Ah ok, I thought the CTD's were animation, and therefore FNIS related...my mistake. I've removed a few mods I recently installed, so will look at those as the cause of the CTD. I'm not aware of any animations coming from an 'overwrite' mod, and have no idea why FNIS appeared in the Data folder this time.......and even less of a clue why it still won't recognise my other mods. Sorry to be a noob and a pain, but can you suggest where I might start tracking this problem down, please?

wow what a quick response! Call me Impressed.com lol I'm not sure what you mean by AV, and I've downloaded a lot of other mods tonight without trouble, so would that indicate it's not a firewall thing? As I said, I've had FNIS before and haven't changed any anti virus or firewall options since. The Complete Fix gives identical results to everything else.....47 animations. I've just now installed a mod, chosen at random, from Nexus, which worked perfectly. So it's not an issue with Nexus. All I know is, using a child replacer mod, every time I go to take off or switch clothes, specifically with the female models, I get a CTD which I've not had before...and it's vanilla clothing. The latest development is, completely frozen character and NPC's, but I can now change clothing without crashing, I just can't move, fight, run, etc. A new install placed a file 'FNIS Behaviour 5.5-Always Necessary' in my Skyrim data folder, but none of the three other files (fix, spells, creatures), and I got the usual 47 animations.

Up to half an hour ago, I had MO and FNIS working perfectly. Then, I got a CTD issue where, using Alternate Start, if I removed my clothes in the initial prison cell, (but not shoes, they were fine), the game just quit. Every time, without fail. I tried a skeleton reinstall, this didn't work so I thought it might be an animation issue, and uninstalled FNIS by 'removing' from the left pane of MO, the right pane of MO, and removing the executable. And now, FNIS absolutely refuses to reinstall. I download from nexus, as usual, taking the 'always necessary' the creature pack and the spells add on. These appear in the 'download' list and in the list of plugins (and yes, I checked the boxes lol) but nowhere in any of my Skyrim/Mod Organizer/Download folders. On one attempt, I did find the files in Downloads, but the Tools file was actually empty....no Generate for Users or any other file. On several occasions, the FNIS executable has reappeared after I removed it, after I've reinstalled FNIS but before I've attempted to restore the executable the normal way. It's as if, once downloaded, the files simply disappear. I'm completely baffled, and appreciate any and all help, because without FNIS, I can't play. Manually downloading the file to desktop and physically moving it to 'Mod Organizer/Mods does give me access to the programme....however it only recognises 1 file, giving me 47 animations (I previously had something like 1800 over about seven/eight mods) and tells me the creature pack is not installed, which as I said before, is one of the 3 files I downloaded. Same goes for putting it into the Data folder in Skyrim.......47 animations and no creature pack
