (CL) and Majestic Mountains (MM) installed (as in STEP), CL provides the noise map. It happens if other plugins - including DLC - overwrite landscape data of Skryim.esm.ДЄpparently, that (crappy) vanilla snow LOD is only white because of the vanilla version of /textures/terrain/noise.dds in combination with the vanilla terrain LOD. The visual issue with the mountain range of the Oscape meshes is a well known bug of Oscape, where cells have bottomless terrain LOD. This is fixed by using the protect cell borders setting in xLODGen. The red circled areas point out a common visual bug of vanilla/Oscape meshes, which are terrain drops at the edge between active cells and terrain LOD. As always, it is generally better trying to find the cause of an issue and fix that if possible, instead of using band aids / workarounds for the symptoms. Because the full water immediately loads and does not fade, the LOD coastline and shallow islands simplyВ disappear for a second until the full terrain is faded in.

Watch out for the very obvious rise of the z-shifted terrain LOD meshes.ДЇlipping back and fourth the first and second images shows why z-shifting terrain LOD is not a useful workaround (in case the straight line artifact of the first scene seemed bearable). No artifacts for all 4 types of terrain LOD meshes. The right image shows the same scene again, not with the fade disabled. Lowering the terrain LOD seems to eliminate the issue, but pay attention to the video, as a straight line can be seen the currently active cell and the loading cell while the fade happens. In case of the high resolution xLODGen the terrain LOD more or less matches the full terrain exactly, so z-fighting happens. If the terrain LOD mesh is slightly higher, then the fading of the full terrain can not be seen because it is underneath the terrain LOD. Terrain LOD meshes and full terrain meshes now briefly at same time while the full terrain is faded it. The left image shows the artifacts that happen because of the new fade mode. Here are some stills from the video to point out what to look for. If the terrain LOD textures (together with noise.dds) match the full textures well, the artifacts are barely visible if at all.

Lower right showВ high quality = 0 xLODGen meshes with protect cell border.ДЇor the video the terrain LOD textures have been made way too bright to better show the artifacts. Lower left shows high quality = 0 xLODGen meshes with protect cell border which are z-shifted (lowered) by 25 units - an idea suggested by users.

Top right meshes were generated with Oscape and are from the mod Terrain LOD Redone. Top left shows vanilla Skyrim Special Edition meshes. I did several tests back when we discussed the issue, but it seemed prudent trying to explain this issue and its simple fix properlyВ with videos and images since more people seem to notice the issue. Add the setting to the INI to disable the stipple fade so that terrain fades like it does in Skyrim. After some testing, we realized this is caused by a new land fade feature added to Skyrim Special Edition (and Skyrim VR) - which thankfully can be disabled:Д«y default this setting is missing from the Skyrim.INI and thus defaults to 1 = enabled. A couple month ago we discussedВ flickering while new terrain is loading in Skyrim Special Edition.
