What Causes the “FNIS Error 9” on Skyrim?

After receiving numerous reports from multiple users, we decided to investigate the issue and devised a set of solutions to fix it completely. Also, we looked into the reasons due to which it was being triggered and listed them as follows. Now that you have a basic understanding of the nature of the problem, we will move on towards the solutions. Make sure to implement these in the specific order in which they are presented to avoid conflict.

Solution 1: Clearing Overwrite Files

Most Users that are modding their game use either Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer to make the implementation of the mods easier and their management more convenient. Mod Organizer has an overwrite folder that contains the excess files and Nexus Mod Manager also places these files inside the directory. Therefore, if you are using Mod Organizer, clear the Overwrite folder and check to see if the issue persists. Note: Make sure that you are using the FNIS XXL version and not the other one before proceeding with the other steps.

Solution 2: Reinstallation of Mods/Game

With most users, reinstallation of the Game after removing all the mods installed seems to fix the issue. When you install mods and add animations they seem to pile on each other and start accumulating. Some animations/mods might not be compatible with each other and they might cause issues with the application. Therefore, the best way to proceed after getting this error is to conduct a complete reinstall of the game and the mods. After reinstalling, only install the most important mods and animations. Search the mods and test their compatibility before adding them.
