It gives a warning if it isn't run from where it thinks it should be run. But it should still function even throwing up a warning.

 

i have it in the same place as i have my steam/skyrim downloaded in my c drive under program files (x86) i had taken a long 2 weeks from skyrim and modding it then i decided to give fnis another try and got it to work then found a mod i wanted to try that requires fnis so i installed it then went into fnis the same way i did to get it working and it started with it again saying that.

Your problem is : install your games into the "Program Files (x86)" ou "Programs" (if 32bit OS). Thoses directory are specificely protected by the OS and causes grat problems for games (and Steam too) with auto update. And FNIS dosen't like it too. For me, i have installed all my games + Steam and Origin outside thoses directories (on another disk in fact) and don't have this problem. And (but it isn't recommanded i know) my user is administrator too. This can help.

 

Maybe you can move Steam and games on another disk and try out ?

another disk as in another harddrive? cuz i only have the c drive, would it help or do anything if i made a new folder on my desktop and moved steam and skyrim things from program files to the folder and just create other folders in the folder for skyrim mods?

You can do that. The important thing is : move out Steam and the games of "Programs"/"Program Files (x86)".

You must launch Skyrim once through Steam.  When you do this, is adds a windows registry that FNIS is looking for to verify validity.  You only need to launch it once - just launch and quit.  The try running the Generator again and that warning will disappear.  As nutluck told you in another post.

Ok Guys I got some major issues I Just did a Fresh Install of Skyrim & I installed the Pinup Poser mod Installed SKSE, Installed FNIS 4.1.1 & Idle Spells 4.0.2 & then I loaded GenerateFNISforUsers.exe & I started my game & when I would go to use the Rings I can Select what p[ose I want but when  I put on the Play rings all I get is the armor equip sound but no animations what so ever & I also get a saying in the top left corner of my screen saying FNIS Coin has been added WTF does that mean??  LOL  so I ran a consistency check & this is what I found--->

FNIS_Errors.jpg

it's saying I am missing Certain Animations, But the original didn't even have those files it says I am missing so again WTF is up with FNIS??? LOL does anyone have any solid fix for this? I have uninstalled FNIS over 6 times & I keep getting the same thing... No animations.

 

PLEASE HEEEEELLLLLP!!! :blush:

Not a problem with FNIS.  PP has a lot of slots setup, with no animations/poses.  Basically the author setup the text file that FNIS uses with future poses in mind but never implemented them.  If you do a search for this on the FNIS page on Nexus you'll see this discussed.  It shouldn't hurt anything other than having a shit-ton of useless animation/pose slots assigned that go nowhere (if they're never called, no issue).  The author of PP should fix this, or you can take a stab at it and remove them from the text file yourself.

Ok I finally figured it out why I wasn't getting animations I fell victim to corrupt saves  so All I had to do was make a Clean save & that solved my issue, Damn that sucks when you spend soo musch time trying to figure something out only to find it was something extremely simple....Oie.

I always get this:

 
 ( 6 furniture, 10 offset, 0 alternate animations) - mt_behavior usage: 2.7 %
 ( 9 paired, 0 kill animations) - 0_master usage: 3.0 %
 1574 animations for 8 mods successfully included (character)
 1 Warning(s).
 
"1Warning(s)." This bothers me but so far the game works fine except my save bloats a little (14mb)

I have a minor issue with FNIS/Sexy moves...

 

The animations and everything works fine... but sometimes my character and some npc will walk in a T shape for a few seconds before starting the normal animation. Not sure how to fix this, or if it is fixable or maybe just lag between changing animations or what not.
