Errors importing/exporting nifs with Blender

[SamHe11]

I had this working great years ago. Now I'm trying to get back into modelling and modding for Skyrim SE and all the new versions of everything don't seem to be syncing well for me. And even the older versions I was used to are acting....sporadic at best. Anyway.....

 

Using Blender 2.79, NifScripts 2.5.9, & Python 2.6.6/PyFII 2.1.11, I'm getting an error message when trying to activate the Nifscripts add-on in Blender (put a little check mark in the little box). It looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

I've never had this problem before so my searches to fix have been all over the board and it's quite a chunk of text to go pasting into google.

Are these versions not compatible with each other? Or does my newer hardware and OS (Acer Nitro 5 w/ Windows 10) require some kind of workaround to function correctly?

 

I'd appreciate any help.

I'll never know what the issue was, but I managed to fix it by straight up copying directory for directory from my older laptop that had it all working fine 2 years ago, to this new laptop. Now things seem to work fine. It must have had something to do with where I was installing Blender's user files to and where the NifScripts needed go (install directory vs user files directory)? I know the error message above was referring to files, or lack thereof, in user\appdata\roaming\Blender......etc.....idk. Tech these days is just passing me by. Now I just need to bronze this setup and save it forever :P
