Confirmed this. Deactivated everything except core and prepare carefully equipment screen loads. Now the problem is finding the mod causing the issue, over 100 mods to go through

I've managed to reproduce the same bug without Android Tiers++ installed, now I'm just confused.

Here's what hugslib is logging:

Was able to re-activate Android tiers with out issue. Haven't reactivated the other mods that adds items back in yet to see if they cause an issue. Messed around with it for over 4 hours, got it to work stopped so i could play.

Have these mods off
Rimsenal Enhanced vanilla pack
Rimsenal Security pack
RTs Weapon pack reloaded

This works for me too, even with a ridiculous menagerie of other mods active. Thanks a lot!

I get this message about Prepare Carefully failing to initialize.
I'm working on finding the mod causing the problem, however i also wanted to ask if someone reported this befor? (i'm not that usefull speed reading when under pressure).

after looking around and deactivating and reactiving mods i figured out the mod called zombiefied was somehow someway interrupting with prepare carefully startup.

Hey I'm having this problem where i get no compat issues or anything, and even tried running the game with this mod only and what i get is an insane lag when i enter the prepare carefully phase (no custom scenarios or anything, just crashlanded survivors) untill the game just freezes indefinitely unless i keep clicking for the to crash (that's the only way to exit that i've found so far)

I'm having an issue that some others in the comment section have reported - when changing the head of a human pawn in the prepare carefully menu, their body disappears...

Just me? don't know or really care but when i load a group all their ages are set the same press the I and go into, BIO then hover the mouse over the Age, when i get a newly added person its Random but if i was to save them then load it would be like the 1st of aprimay and so will the loaded crew but its quite funny watching 30 people enjoy their own Birth day on the same day

Hey, I'm sorry but I don't know if this is an EdB problem, but I assume so. During the character customization screen, I can no longer see their hats. During the actual gameplay it's fine so it's no deal breaker or anything, but it is a bit annoying. I'm sorry if this isn't an EdB problem

I think the problem is when using a customized scenario it wont load the prepar carefully window. When I used the Crashlanded scenario it worked. It is probably because there is items given in the scenario that are not in the 1.0 version yet.

Well damn I thought I have gotten crazy!
You are right O.o

Working Load Order Update

I've found that the Prepare Carefully Button DOES show up if I am careful with the load order.

Core
... (anything pre-libs here, in my current test setup this is Startup Impact and SRTS Expanded)
HugsLib
JecsTools
Humanoid Alien Races 2.0
++
(All Alien Races here)
++
EdB Prepare Carefully

Something in the rest of the list, probably one of the menu mods the streamer I watch play this has added, seems to mess up the button.


EDIT:

I've also completed a two hour-long "manual bisection" process (moving the load point of EdB Prepare Carefully to the middle of the range that works/doesn't work to shrink the area of the problem domain to one mod).

Among the mods in the list I was working with, THIS is the mod that was guilty of breaking EdB Prepare Carefully (and after removing it Prepare Carefully could be loaded last).
