petmenya Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I tried installing FNIS and a few mods and got an error when first trying to run FNIS now I've reinstalled it and still get the same error even if it's the only mod I have installed. The FULL output of the "console" portion of it is this FNIS Behavior V7.0 24/10/2017 3:09:09 AM Skyrim SE: 1.5.3.0 - M:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\ (Steam) ... ERROR(2001): templates\defaultfemale_Template.txt Any ideas what went wrong?
fore Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 It would help to see the FULL FNIS output. But for some reason (all?) .txt files are missing. defaultfemale_Template.txt and also the files from the languages folder. THat'S why you only get an incomplete error message (text missing).
petmenya Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 So what do I do to fix that? I redownloaded and reinstalled Fnis 5 times already and this is always what I get. Is it a missing file in skyrim itself? Because I verified integrity and got no missing file
petmenya Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 As an Update: I've tried reinstalling Skyrim SE and it still gives me that...
fore Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 It has nothing to do with Skyrim. Some FNIS files are missing. Look into the .7z file from the FNIS Behavior download, and look for Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\templates\defaultfemale_Template.txt and Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\languages And then look for the same in your Skyrim installation. They are missing. Make sure they are installed properly.
petmenya Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 What Fore said seems to be accurate, after comparing it turns out other than the actual launcher none of the files were extracted by NMM. All it did was put the executable and make empty folders. After manually extracting the files it seems to work now. Does that mean the issue is with my Nexus Mod Manager? Could it be because it's installed on a different drive from the game? Do I need to run NMM as admin?

Could it be because it's installed on a different drive from the game? Do I need to run NMM as admin? Doesn't hurt to run it as admin. But there is something else to check. A long time ago (couple years at least), NMM added a "feature" to not install documentation files when installing a mod (help save space, I guess). Originally it was turned on by default, but they soon released an update that had that "feature" turned OFF by default. Some people still turn this option on by mistake. Take a look at the NMM options/preference/etc and look for that option and see if it is on. If it is on, turn it off. The problem with this feature is that it prevents any text-related files from being installed, and FNIS uses lots of text files to do it's stuff.
Adiemus_Bacchante Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I had this problem too. It required me to manual reinstall everything. Be careful to delete all bits of previous installation, though. This thing is picky! I also had to manually install animations mods for some reason...
jaycoo123 Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 I fixed it!.. turns out my nexus mod manager was outdated and i uninstalled fnis then i updated nmm and i installed fnis and it works!
