How to install properly FISS for Skyrim 1.5.97 and AE 1.6.640 and 1.6.1130 and Optional Experimental Eslifying:
Important: Is still need it the original FISS mod, since this update only carry the modification to the SKSE plugin, not the script nor the plugin itself.
Vortex Users: I do not use it, so, if for any reason you have problems using FISS, apply this update manually opening the folder where is FISS installed and merge when prompted. MO2 users: Just merge with the original when installing, don't create a new mod below. NMM users: no using it so anyone else should explain how to proceed, but basically you need to do the same as with MO2, do not create a new mod below, merge with the original FISS folder's mod with this update.
OPTIONAL EXPERIMENTAL ESM Eslified: if you are at the limit of LO slots for ESM and ESP (254), and need to spare your precious slots, you can try to Eslify it, as I did, BUT, before you proceed, understand that there is a tool under development in the link below, so is your responsibility to use it properly, I´m using it at Skyrim 1.5.97 version, so AE edition is unknown to me if will work, worst case scenario, if not, you will have to delete the FISS mod and reinstall the original and this update and use as a "pure" ESM. The tool in question is:
Instructions to Eslify FISS.esp: You will need xEdit (aka SSEEdit). I´m using the version 4.0.4, so if you have a newer version, please update us if your attempt was successful or not and I will edit this comment accordingly. Download manually the Main File (ESPFE Follower) from the link above, decompress the file and put it in the SSEEdit folder, overwrite if asked, chances are 99,99% you don´t have it installed, so probably you will not get asked when transferring the Edit Script folder.
Open in MO2 (or Vortex, If is the case) SSEEdit and load only FISS.esp, once the load is finished, right click on FISS.esp and click on "Apply Script...". In the Selection Box Script, chose "__ESPFEFollower" and click OK. The process is fast, so read the message and when it says Done: Applying Script "__ESPFEFollower", proceed to again right click on FISS.esp and now go to the bottom of the options and click OTHER-->Create SEQ File. In the message tab it will tell you that 1 SEQ file was created.
Now close and when asked, save the modifications to FISS.esp. Finally, for those using MO2, you will have a folder in Overwrite (Seq), you need to place it inside the FISS folder in the left windows. For those using Vortex, someone please comment us how to put the Seq folder inside the FISS mod.
Now FISS is not using one of your esp/esm slots.
I tested already a few times, with an FISS.esp already Eslified ESM, and it did saved my setting on more than 30 mods I tried, for testing purposes, no ctds, no strange fonts. All working properly. Be aware that the Settings Loader for the respective mod you are trying to use it has to be compatible with the actual version of the mod itself. There is not guarantee that an older Settings will work on newer mod's versions but you can try anyway.
Remember: doesn't matter if you are using FISS.esp as a ESM or as a ESM Eslified (ESM-ESL): place it always at the top of your LO, otherwise things will not work.
Comeback to give us feedback.
Thanks to LordConti2, TERENCEYAO, epinter and grvulture for create and continue to develop in some cases and provide a centralized link on the other hand to this useful mod.
Did you update adress library? It is far too often overlooked, but for 1.6.1170 you need al 10 or 11. And for anyone wondering, yup it works on gog skyrim 1.6.1179.
@gromowladny6 .... thanks for your uninformative statement. Just because it is in the title does not mean it will work. This was likely because the author of the patch presumed it would.
However, with 1170 it does not - with upgrade or clean install, FISS.DLL causes a fatal error at launch.
Guys, I'm running 1.6.1170.0.8, I have it installed, I tested it in-game and it works! What is there more to say? There are prerequisites which you have to get right. If you do, it will work for you too.
I'm locking this post because I had enough with people claiming it doesn't, while it DOES work!
THE PATCH WORKS, IT'S BEEN TESTED REPEATEDLY. MAKE SURE YOUR SKYRIM SETUP IS RIGHT AND YOU WILL HAVE IT WORKING TOO!!
I installed this, after using the old version for a little bit (i still have the old version installed but it is overwritten) my game crashes as soon as the bathesda logo pops ups. i tried uninstalling this update and it keeps crashing. the game didnt crash at all before the instillation even tho it was outdated. halp pls
It does load, make sure to use address library 11, it's currently the only version of address library working on 1.6.1179, and the mods depending on it won't work if you have an older version.
Has anyone that is BOTH using this epinter/grvulture FISS version and ALSO using AE (.640 or later) tried ESLing the original TERENCEYAO version yet?
TakodaWahya wrote up good instructions for ESLing stuff, but I have not seen so far anyone say they successfully ESLed the mod for AE. I may have missed it.
I am on v.640 of the game and am using the TERENCEYAO version, then overwriting it (as a separate mod loaded after) with jyurii's FISSES ESLified Patch. I see many people having issues with jyurii's version so I am skeptical, but it does seem to be working. Allegedly there was some changes to the scripts in that version to allow it to be ESLed.
I am just trying to figure out the best way/combo of mods to end up with an ESL-ed FISSES for v.640 and v.1170.
I tried uninstalling FISSES alltogether and turns out that your mod may not the problem at all. The game still crashes at the opening sequence. All I realized is that it happens when I start with the SKSE launcher and all the plugins on vortex set automatically to disabled. I need to look into it and I can already tell it's gonna kill me :( Thanks for trying to help me anyway.
Still, I realized that I may not need FISSES at all because whatever Mod I had to install this for I am no longer using it I think :/
have you checked the stickied posts on the SKSE nexus page? some fixes and explanations are given there. might help! I'm having the same issue and going down that list now
I`m having same issue as Garmagic. Something going on. Can't even get to load screen. Last time it was TrueHud but not the case now. No SKSE errors but SKSE just stops logging after translation steps.
For me it doesn't work on game version 1.6.1170.0.8. I use Mod Organizer and did everything according to the instructions, did not create a new mod, but merged it with the original mod 1.6.640. But upon startup, the game warns that the .dll failed to launch. Because of this, I cannot use my personal customized UI presets for the Less Intrusive HUD II.
Upd.: All right. Everything worked after installation FISSES NG.
Manually install this mod. Right click on FISSES in Vortex and open its file location. Drag the contents of this mod into the FISSES file and overwrite.

Despite the author's claims, the warning still pops up, and it does not function
