Stuck on Step 5 (xLODGen) for S.T.E.P. v0.3.0b

[darkgreenhorizon]

The short version: I'm missing a plugin for SSE-Terrain-Tamriel.esm

 

Longer version: I'm going through the S.T.E.P. v0.3.0b guide and made it to Step 5 / xLODGen / Preparation (Terrain LOD preparation):

 

3. Ensure the new plugin is active in the plugin list (checked).

 

I have already acquired the SSE-Terrain-Tamriel.esm from the forum (item 1), and moved it to the "Overwrite" folder (item 2), but these acts do not create any new plugins on the "Plugins" tab. Furthermore, I see a log message at the bottom of MO2 which reads "Plugin not found: SSE-Terrain-Tamriel.esm".

 

Will someone please help me understand what I need to do before I can move on to the Generation subsection? Thank you.

Refresh your mods after installing it.

Thank you! I followed your advice, then immediately applied my palm to my forehead. "Doh!" (Initially, I didn't see a "refresh" option on the Plugins tab, but after clicking "refresh" on the Data tab, the plugin showed up on the Plugins tab, unchecked. I checked it. Now, I'm good to go!)

Most of the time it'll do it on it's own, but sometimes when the change is needed to be seen right away, you'll have to refresh. This is just for the UI. The file will be there as long as you've copied it over. So for example, you copy it over, don't see it, but launch xLODGen anyway, you will see the file listed on xLODGen. It's just MO's UI being a bit slow on it's auto-refresh.
