First off, I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question to anyone. And yes, I tried searching for the answer. That being said, thanks for any of your help and your time.
All right, First things first: When you use "Save mods and run fable" it literally saves the mods? So, I don't have to keep opening up Fable explorer and re-running them.
Let's say due to a part of stupidity on my part, lack of sleep and just general non thinking I re-open and save/run the same mods that were 'saved' from before about two or three times. Could this cause instability in the game? I noticed my fable crashed twice, unknown causes, perhaps some program (such as my IM being left logged on)screwed it up resulting in a crash or a random act of god.
Upon a good night of sleep I'm starting to think maybe redundant save/run did it. So, I guess I'm trying to see if my understanding is correct and I'm wondering what happens if you save/run the same mods too many times and its effects.
Also a shout out thanks to all you modders out there. Thanks for all your hard work!

Right. FE opens the game archives, applies the mods (makes a series of changes as determined by the mod), then recompiles the edited archives, making the mods more or less a permanent change.| SilverHineko wrote on Mon, 17 November 2008 15:16 |

It depends on the mod. The bin editing wouldn't at all pose a problem. The the textures and models could cause a problem, through corrupt entries. Still, this is fixable. Rename the new models, textures and text entries, apply changes each time you change the name, then use the mods again. If the mods were only definition edits, nothing to worry about, and the crashes are unrelated to that particular action, but it is still possible that you used a bad mod or that you used conflicting mods that would cause a crash. A list of the mods you used will help us quickly determine where to look for problems.| SilverHineko wrote on Mon, 17 November 2008 15:16 |

I got them all from the definition edits section.

Yea, those will be fine. Those just overwrite the same entries so it's like copy and pasting the same thing over the same thing over the same thing (getting the repetitive effect in there I hope  ).| SilverHineko wrote on Mon, 17 November 2008 16:20 |
The sharigan eye mod.
|
That one could potentially be a problem because of the texture, but in this case I think not, you'd notice right away and the crashes wouldn't be random.| SilverHineko wrote on Mon, 17 November 2008 16:20 |
Is it just me or are you famous around here JohnDoe? You're like on all the threads on here and stuff....Either way, to me you are. =P

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I'd say I'm around top 25, maybe top 10. This includes those who are now inactive. Of the active members, definitely top 10.

Err, sorry I misspelled your screen name.
>some weird string of code in your machine that is self aware and decides that it doesn't like Fable
But, I'm not on Vista. 
Anyways, that's about it. This thread can be locked or something. Thanks you so much for the help. Questions solved. Another n00b saved by the powers of JohnDoe.
