Awesome, TY!. Sorry for it being as convoluted, in my testing, I couldnt exactly pinpoint the moment the individual pieces stopped working with your mods, it just seemed to be that adding them was not happening.
I wonder if i should make a note to pass along this to the respective authors of the patches in a separate thread since it seems like it could be fixed in the future with foresight fix? If not, either way im happy because now it works.
Thanks again!
