As you've figured out renaming your mods folder only omits it, so it won't be loaded into the game. The reason it wasn't working was because something was input incorrectly into that folder.
 
You need to go back and make sure every modification you added was done correctly, I would suggest deleting the mod folder, then copying Update and x64 folders into the mods folder and add the file modifications one by one and try to see if it runs. Rinse and repeat until you're content with the amount of modifications you have.
 
If the comment helps, like it please! 😄

You may want to include your RagePluginHook.log instead of the crash report.
