My problem is: Land LOD isn't visible in my exterior small-world flagged island, which is accessible from a ship in ICW. The island is stored in an .ESP. I found out that if I convert it to .ESM, the land LOD turns visible. The only problem about that is that when loaded the .ESM deletes the whole Waterfront and makes holes here and there throughout IC (possibly everywhere, I haven't checked it yet).
So, what can I do to fix this? I NEED the LOD, and I'm not so keen on falling through holes in the IC . Also, I'll need to make a map for the island, but how exactly is it done?

Making the landscape LOD work is explained here: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Landscape_LOD_Tutorial#Additional_Notes. For the worldspace map you would click on Add Image File under the world space menu. A detailed article on setting up the map can be found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=263.

Well well well... That LOD thing sure did the trick, thanks for that, but i've tried that mapping techinque before with no results. The map still doesn't show up
