Fore's New Idles in Skyrim - FNIS (by fore)

[agentsmith]

I also just noticed all the *.tri files in the Overwrite folder. At first I had a brief a "wtf?!" moment, then I googled, and now I'm simply drag/dropping them into my "FNIS Output" mod per "3.A.3 Fore's New Idle System (STEP Extended Only)" in STEP 2.2.8. I'm hoping this doesn't require a new bashed patch since I'm not looking forward to rebuilding that every time I go through char creation.

How many times do you create a new character? And building a bashed patch takes like 2 minutes..

[agentsmith]

I make a new character every time I install a set of new mods and go through the opening carriage drive to benchmark the stability/performance of my install.

 

I guess you're implying that a new bashed patch *is* necessary...

No only if you install new mods that have plugins. Otherwise you don't have to run it.

Oh ok. That makes sense. I usually test stability by CoCing from the main menu.

Forum link from wiki takes you to Beauty of Skyrim - something thread instead :P I think it would be good to check the links after the move to new forum.

 

That's not primarily why I am posting, though.

Wiki says to tick the skeleton arm fix option during configuration of the mod.

My question is, shall I tick the rest of the options if I use those mods?

 

I still don't quite understand the purpose of FNIS, because I couldn't care less about new idle animations triggered by some weird spells (that's what I understand from looking at Nexus...).

Shouldn't problems with Maximum Skeleton be fixed by its author?

FNIS is the all-in-one fix for all animation/skeleton mods. Its not just about idles but pretty much every animation in the world of Skyrim. Maximum skeleton does include a fix for non-FNIS users, however it is generally accepted that FNIS is much more compatible as it will also take into account any other installed mods.

[Octopuss]

I see.

So if I only use XP32, the included fix solves all the problems and I don't need FNIS at all?

As long as you don't have ANY major animations mods installed such as immersive animations, etc.

[Octopuss]

I don't think so, at least not anything that adds new animations.

 

...but actually, I'm gonna go check the animation mod you mentioned. Just to see what is it about.

Is this a problem?

 

Hm... I ran the generator, and nothing happened. Wiki says I will have files in overwrite, but there's nothing at all. I have absolutely no idea what went wrong.

You need to run FNIS through Mod Organizer.

[Octopuss]

I did, but something was wrong with the paths and executables or something. No idea how I fixed it though, lol.

Roll back to v4 and see if that works.

[Vulgar1]

So I need some clarification. Am I supposed to run FNIS and then create a Bashed Patch? I've been doing it the other way around.

 

In regards to placement of the FNIS files themselves (I use all 3), in Mod Organizer under the left installed mods panel, I place them at the very bottom just above any Custom Output. Does that sound right?

 

Also agentsmith stated above that he drags and drops the .tri files found in the Overwrite folder into the FNIS Output Folder and no one corrected him, so is that what I am supposed to do? I usuially just delete them or leave them where they are.
