I've only fiddled with a few mods, yamato, Titan and the montana, thus the yamato and titan cause CTD's at certain points like clock work. please does anyone know why this happens? any fixes.

I'm not use JSGME to install the mods, i wonder if this is the issue?

All those mods overwrite game files, that is why you need to use JSGME to install them and uninstall them. You install one and it changes game files then when you install a different MOD the necessary game files are changed and the game crashes. Some mods just will not work with each other.
With JSGME you can uninstall the mods and the game goes back to normal.
