My friend and I played with a balance mod enabled, and it worked fine. However, when we lost sync and had to load the last save, it caused him to see my race picture as black or blank. Then when we loaded, he saw the loading screen of the Wild Elven Hotties faction instead of his own (I can't remember the names) and after this, he crashed. It does that every time, even on a new game with the mod, once we try to load it. Is this a known issue, does anyone have ideas? Thanks!

Nevermind, was a mod issue. Fixed it, thanks.
