bug TES5LodGen crashes when trying to use it with Mod Organizer

[Artorius]

I've been trying to run TES$LODGen (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62698/?) through mod organizer but it keeps crashing on me.  It leaves the following bug report in my mod organizer log :

I would advise you to follow the instructions in the log and create a report in the Bug Genie and provide that dump file for @Tannin.

OK I've reported the main thrust of the issue on the tracker, however I can't currently attach the bug dump since I'm a new user of the site and haven't been cleared to upload files to the site.

Sheson on Skyrim Nexus has suggested this workaround: 
 

In the

MO

Modify Executables windows, please add the same directory TES5LODGen.exe is in to the "Start in" field.

See if that makes a difference.

Next you can also add a specific output directory away from the game files so nothing gets accidentally overwritten and it might help with this error as well. Add something like

-o:"C:\TES5LODGenOutput"

to the ""Arguments" fields

If the last is used and worked, copy the created files to the appropriate game directories or into a custom mod.

 

I've tested it and it seems to work fine so this would be a recommended workaround for the time being.
