    DanaePlatinumP​  A lot of flagged conflicts are in fact false warnings, but more importantly, the tool is mostly flagging files that conflict with each other, not mods that are broken or incompatible with the game itself.  So it's not a good way to find the mod that's breaking your game.

    You've said the game works with only NRaas mods installed, but does that include Cupcake or the MC Progression module?  Cupcake will crash the game on launch if the bakery Store set isn't loading, and MC Progression can do so as well if the base MC and StoryProgression modules aren't present.

    Please also look over the documentation for your mods and make sure that you don't have any that require packs you don't own.  If some require packs you DO own (for example the User-directed Scolding mod requires Generations), make sure your packs are in fact loading in-game.

    Other than that, add back a few mods at a time, or use the 50/50 method to test your non-NRaas mods.

Thank you for pointing out that mods intended for non-base game content might cause problems if said content isn't installed. I had store content downloaded but not fully installed yet. Since I have downloaded some fixes for certain store objects, they must have been interfering with the game on launch. I installed the content and retried launching with my mods folder and now I have no issues! Thank you again for your help. :)
