Hey guys,

I'm planning on removing all the desert type plants/trees from my game so my game looks a little better with snow/winter type mods, just a little nervous of using the GECK as I haven't used it before so just looking for clarification of a few things and if it's even possible before i go ahead and mess things up.

I've had a little look around the GECK and know how to load things up and look around the render window, I'm assuming I can just delete things when I've selected them? Would I have to do this to every individual object I don't want in the game or is there a way to mass remove things? And then how would I go about saving all of this, just hit save and it'll become an esp file?

Apologies if it's a little vague or has already been discussed elsewhere on the forum.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the trees but basically you just delete it via the list found in the Object Window then click on the save button and make a name for the esp. If something goes wrong (crash or what not), all you need to do is just delete the esp you've made and you should be fine.......

Alright thanks for the reply, all works fine, wasn't sure if it was that simple or not.

Hey Guys,

I recently made a quick "mod" deleting some trees and plants with the GECK, however, since playing with my mod I've noticed that (what i assume is) the LOD objects for the trees and plants still appear in the distance, I've also noticed that I now get a 2D texture type of object in place of some of the trees.

I was just wondering if anyone knew where the LOD textures and things a like are stored in the GECK as I can't seem to find them to delete them. I'd also like to point out I'm new to this so any help is appreciated.

Here is a link to my mod on the nexus, might be of use if anyone wants to help or would like to see the issue:

Cheers in advance.

1st off, I'm not an expert in GECK, just interested in your issue and want to help out with my bare minimum skill and knowledge about GECK. Anywhere I assume you just deleted the trees, as in the object or meshes of the trees you found in GECK under the Tree "category"? Well, after further diving into GECK I notice that if you filter "tree" under "All", there are a few tree landscapes under "Static" and personally I think that is what causes the trees and plants to appear in a distance. So my guess is that you probably need to deal with those "Static" objects.

Just giving me thoughts on this, haven't tried it myself. Hope it helps and if it doesn't, then sorry for wasting your time~

You will have to redo the entire LOD for that world space, if I'm not mistaken. It's best not to delete or move vanilla objects because deleting the original LOD file and regenerating a new one takes a few hours, I believe. Generating LOD is a pain.

@LanPaKing I deleted them from the static category already so it doesn't seem to be that but thanks for the input.

@farts30 Ah, that's a shame, oh well, if that's the case I'm not gonna bother with it, sounds like to much effort to remove just a few things, thanks for the info!
