Always use the latest version available. Do not use or ask for outdated versions. Troubleshoot or research errors and fix their cause. In case of questions or problems ask about or report problems to the official DynDOLOD support forum.
Skyrim LE is Skyrim that includes all DLC. Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Skyrim AE) is Skyrim Special Edition (Skyrim SE) with the Anniversary DLC. The tools do not require any DLC to be installed in order to function. Installed DLC does not change the game mode or the requirements.

SKSE and DynDOLOD DLL or PapyrusUtil are used for dynamic LOD. SKSE and the DLL plugins of DynDOLOD DLL and PapyrusUtil have different versions for each runtime version of the games. The version of the runtime can be found by right clicking the executable (TESV.exe, SkyrimVR.exe, SkyrimSE.exe), Properties, Details tab and checking the entry for Product Version. In addition, the TexGen and DynDOLOD log will print log lines with version information for the runtime, SKSE, DynDOLOD DLL and PapyrusUtil DLL.
If the game is started via the SKSE loader, it will show a message in case the runtime version is not supported. The message shows the version of the runtime as well. To know which SKSE version supports which runtime version, check the skse64_whatsnew.txt included in its download archive. Optionals | |
