Animations will not work

[SerpentWave]

I recently came back to the world of Skyrim to see what new mods were offered and to give it another playthrough.

 

I never had any issues with certain mods in the past, but I simply cannot get any of my old animations that I used to use, to work.

 

I use FNIS and have tried reverting back to the old CHSBC skeleton. No animations will work, whatsoever. 

 

Even when I use the XPMS (extended version - LL) with XP32's animations, they simply will not work. I wonder if there is a conflict somehow, with PCEA and the animation mods that I would like to use (VHH LX w/ walk backward compatibility), or if somehow FNIS has created a weird behavior that wont let me use them.

 

I am trying to simply use the "Martial Arts" animations (to start with) from Evanoblivian

 

What I get is the same old animations. Is there an install order that I should install the animations in?

CHSBC>CBBE>Animations>FNIS? 

 

Any help is greatly apreciated 

(Please forgive me for I have forgotten so much in Skyrim modding that my knowledge base has returned to a complete newb lol.)
