Broken/Updated Mods & CC: University edition

So I'm having a pretty tough time here trying to get this game to work. I load up the game on origin, everything's fine, the title screen shows up and then the screen with the tips... then it turns black and I can only see the gallery icon in the upper right hand corner. Any ideas what mod(s) could be doing this in particular? I scanned my mods folder through the Mod Conflict Detector and there's only duplicates now which I don't think would cause the game to act up like this.
