karrex Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hello, I dont usually have problems when it comes to using mods but when I've recently attempted downloading Fores New Idles in Skyrim I ran into a problem that I don't know how to fix. The problem occurs when I attempt to install the mod, I am using Nexus Mod Manager to do so. The error message displayed is such:http://i.imgur.com/pqw73Hb.png I tried looking in the specified location though my documents and found that in FNIS Behaviour 6.3/Data/fomod it is just an empty folder with no sign of this "info xml". Is it supposed to be provided by the download? If not where can I get it. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted16872254User Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Make sure everything is running as administrator. Don't download FNIS manually. Use the install with manager. Also make sure you have ownership of your files. There is a program called take ownership. Google it. Make sure Nexus is up to date. Make sure the game is up to date, and follow the mod instructions. It is also possible that it didn't download correctly and just needs to be done again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPochi Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I agree with spoon, if it says that its denied it means you dont have the privilege of using it. If you want to try again just uninstall/delete those files and make sure to click the green download with NMM. I just installed this recently and it works great.

karrex Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I am running as admin, I did use NMM, it was up to date and so is my game. I checked and I do have ownership of the files. I've tried re-downloading it many times. The problem, as far as I can tell, is that the fomod folder is completely empty so there is no "info xml" to access. I understand that a lot of people just don't do basic research before complaining on the forums but I'm not one of them. Would either of you know if you can find that file within your folder of the mod? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPochi Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) see if that works Edited November 22, 2016 by xPochi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karrex Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 How bizarre, I pasted that into the correct location but every time I try installing the file gets deleted. I got honestly zero clue about what's going on, but thank you for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
