For what it's worth, dropping that mod altogether seemed to fix that particular issue, but now I'm having another. I can start a new game just fine...but I can't load a saved game. I got through the opening dream sequence, got the Lilac & Gooseberries quest, saved, and quit to desktop. I immediately started the game again and tried to load the game I'd just saved, and I was given a black screen. No loading icon or anything, no sound, nada. Had to alt-tab and close the game that way. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
