Thing is, I had a perfectly working FCOM++ install last time around - zero crashes, beautiful, excellent balance and so on. But for some reason (I can't quite remember what...) I decided to really change things up this time, adding all kinds of stuff, removing a few previous faves, seeing what happens.* I guess, there are some awesome-looking (beta or otherwise) mods coming out just now, and a few older ones I've had sitting around for a while.
* Well, what happens is, it plays for a while (a few minutes), then... CtD. I thought it might've been at the 5 minute mark (i.e., when I had Streamline set to streamsave) but no. I have disabled a few mods here and there, tried to spot obvious conflicts. The (even more) annoying aspect is that I probably should know, or be able to see it, whatever it is. Maybe I do, but can't recall at the moment.
Anyway, here's the current mod list, which is a little over halfway done, and it's prior to some serious merging, of course (except I've already done the Message Remover Pack, or MRP) :

Please, someone, put me out of my misery. As I said, I'd much rather just figure things out as I go, but... I'm stuck. Or it feels that way. So, sorry for what might well be a really dumb question/request. One of those days, perhaps.
Oh, and as for things that won't show up in that list, I'm [not quite up and] running with OBSE 18, Pluggy 1.32, Wrye Bash 2.85, QTP3, Detailed Terrain, BTQ, QCN, Symphony of Violence, and a bunch of other graphics and sound stuff. But nothing too unusual, I'd say.
edit: ** Actually, no - I've updated a number of mods (e.g., All Natural.)
