patchling

so far i have received: 1) a friendly welcome. 2) verification that i am indeed using the same methods that work for so many people. and 3) reduced the number of possibilities of what might be happening. i reposted that narrowed down list of options at https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer/issues/464#issuecomment-171686399 and have had help narrowing it down to about . . . one possibility, i think. @GrantSP it does not sound (to me) like i am being dismissed, just that you have given me all the help that you can. some of that help happens includes directions to a place where i may be able to get more help.

this happened with both my last computer and this one. this happens in mo but not when i use nmm. where can i get support for this issue? i am not sure if microsoft will troubleshoot this. my computer is from falcon northwest, but this problem happened with my alienware (dell) computer as well. i will try posting this bit on https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer see if they can help some more with this.

the fnis error logs i made when i first switched to mo from nmm were lost when my computer crashed. i could not get fnis to work in mo on my new computer, so i grabbed nmm to see if i could get fnis to work on my new computer with nmm. same situation, i can use fnis with nmm but not with mo. i am/was offering the logs i saved with my nmm run incase they could help with troubleshooting. yesterday i got annoyed with the situation and uninstalled/reinstalled mo. reinstalled my mods, ran fnis and got an error message. before fnis proceded to fail to generate the files a pop up gave me an error. just in time debugging is what the popup error window called it's self. short version: Could not find file 'C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\data\meshes\actors\character\behaviors\0_master.hkx'.Could not find file 'C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\data\meshes\actors\character\behaviors\0_master.hkx'. long version once more steam is giving me problems. a file in the skyrim directory went missing so i verified the integrity of the data cache and it decided to put new files in. now i cannot get the launcher to run properly to generate the data to let my stuff know skyrim exists. this problem has happened to me before and will happen to me again. i can fix it, but it will take a while. i am mentioning this because it will be a while before i can try your suggestion.

would taking a look at the logs help? i got nmm so i could get a new run log, my first logs were lost when the hd on my old machine died. so i ran up another copy, new version of fnis + new computer did not help. :( and don't mind my groumbling about my new os. just do keep in mind that it comes with so many "invasion-of-privacy features" that there were over a dozen free apps out to turn then off a week after launch, third party of course.

yes i have followed your instructions. i basically purged my skyrim instilation after switching to mo. step #1 uninstall via steam. step #2 manually remove everything remaining in my skyrim instilation directores. step #3 reinstall via steam download. even after i got a new computer with win 10 instead of win 7 i have the same problem. on a sad and semi unrelated note i am asking people to switch to the windows 10 os because i want some company in my misery with windows 10. for your sakes i recomend agnist my mistake, but i do want some company in my misery. edit: oh! forgot to mention, basically i don't use nmm if i can figure it out in mo, even then i only use it for seeing if tools will work if i use nmm instead of mo. it just sits on my hd now, not doing much. lots of space for it, and since it's not causing problems i let it stay.

you forgot to add that you can switch the instalition order without uninstalling/reinstalling everything. point in case? hdt-pe and realistic ragdolls and force mods don't "overwrite" each other, but if i don't have hdt installed before ragdolls i have problems. in nmm this means i have to reinstall, with mo i just change the priority numbers realitive to each other. trying new mods? depending on the mod(s) in question you may have to unstall over 90% of your mods to get them installed in the correct order if you are using nmm/manual. but mo? a bit of "sort by piroity" drag and drop will do.

thanks for the friendly welcome. however i do not use nmm, except to see if something is a problem with mo or my computer. i like to keep my C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data folder clean, so i use mo as my main/only mod manager. the only time i have anything installed with nmm is when i am going after finial confermation that it is not an issue caused by mo, after that final testing anything that got put in with nmm gets taken right back out. the rest of the time nmm unused. even though mo can't tell the difference if something was installed with nmm or manually, i checked that. when i first started modding i was using nmm, it was simple and easy to use. after i started getting serous about mods i looked for information on this "mod organizer" advanced moding tool i had heard about, and decided to switch. i had no problems using fnis in nmm, but this was years ago. i have been doing without fnis since i switched to mo, but a good number of mods i want to use thes days require fnis, so here i am finally asking for help on how to get fnis running in mo. the rest of the tools i use run just fine in mo, i am only having problems with fnis. my "real" instalitation only has skyrim legendary edition, steam version of skse and enboost in it. i followed your enboost and memory patch setup guides. my mo test was only with the actual institlation, nothing from nmm was used. nmm test was much the same thing, same hadfull of fnis compatible mods, but using nmm as the installer/mod manager.

i have not been able to get fins working in mo and was told i could get some help asking here. i followed these instructions in installing fnis in mo. the videos i watched mutpile times, following the instructions as i was doing so. pausing the video as i did what i was told to do, sometimes i needed to back up a bit because i did not quite catch what had been said. ghopher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpOuGN-yr6E&index=11&list=PLE7DlYarj-DcLS9LyjEqOJwFUQIIQewcK gamer poets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MqZ-EPdBvk s.t.e.p. guide: https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#Third_Party_Programs these are the two fnis messages from my most recent attempts, hope my attempts at using spoiler tags works. mo nmm i also have an 808 kb log from my mo test run, and a 1185 kb log from my nmm run. edit: spoiler tags work, still cannot figure outhow to add the logs from my fnis tests.
