#1 You might notice that Mod Organizer will show an 'unlock' button over it. You are also advised to have a clean 'Overwrite' folder for the files that FNIS creates to go to.Īfter all that has been done then come back and finish this tutorial.Ĭlick on FNIS and click 'Run' a window will open up outside of Mod Organizer.

FNIS is one of the last things you run after the SkyProc patches and merged mods and such. These are unique to your particular mod setup. Another thing you need to know is your mods you are running in Mod Organizer so you can select the various check boxes on the bottom of the FNIS panel. If you haven't started Skyrim and set up the graphics you need to do so before running FNIS or it will give you an error about having an improper Skyrim install. There are a few things you need to do before this. Now you have to set FNIS up for the game. You have FNIS installed and ready to be used. Click on that and you will see various entries of executable that you have installed and Mod Organizer already recognizes.Ĭongratulations. To the right of that is a drop down panel. To start with this step we will move to the top of the right side. I want to take a moment to let you know that all executable that are needed to access the mods in Mod Organizer must be ran through MO. This instructions shroud work for most of them.

I will try to keep the instructions on how to create an entry in MO for executable as simple as possible and something you can do with other executable you might have going forward. If you screw something up, most of the time it is a simple fix of going back, delete what you did and doing it correctly the next time. The design of Mod Organizer is to protect your game folder. Follow those setups until you are sure of what you are doing. There are many sources and ways to set up what is called an executable in Mod Organizer. You need to set it up correctly for Mod Organizer to function properly. In this case the FNIS Spells would get merged into the FNIS behaviors and I would have only one entry.Ĭongratulations. If I am conformable with the mods I have in my selections I merge the mods form one author/mod into one entry on the left side. If I am checking for conflicts with other mods I usually have all the optional patches in question separately installed. You however would have to recreate the mod entry again and delete the bad one. No harm will come to the mods installed as they are separate entries. Otherwise you will have wasted your time setting that mod entry up. Don't merge mods that aren't the same unless you really know what you are doing. This will make those files that would conflict overwrite the files from the main module in favor for the optional packs. Much like you would have to do with Nexus Mod Manager or other traditional managers. If you decide to 'Merge' you need to be sure you are installing them in proper order. If you rename a mod for a separate entry you need to be vigilant to be sure all optional patches are below the main module so that the correct files are presented to the game. It is up to you to choose how you want to handle the installed mods. Mod Organizer is powerful and you have lots of options.

You have a choice here you can 'Merge' or you can go back to the top of the install window and change the name to a more appropriate one for the optional component you are installing. This often happens when you try to install optional components of the same mod. Alternatively you can to to towards the bottom and there you will find a place where you can enter a 'Namefilter'.Įssentially the mod has already been installed. You will go to the right side and select the 'Downloads' and scroll down for your newly downloaded mod.

When you download manually you select the button on the top right of Mod Organizer (that looks like a box with a CD in front of it) and a window will open for you to find the file you wish to install. The others (if there) are for patches for specific issues. The most common used is 'FNIS Creature Pack', and 'FNIS Spells'. The optional is up to you to install if you need or desire those files.

There is the Main files which are required for FNIS to work. You can choose to download it manually somewhere you desire or use the 'Download with Manager' provided you have Mod Organizer properly setup for this. When that is done you can get your copy of FNIS. Once that has been done you can then install Mod Organizer. This is a rough draft and will be improved over time.Īfter you have Steam installed you can download Skyrim. We will cover these as well as the optional components of FNIS. With Mod Organizer there are a few steps to follow that is different from Nexus Mod Manager. Here we will discuss the installation and configuration of FNIS.
