Correction : I'm testing with vanilla game, but modded with WAC 4.1 terrain and WAC 4.1 locations.

I think it's a very good idea, and it does not cause any problem.

The CTD is probably due to the Locations.cfg file in Terrain folder. You have to install manually the new locations in your own Locations.cfg file (ignore the Brest_U_Bunker new entry) from line ; LIGHTHOUSES, and correct the numbers in each [Location ---] .

The date-triggered CTD you are reporting might be caused by some lighthouse equipments -which, on turn, have other configurable equipments linked to them- being removed from the model starting from June 25, 1940.

If that was true, the CTD migh not be megamod-related, and it might happen when the game tries placing an equipment on top of another equipment which is no longer in place. If that was the case, a possible fix could be "switching off" "child equipments" as well as their "parent equipments".
I've tried to launch the mission in 1945, and no CTD occured.
