Increase LOD bias

Now that CK's extreme graphics mod is discontinued, I am searching for a way to increase the LOD bias. This is the only reason I used this mod (remove pop-in from lower detail models on maps where my PC can handle it).
I have looked into the code of the mod and found the variable in game-settings-default.cs called $pref::TS::detailAdjust, which used to be updated by the mod to a max value of 8 (800/100) in game-settings.cs in the user folder.

However, changing this value manually and saving the file seems to have no effect ingame because the file in the user folder is overwritten as soon as I load the game, and it takes priority over the default file in the base game folder.
It would be ideal to have a setting for the LOD bias in the Level Editor, so I can tweak and save it on a per-level basis, but I cannot find it anywhere
