FNIS + Nemesis

[combine_47]

Hi everyone!
I'm playing Skyrim with a large mod pack (not my own). The author of the pack uses Nemesis for several mods to function. Unfortunately, this means that some SL mods won't work. If I install FNIS instead, then some mods that require Nemesis won't work.

 

This forum has previously discussed various ways to run FNIS and Nemesis together. However, those were old posts from several years ago. There might be more up-to-date methods to use both tools at the same time. If anyone has experience, please share your thoughts.

 

Unfortunately, Pandora doesn't work with this mod pack. It causes crashes, so that solution isn't suitable for me.

Nope.

Try a different version. Every Pandora version has a unique bug to it; there's probably one that doesn't cause a crash.

Thanks, I'll try to test it out.

"I agree. This guide is just overcomplicating things.

For Vortex users:

"nstall both FNIS and Nemesis. Enable FNIS and disable Nemesis. On the Mod tab, set up FNIS is you like. Go to Setting, enable Run FNIS on Deployment. Deploy. Let FNIS finish generating (Alt-Tab to see and close the process). A FNIS Data mod would appear on your modlist. Disable Run FNIS on deployment. Enable FNIS Data. Disable FNIS. Enable Nemesis. Check the appropriate boxes. Run Nemesis. Done. Run the game with FNIS disabled, and FNIS Data and Nemesis enabled"

 

And have both working no problem. when I used the 1.5.97 and now that I use 1.6.1170, and still works. You could try this. It sounds complicated, its not.

If this doens't work there is Zaz Pandora patcher on Nexus, with video installation guide and. It install 3rd party software, (my PC is already a cesspool, so idc). Works for me with Nemesis combat mods and SL stuff.

Thank you very much. It doesn't sound too complicated, I'll give it a try!
