Previously-Uncontested Mods Folder Crashing the Game

[Brad Philips Townley 194]

My Mods folder is suddenly crashing my game and I don't know why. I just got this PC about a month ago, installed some mods that night, and have not touched my Mods folder since. It has been working fine until today, when it suddenly decided to crash the game. I am going through the folder trying to determine the mod causing the problem, but do not understand why the crashes would be coming on suddenly. Why wouldn't the game crash a month ago when I installed everything?

Anyone?

Perhaps the game had an update while you haven't played and now it's corrupted. Try renaming the folder to _mods and see If your game works then. If so I suggest creating a new mods folder.

Something funny happened when I did that. I changed it to _mods and the game loaded; I changed it back to "mods" to confirm and the game crashed, changed it back to _mods again and it continued to crash. I am rebuilding the mods folder as we speak.
