GrandeASRoma Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hello guys need some help because i can't figure out how to solve the problem: FNIS: >>Warning: Bad installation. Generator not run from a Skyrim installation directory.<<FNIS Behavior V5.1.1 29-9-2014 16:51:30Skyrim: ??.?? - C:\Steam try\steamapps\common\Skyrim (Steam)Generator: C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\Mod Organizer\mods\FNIS Behavior 5.1.1\Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe>>Warning: Bad installation. Generator not run from <Skyrim_Data>\Tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users.<< Skeleton female: Default (99 bones) male: Default (99 bones) : The directory isn't good since it gotta be C:\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim(Steam), I once had Steam on both C: and :D installed and the one in C: i called Steam Try i changed this name so the problem would end and i reinstalled: Mod Organizer and FNIS on it (had to delete all mods) now FNIS can't find the right Skyrim directory and i don't know how to change it. Steam does still start up Skyrim vanilla without a problem and so does SKSE from ModOrganizer which is in the date folder of skyrim. Help would be great also i can't get Boss working inside of Mod Organizer while i know i did it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandeASRoma Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Didn't find what you meant.. I uninstalled Skyrim again and now the folder is good but still FNIS can't find it.

camaro_69_327 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) How are you installing FNIS? All it wants is to be in the "TOOLS" folder inside Data...When you install FNIS there should be 3 folders /meshes /scripts /tools they all belong in the "data" folder. then you run fins from its folder inside the "tools" folder/. Mine even worked from this folder tree...lol E:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\ModOrganizer\mods\Fores New Idles in Skyrim - FNIS\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Modders As long as the folder TOOLS is present FNIS does not seam to care. EDIT to add: This is not even in teh Skyrim folder its one UP from the skyrim folder "Common" Have you created a "RUN" exe for FNIS and are running the "GenerateFNISforModders.exe" from INside MO?

fore Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 You don't understand Virtual File Management. FNIS should NEVER see the path of the MO mods. It is the mod managers responsibility to make it look for FNIS like it were in the Skyrim\Data. Your mistake is different. You haven't installed FNIS properly in MO. This part in your generator path is too much: "FNIS Behavior 7.4.5\Data\". Get rid of it, and it will work. And before you loose all of your hair: read instructions, or watch one of those many available videos. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generator: F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exethat hopefully will allow FNIS to work correctly.
