My game also crashes when first loading any (Western) hive village area when this mod is enabled - "[fatal]: Mod Error: Race Mechanical Hive Prince from mod Animation - Collection Pack is missing body parts"

I don't believe I use any additional race mods so that might be where my issue stems from, though maybe my load order is to blame (this mod is nearly last in the list, followed by 'SCAR's Pathfinding Fix' and 'Kenshi CTD fix patch').

Either way, disabling it allows me to travel to or through Vain and hang out with those traders
(Hopefully this will help someone searching online since I couldn't really find anything lol)

Seems to cause a CTD for me, even when NPC - Collection Pack etc is all loaded. Unsure how to reproduce, I was present in Fog Islands at the time with a large squad. Loaded low in my mod list, large list at that but with no UWE / Genesis present.
