There's a ton of large references in Worldspace records, forwarded from Dawnguard.esm. Other mods that I have (including DynDOLOD) don't have them. I unticked the Hide "never shown" checkbox in xEdit Options to check on large references in my mods, and I that's how I noticed it. I removed them manually so it's not a big deal, but I'm just letting you know.
I had a problem with some mod some time ago, DynDOLOD 3 was giving me an error when I was trying to generate LOD. I asked Sheson about it and it turned out to be bogus large references, so he showed me how to find and fix them. When you open xEdit, right-click anywhere on the mod list, go to the bottom of the list and find Other -> Options. In the Options window uncheck Hide "never shown" and then click OK. Now when you go to Worldspace records (Tamriel, WindhelmWorld, RiftenWorld...Soul Cairn, Boneyard), you will see a new record Large References. Normally there shouldn't be anything there, except in ESM plugins that should contain those values. You'll see that your mod has those large references, and your mod definitely isn't a master plugin.
Love the idea of this, considering implementing your mod. However, not fully understanding the breadth of what this means, and the "ominous" sound of OPs concerns, and taking into account that the last update the day after OP, was this fixed and updated?
Question: where would you place this in your load order? Not sure if i place it higher up with the quests, or among the building/environment mods, or other.

Thanks for the mod
This ESP contains only edits to some chests in the Soul Cairn to lock them, they are overrides and changes to Dawnguard vanilla records.

I'll go away now.
