Got some crashes with 7th Heaven. Maybe it's just a dumb user error or could be some kinks that needs touched up on in this great program. So I'm posting these crash logs along with the steps I took to produce these. Hopefully they're useful to whomever to fix these or for someone to tell me how much of an idiot I am
Info that may be useful:

Everything was working fine. So I went ahead and downloaded (5) .iro mods (not listed under the "Catalog" tab) and stuck them inside the "...\mods\7thHeaven" folder. Unknowingly, 7th Heaven was still loaded as I stuck them inside that folder and ran 7th Heaven again. This is when I got the crash and noticed I already had 7th Heaven open. I closed out of both and tried opening 7th Heaven again to see this crash again. Can't open 7th Heaven without getting this same crash. Removing those .iro's I stuck in that folder didn't stop the crashes. I also tried removing ALL the .iro files in that folder and still got the crash. It may be worth mentioning that I had the Music and Sound mod downloading but cancelled it. It was still in the "temp" folder before all this happened.
I had trouble getting one of those .iro files imported into 7H by itself. I got it fixed myself, but could maybe another reason for this issue? The mod in question is Bloodshot's Tifa Model.
Anyway, I found a way to fix 7H from continuously crashing on me by deleting the 7thWorkshop folder in %appdata% along with the other 7th Heaven folders in the game directory and basically started over from scratch with 7H.
Found one other issue. After starting back over and downloading the mods I desired under the Catalog tab, I noticed something strange after they finished downloading. I had two of the same mods listed under the Library tab. There were three separate mods like this. One was named correctly, the other was named by its .iro file name (eg: One was: Battle Models - Enemies. The other was: cd1050af-170a-4391-9633-b0754cb043d3_Battle_Models___Enemies_1.0). Maybe from downloading too many at the same time? I had about 6-7 downloading at the same time, maybe a few of them finished around the same time and caused this issue. I don't know, just speculating. I uninstalled the ones that had them long list of numbers/letters which left the correctly named ones. Tried running the game and got crash from 7th Heaven...as I expected. I had to uninstall both for 7th Heaven to work (I didn't try to deactivate it and play) since that mod was actually fully uninstalled and the correctly named one was still activated, hence causing the crash...I would think anyway.
