Fnis broke after installing sexlab framework

[imazombie358]

im using vortex, and i have, to my knowledge, all the right settings applied for fnis to run properly.

 

after a full day of figuring out why im seeing T-poses after a full reinstall of my mods(including the game itself), i've discovered, at 2 am in the morning, why.

 

1. fnis isnt running properly. after looking around for why, i've been given some rough ideas about some misplaced ini file but i've no idea how to go where to get what to do what with what. after the third full reinstall of everything today, i've discovered that this problem only occurs upon installing sexlab, aka the framework part.

 

i got most of what i wanted working, until i got sexlab framework, to my knowledge, properly installed and working, except i've not used any of the sex animations(because i believe i dont have any), so i close out of the game to go install some. i open vortex, install a prerequisite(slal) for more nasty creatures.

 

i expected fnis to run after enabling slal in vortex, but it did not run, so i ran it manually.

 

i ran into the same problem i encountered numerous times today; fnis does not appear to run, though apparently it does run and tries to do its thing, and then quits. no menu pop up or anything. even after uninstalling sexlab framework. i fear the worst, and that once i reload the previous save(without sexlab framework), my character will be t-posed, and i will have to do a full reinstall of everything again, and just forget about sexlab.

 

before i do this, i'd like to know what i could be doing wrong, to fix the issue and go back to doing what i use to before the anniversary update(i've used a patcher to patch skyrim se back to the proper version compatible with skse64, and everything else seems to be working fine, aside from animations).

 

my greatest thanks in advance for any help provided.

Always run FNIS manually before creating new game.

 

Look through FNIS window log and make sure there are no errors or severe warnings.

 

While debugging use an alternative start mod like Skyrim Unbound or Live Another Life (for Special Edition). Lets you skip slow default game intro and saves you a lot of time.

 

Make sure that Steam is not auto updating game. Go to Steam settings and pick a timeperiod when Steam is allowed to download patches. Select a timeperiod when you are usually not online. Now your game should stay at default SE version 1.5.97

 

You need Sexlab version 1.63 for game version 1.5.97

FNIS shouldn't automatically close, at what point is it doing that?

 

I.e. do you get to see the big update button or is it totally not opening

 

 

 

If this never appears then trying running as an admin

 

If you are getting to the point of clicking update FNIS behavior posting the log it creates would help

i went without sexlab and everything is indeed working fine, though i believe(and im not sure which one caused this) a mod broke something and now my tits arent jiggling. this does not bother me, but the ass jiggles. also doesnt bother me, but i believe this could help point me in the right direction.

 

to answer the questions, it goes like this.

first time attempting to add mods for sexlab framework(more nasty critters, fill her up, ect) after installing sexlab framework

load vortex

install and enable sexlab mods that use fnis
upper right hand corner notification says fnis is running
notification disappears after 6 or 7 seconds
(nothing else happens)
close out of vortex
run skyrim
everything that uses fnis animations is immobile(except the player) and T-posed, but still capable of conversation. mouth animations work.
close skyrim
load vortex 2nd time
navigate to fnis tool, manually run
(nothing happens)

i have not installed sexlab framework or any sexlab mod in this new playthrough, though the mods that fnis ran for initially do work fully(sexy sit and idle animations mods), but my boobs do not jiggle. i am using cbbe, cbpc, and a mod that makes female bodies sexier, all three of which i believe are fully compatible with each other.

however, during previous attempts with different playthroughs, installing other fnis animation mods after (load vortext 2nd time) make everything that uses fnis immobile(again, aside from the player) and t-posed, so i assume the same thing will happen if i try to install sexlab stuff before fixing this problem.

as i've stated before, and i cant find where i saw it, but it appeared that someone else was having a similar problem. i cannot remember if the problem they were experiencing was solved or not, though i assume not, considering where i am, or it was too complicated to follow.

 

in this post i read, someone responded, saying that fnis was actually running, but not fully. apparently it will run and then close before getting to the point where any notification or window pops up. currently, no fnis window or notification pops up after installing mods that would make fnis run, or manually running fnis through the tool option.

 

thank you all for helping me out! regardless of the outcome i am very happy people even still do this kinda thing.

 

hopefully ES6 more easily adopts adult animations..

i ran fnis for users exe as administrator, and it actually ran. however, it gives me an error, and since i used the exe as administrator, a weird vortex message pops up. i have yet to actually confirm and delete the 4 files because it just sounds odd to replace (fnis behaviors) with fnis data.

 

it tells me that running skyrim through steam once will fix the issue, but i highly doubt it actually will, because even running it ONCE through steam will update the game, and that will 100% break the version of skse i have to use, as i am using SE, and SE, to my knowledge, is the only version compatible with more nasty critters.

 

none of my favorite mods are available to AE, and the most recent version of skse absolutely requires skyrim 1.5.79, the version before AE.
