Just trying to give you as much information as possible to reduce the amount of questions you have to ask me. The only thing I can think of is I have my skyrim folder in my Programs/Steam folder (the default location) and I did set my Skyrim launcher to launch as Admin but maybe I don't have write permissions for all the files and folders in that folder? I don't know. right? I also use LOOT and TES5Edit to check everything is right and nothing comes up there.
It doesn't seem that hard to me, just install animation mods, click the big orange button, check for warnings, done. I'm not sure if I am using FNIS right or not. On XP32 animations page it says that either I didn't install or use FNIS correctly OR the animations don't exist. many times, and I did check the right things according to the install instructions on XP32 animations page. I looked up this problem and the common thing for people to mess up is not using the FNIS generate thing and I have done that. As for the others nothing of note other than they are just vanilla animations. The weirdest thing is when I draw my dual swords they start to move to the modded stance (right hand sword held down) but then pop back to the vanilla stance (both pointed up). I also had installed "sexy idle animation" which, just like XP32 animations, worked but now doesn't. So I reinstalled XP32 animations but they still don't work.
I had it working at one point but a I think a new mod install messed it up. If I am correct it is supposed to change the sprint animation for females, spells, bow walking and running, how the character holds the dual wield weapons, and a few others. Most, if not all, XP32 animations don't even work. When I run or sprint the butt and chest sink in then when I stop the bounce back out which makes them jiggle WAY to much. until I run, walking looks great, standing and everything but running. I have install CBBE slim, XP32 skeleton, FNIS (behavior, spells, creature, sexy move), and XP32 new animation pack. I really have tried to find the answer but I just don't know what to look for. I'm sure it's easy for someone who is more experienced so please forgive me if this seems to easy. But this animation thing is killing me and I can't find the answer. But anyways, Most things work and I still have a functioning file and most problems I can google and figure out myself. I'm actually surprised I didn't destroy the game (I was like a kid in a candy shop). Anyways, I finally got a gaming computer and I bought Skyrim and of course started modding.
Well relatively, made an account a long time ago back when Oblivion was still newish and never actually got a pc version of Oblivion so never came here again.
