What is the optional file for - the DistanceLOD files?
what giodoa and tojka said below
from the readme:
"If you want main building of The Collectos Society Guild to be visible from distant then copy "DistantLOD" sub-folder from "Artifacts_OptionalFiles" folder to "Oblivion\Data" folder."
Installing those will show the Collector's Society building from further away. You don't need those if you use Tes4LODGen, i believe.
Correct you do not need to install them if using tes4lodgen has long has artifacts.esp is activated in load order when you run tes4lodgen it will generate the needed lod files itself.
But the Collectors Building is So hard to See because of trees blocking it..only good view is from the IC Area looking toward it...
