FNIS Crashes Before Generating Behavior Files

[Fireball8271]

I recently started redoing my Skyrim modding setup, and of course I'm trying to get FNIS up and working again. I installed the most recent version of Skyrim off Steam, and ran the best of both worlds downgrade patcher from Nexus. I installed FNIS (along with some other mods, following the beginning of LustfulLuna's guide on r/NSFWSkyrim), and both the regular and the XXL versions of FNIS fail to generate behavior files when I run them.

 

GenerateFNISforUsers.exe opens fine through MO2, but when I hit Update FNIS Behavior, the .exe just crashes without generating anything other than a tools folder with a temporary_logs folder that contains DummyStart.txt, which is empty, and a GenerateFNIS_LogFile.txt that I can't make sense of. When I tried to set the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe to output to an empty mod instead of the overwrite folder, it kept saying that the mod wasn't enabled, even when it WAS enabled with the blue checkmark active. In that case, it wouldn't run the .exe at all.

 

Running FNIS through the Plugins menu did generate a meshes folder, but it also doesn't give you any status messages, and doesn't easily let you choose what patches to run. (As a side note, I've had these problems both with and without running the skeleton arm fix patch, which is the only one I currently need to run.) I've been looking, but no one seems to have had this problem before that I can find, so I'm really hopeful someone can help me out here.

 

This is the list of mods I currently have installed in MO2:

Spoiler

SKSE (manually installed)

USSEP

Address Library for SKSE Pluggins

SSE Engine Fixes

SkyUI

UIExtensions

Alternate Start - Live Another Life

ConsoleUtil

FNIS

FNIS Creature Pack

FNIS Spells

JContainersSE

PapyrusUtil

RaceMenu

Skyrim Project Optimization

Fuz Ro D-oh - Silent Voice

AddItemMenu

BodySlide and Outfit Studio

CBBE

XP32MSSE

HDT-SMP

 

This is the contents of the FNIS log I mentioned above:

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

I tried some more things to fix it and nothing's worked so far. I did a fresh install of Skyrim, ran the full downgrade patcher and got rid of all the CC files, and tried again. My only enabled mods are USSEP, SSE Engine Fixes, SkyUI, UIExtensions, Alternate Start, Address Library, ConsoleUtil, FNIS, FNIS Creature Pack, FNIS Spells, and the FNIS Output I was trying to build to. Once again, any time I run GenerateFNISforUsers.exe, it crashes before it generates the behavior files. This time, though, it gave me another text file in the temporary_logs folder called FNISListCollect, shown below:

Now solved. The problem came from my antivirus. I set GenerateFNISforUsers, ModOrganizer, and usvfs_proxy_x64.exe as exceptions on my antivirus and that fixed the problem.

Thanks it helped. I was too lazy to work with my antivirus so I tried running my Vortex (Vortex bitched about it but I ignored) as admin and it worked like a charm.
