PATCHES
FNIS Patch
Always rerun the following FNIS Patcher if mods are added/removed that contain animations of any kind. FNIS was installed as part of Step 10 >> Part A of the Core Guide, so you already have the files. Add the FNIS Patcher to your MO executables and run the patcher as followers:
- In MO2, right-click on the last activated mod and select [All Mods] and [Create empty mod].
- Name the empty mod FNIS Output and activate it.
- Click [Configure the executables that can be started through Mod Organizer] (icon with two gears).
- Enter FNIS Patcher in the title field and locate the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe for the Binary field.
- Check the [Create Files in Mod instead of] and select the FNIS Output mod you just created and click [Add].
Now that you have the executable and the empty mod setup, run FNIS:
- Run [FNIS Patcher] from the executables.
- Check the ["GENDER Specific Animations"] and ["SKELETON Arm Fix"] options.
- Click [Update FNIS Behavior]. Once the the patcher is done, click [Consistence Check] to make sure there are no problems.
- Exit FNIS Patcher.
Bashed Patch
The Bashed Patch will be used primarily to compile Leveled Lists. Create a Bashed Patch:
- As you did for FNIS Output empty mod, create a Bashed Patch empty mod under your finished FNIS Output patch and activate it.
- Edit the Wrye Bash executable to add the Bashed Patch to the [Create Files in Mod instead of] field.
- Run [Wrye Bash] from the executables.
- In the left pane of Wrye Bash, right-click [Bashed Patch, 0.esp] and select [Rebuild Patch].
- Click [Skip] if a window opens regarding Merging.
- In the Updated Bashed Patch, 0.esp window, check only [Import Inventory] and [Leveled Lists], and click [Build Patch].
- When done, exit Wrye Bash.
Smashed Patch
The Smashed Patch will help resolve many conflicts between mods. Create a Smashed Patch:
- Repeat the process of creating an empty mod named Smashed Patch, activating it, and adding it to the Mator Smash executable.
- Run [Mator Smash] from the executables.
- In the pop-up window, select the [Skyrim SE] icon and click [OK].
- Ensure all mods are selected in the next window, and click [OK].
- Under the [Plugins] tab, highlight every mod with the exception of the Skyrim.esm at the top.
- Right-click any mod while they are all highlighted, and select [Add to patch] and [<New Patch>].
- Change NewPatch in both fields to Smashed Patch and click [OK].
- With all mods still highlighted, right-click again and select [Smash Settings] >> [Smash] >> [Smash.All].
