PCEA2 not recognized by FNIS [SOLVED]

[chill]

Hello,

I have a problem with installing my mods. I wanted to install PCEA2 (Player Exclusive Animations)[www.nexusmods.com] for my Skyrim. I already had FNIS installed so I just downloaded the mod and went ahead with installing it. Then I ran the FNIS patch (GenerateFNISforUsers.exe in Skyrim/data/toolsGenerateFNISforUsers) exactly as instructed (as administrator), double checked what mods I have and what I don't, ticked the right options and clicked on Update FNIS Behavior.

The first time I did this, everything was ok, I installed it and it worked perfectly in the game. Then something went wrong with my Dual Sheath Redux which is dependent on FNIS. I had to reinstall DSR and in the process I messed up with FNIS, so I just took the whole thing, uninstalled it and everything dependent on it, created a clean save and installed it again in the exact same order I had before. Now when I run the FNIS patch, I end up with an error:

ERROR(2022): PCEA patch ticked, but PCEA is not installed

The problem is, I do have PCEA installed. Well, it's PCEA2, but the instructions page says it should work with FNIS just like the old PCEA (which is not accessible anymore), and since it did work before, I can't figure why it doesn't work anymore. I run the patch as an admin and have all the necessary plugins active. Can you help me with this?

Just please, two things.
1) I do NOT want to use Mod Organizer, because I have over 130 mods installed via the Nexus Mod Manager and every time I tried to use Mod Organizer, it messed with my loading order and everything went wrong.
2) Yes, I checked a lot of forums and videos but could not find a solution for this particular issue. I found a thread saying that FNIS is not compatible with NMM and requires some list of mods used, but I couldn't figure what list of mods they meant, where I should get it and where it's supposed to go.

Thanks beforehand to anyone that helps.

Do not tick PCEA box from FNIS. It is meant for PCEA and FNIS will look for that, if box is checked.

PCEA2 does not need that box to be checked.

[chill]

It doesn't work if it's not patched by FNIS.

[Ilja]

It is patched by FNIS without the check box that was not made for it. I an using PCEA2 myself.

[chill]

Well, I seriously don't know what went wrong. I uninstalled PCEA2 completely, then installed it again, now it works. Curious thing that the first time FNIS managed the patch with PCEA ticked. I guess it somehow interpreted it as not ticked. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Be nice to each other, guys. People can still use this thread as a reference, even in ten years (if there's a machine that will run these things by that time). :)

First, you need to start your own discussion, and not necro or bump one from 6 years ago, especially as all issues, though they may seem the same, are different.
Second, there is no mouse icon next to your name to indicate that you own original Skyrim, which would lead me to believe that you are playing Special Edition. For all questions regarding SSE, and to ensure getting proper help, you need to post in the Special Edition forum (if indeed that is what you are playing):
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/

Either way, you will need to start your own discussion post. Thanks!

If someone wants to drag up an old post they can, I found this helpful years later

A question: Are you a mod?

One other question: Is it by any tiny little teeny weeny chance possible that a person who plays a game via the Steam family sharing function doesn't have an icon next to their name? I know the chances are not that high, but if it is possible, I would suggest that asking first is in order. Just sayin'.

A third question: Why is it necessary to start a new discussion about a topic that was previously discussed? In other forums, they keep reminding people to dig up old discussions to avoid unnecessary duplicate threads, so... why? Is that some kind of community standard here on Steam?

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
