Thank you both for your advice, it seems that it helped
Yes, it was the "folder/subfolder data" problem!
When i validated mods, everything said that it installed correctly, however there is a long list of conflicting mods...will that affect the game?
also...in JGSME when my mods are now installed on the righs side window, some of them are black and some are gray...what does that mean?
thank you once more!
