I have a pretty extensive list of mods that I can draw from to form my own mod soup

Mod soup, is actually something to be avoided. If your getting a lot of CTD''s there a few possible reasons why:
1.) Stock bug
or
2.) The mod your using has a bug.
or
3.) Issue caused by using many mods.
or
4.) All of the above.
In everyone's quest to have "your burger made to order your way" (nothing wrong with that, ive supported that to some extent), it seems everyone's forgotten that file conflicts are bad and should be avoided. Files conflicting in JSGME has become the accepted norm, instead of something that should be avoided.
Mod file conflicts and file depenencies are the core reason why any supermod comes into existence. There are so many things to fix, and the files overlap. Many files are dependant on other seemingly unrelated files. If two mods, alter the same file, you have to find out what the changes are, and make them work harmoniously in one file. Now consider that two or three areas of the game, are dependent on that one file!
Anywho, there you have it. The term "mod soup" is actually a derogatory term that was coined by the GWX team leader some years ago. Unfortunately, until some enterprising and industrious Modder or modder's, publish a complete supermod, Mod soup is all SH5 is ever going to be.
