FNIS ERROR(53)

[Gatekeeper_96]

I need help i'm having some trouble with FNIS recently. When ever I update Generate FNIS Behavior it always give me this message: ERROR(53): Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\temporary_logs\DebugData.txt'. Then when I played the game some animation not playing. It be a huge thanks if anyone can help!

First of all, you should never install the game on c:\Program Files. Windows runs some security stuff in that folder. Are you running GenerateFNISforUsers.exe from your mod manager? Try running it from the Data\Tools\GenerateFNISforUsers folder.

Reinstalling Skyrim and any of your mod managers outside of Program Files (x86) would be the best solution here.

The way permissions are handled in those Windows folders can make running software like FNIS simply a pain in the ass as it'll throw up errors. But generally your best bet would've been installing everything far away from those stock folders and instead in your own folders, for example D:\Steam or D:\Modding\Vortex.

Another solution would be disabling Windows' Real Time Protection function temporarily for duration of running FNIS and any other apps whenever you encounter a error.

Really simple to move your library to another drive or if that's possible because you don't have another drive then move it outside of Program Files:
