FNIS won't load animations
Ok so i'm having some problems with my FNIS. (I AM USING VORTEX) I have Os*x installed but FNIS dosen't want to load the animations for it .I have Pretty Combat Animations SSE installed and it works.

This is what the FNIS tells me when i run it (I've checked the "GENDER specific animation" and the "SKELETON arm fix" boxes) :

FNIS Behavior V7.4.5 2/20/2019 5:06:24 PM
Generator: D:\Vortex Mods\skyrimse\FNIS Behavior SE 7_4_5-3038-7-4-5\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe
>>Warning: Bad installation. Generator not run from <Skyrim_Data>\Tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users. If you use a mod manager, run FNIS from its list of supported tools.<<
Skyrim SE 64bit: ??.??.?? - D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\ (Steam)

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Sounds like that could be the problem, no?

Do you have the OSA Ascendancy Engine installed ? You need this for os*x to work. There are also add-ons for animation packages. Go back to the mod page and read everything is the best advice.

Also, run FNIS from Vortex, not from a shortcut or from the exe


Yes I did install ascendancy engine
