If the UnitType in the Roster CFG file is different than the UnitType in the Sea Folder it will crash for sure. This is the first thing I check for in a Museum crash. Sometimes different authors of mods or models have changed the UnitTypes because it affects how it shows up in a campaign. Also, if I want to just look at a specific ship I used the Mission Editor to make a small custom Single Mission and just change the ClassName and UnitType as needed. Much faster than the Museum.
Oh, and here's something screwy- just recently I made a small test mod consisting of a few ships to add to the game and it tested just fine, but when I put them in the actual mod folders it wouldn't run a campaign. So now I made another folder called Sea Addendum which I apparently must use in order to bring these ships into the game. Two mods better than one? Go figure.
