I am having an odd visual bug with foggy weathers and SSS in Skyrim SE, particularly with distant 3D LOD trees generated by DynDOLOD and some landscape textures. Here is a picture showing the problem:

In short, under foggy weathers with SSS enabled, LOD trees do not have any fog effects applied to them. I have tried multiple enbs and both Climates of Tamriel and Natural Atmospheric Tamriel, though I suspect this is an issue with DynDOLOD LOD trees? If I disable SSS, using the skin toggle under prepass, fog is correctly applied to distant LOD tress, but then I lose all SSS effects.
Any input is highly appreciated, thanks!

How to see this myself, what to install but not skse dependent?

I think you could duplicate this by installing Cathedral Weathers and Seasons (the weather mod I am currently using), DynDOLOD, enhanced vanilla trees, and generate full 3D tree LODs with DynDOLOD.

I can't use any software like that for security reasons on my pc. I will ask users how to make this in other way.

Re: Skyrim SE Visual bug in foggy weathers with SSS
I suspect you're using the prepass from the "Shader Addon" mod then. It has a few problems with things like 3D tree LODs that the ENB SSS itself doesn't normally have. Disabling the prepass skin shader doesn't remove the SSS from your game, it just removes the "filter" thats added over the actual SSS.If I disable SSS, using the skin toggle under prepass

Forget it, according to my code no objects can have sss unless it do have sss itself in shader. So those trees are sss objects and i can't ignore them as it would mean to ignore something else too.

Thats right, I am using prepass. Ok, I will just disable it.Kitsune wrote:I suspect you're using the prepass from the "Shader Addon" mod then.

Fair enough, thank you for the explanation.ENBSeries wrote:Forget it, according to my code no objects can have sss unless it do have sss itself in shader. So those trees are sss objects and i can't ignore them as it would mean to ignore something else too.

Re: Skyrim SE Visual bug in foggy weathers with SSS
I've actually encountered the exact same thing, I was rather confused whether it's an actual weather or whether it's some kind of bug as the same weather happened like 6 times within an hour or two.
Did it really work disabling the prepass skin shader?
How did you disable it ?
