Sins crashes when...

from Sins Forums

...I enable a large mod with a "enabled checksum" number that is in the 100's of thousands (E,G: super caps, phase scouts, sins flagship etc.) Should I compress the mod files or not extract them in the first place?

What mod are you attempting to use?

Either of the listed ones (but not all at once) I can have advent synergy and big ship supply mods active at the same time with no problems, but when I try using any of the listed mods the game crashes right after I press apply changes

1st make sure that the m0d is for the expansion you are using. EG For Dip or Ent  or Vanilla

2nd make sure the m0d is up-to-date.
Phase scouts is very old and will not work with any updated expansion.

3rd stacking m0ds is for specific m0ds only. Made to stack. Most m0ds files will bugger the other m0ds files

The version should be listed with the download link at the very least.

Old, Zombie has updated this to version 0.05 a year ago.  Works for all three versions I assume since he doesn't specify which isn't like him if it was version specific.

I can't find this one so you'll have to point it out.  Actually, don't bother.

I believe this is a vanilla only mod since most references for it are pre entrenchment.

The mod seems to work with the beta 2 verison (From back in 2008)  So Vanilla sins second beta...  Waaaaaaay out of date.  Use the dev.exe instead of this.

 

So you're using mods that are incompatible with the version of the game you are running most likely since the most recent one you're listing here is a year old with it's most recent update.

 

What you need to do is know what version of Sins you are playing and look for mods that are for that version rather then guessing and crashing all of the time.

Where should you look?  http://ricksgalaxy.homestead.com/links.html of course.

Well simple fact is no one asked for it to be updated, which made me assume no one still played it. Main problem is entity.manifest and English.str. Diplomacy 1.32 mini-dumps if these are not current.

Here's a link with an updated manifest and string file.
