I'm not sure what I did differently other than using 7zip versus winRAR but after three reinstall attempts and deleting all game files twice it FINALLY is working correctly. Thanks for the help guys.
I think I know what the real problem is. I can not get the game or my pc to allow changes to the user setting. Forgetting the mods for a second, if I go into the vanilla trilogy game and adjust graphical effects from highest (which is set to default for me) to low or any other setting and hit "apply" and close the game, restart it...that change was not saved at all. It goes right back to the default. So it has to be something with the user. I have 64 bit windows 7 and I lowered the UA
So any idea on what files I need to make sure are not read only to make sure the mods work with the game? From what I've read if you have a blue rectangle in the read only checkbox under properties it doesn't mean it is read only it only means that windows ignores if it is or is not.

I have no idea if this is related to your problem or not, but it sounds like the game for

And yes, I can change the settings from "highest detail" to "low" and any point inbetween and it still gives the mini dump. I just played a bit on a vanilla huge map and everything was fine on highest detail. I enable both mods and within two minutes both mini dump out on low settings. It is simply frustrating.
Let me start by the following: thank you in advance for any help. I also have to point out that I know official support from stardock does not cover mods. The game seems to run fine with any graphical settings range from low to highest in the vanilla trilogy mode. The problems I am having are making two mods work with the game. I had zero problems with them on my old nvida 8800 gtx duo core 2.13 ghz 32 vista system. But now on my new system which does have current drivers so no need t
