FNIS With MO problem

[Frightnen]

I've verified skyrims integrity, cleared the overwrite file (although it was empty to begin with), and tried having MO installed outside of the skyrim folder. I'm using MO 2.0.4 and have made a github problem page here:https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer/issues/635#issuecomment-201965106

 

I have not pirated it, and I dont get the warning or error 5 if i use it outside of mod organizer.

Here's my FNIS Log

 

>>Warning: Bad installation. Generator not run from a Skyrim installation directory.<<

I see you are attempting to use the "GENDER Specific Animations" patch, and the error appears to relate to not having an "Animations/male" and "Animations/female" folder in your virtual MO file-system. What mod are using to provide the gender specific animations?

If you using Mod Organizer with Skyrim, you should use Mod Organizer 1.3.11 from Nexus. Mod Organizer 2 Alpha is a 64-bit version for Fallout 4.

[Frightnen]

Doing that leads to the error:

 

---------------------------

Error

---------------------------

archive.dll not loaded: "Cannot load library dlls\archive.dll: The device is not ready."

---------------------------

OK   

---------------------------

 

Someone recommended using MO2 as a fix for that, which worked, but led to this fnis problem.

I think I've seen a couple of others report that same error with Mod Organizer 1.3.11, but I don't think anyone has figured out what causes it or how to solve it. Have you reported this to Tannin in the github bug tracker?

[Frightnen]

Tannins the one who recommended i switch to 2, right here: https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer/issues/533#issuecomment-193131670

 

Didn't realize it was tannin who did so until I looked back.

@Frighten

You may have noticed in the GitHub report that the user @DerpKat had issues due to his system trying to access files over differing networks. I notice in your OP that you have these tools installed onto a J: drive.

Is this a NAS device? Or perhaps some other drive controlled by software other than Windows own system?

I see you've ensured that Skyrim has been run at least once from outside MO, so that's one point checked.

[Frightnen]

Nope, J: drive is just another hard drive. Not managed by another program.

 

Sorry for the late reply.

[GrantSP]

No need to apologise, we're all over the globe with differing timezones, so no issue.

 

Okay let's get into the nuts and bolts.

Clear the logs folder of anything currently in it and select a suitable profile that contains all the animation mods you need.

Run FNIS and afterwards post here the contents of the logs folder and also the zipped contents of the current profile. In additiona a copy of your MO INI so we can see the paths to all the programmes you are using.

[Frightnen]

Ayyyy!!! It worked! I cleared my current mods and reverified skyrim and heres the log result

That was without any mods, so one of my steam workshop mods is incompatible with FNIS?

You can't use MO with ANY mods installed directly into the Data folder, ie. Steam installed. They will not be correctly handled and will cause conflicts with overwrites not being detected until in game.

Grab a copy of the Steam mod by directly downloading it and move the archive into the MO downloads folder and install it that way. Be sure to unsubscribe to any mods so they aren't re-acquired again.
