@MrMicMe Thanks for the info. Resource.cfg needs to be directly in Mods, not inside Overrides. Make sure you delete scriptCache.package (again) as well.

@MrMicMe Please post a screenshot of the folder that contains the mods, as in, I'd like to see the files themselves. Additionally, right-click one of the mods and select Get Info, then list the file location, listed as Where.

Please also let me know whether iCloud Drive is enabled on this computer, and if so, whether Desktop & Documents is selected. You can find the settings under System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud [on the left] > iCloud Drive Options.

For the red screen, try enabling object hiding, which is a check box included with the other graphics options. Change the setting at the Main Menu and quit to desktop before loading a save.
