I have the steam version (1.0.9 English Steam)
GTX 1070 ti, Windows 10, 5i 9600k @ 3.7k, 16 GB RAM
7th Heaven 1.5.6.0
I successfully ran the converter with a blank ISO. I've checked that my paths in 7th Heaven are correct countless times.
The second I try to activate a mod after a fresh "install" of 7th Heaven (in this case I'm only testing the mod Menu - Avatars and Backdrops) I get the following error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

7th Heaven then crashes. I can re-open 7th Heaven and activate the mod without issues. Once I try to launch the game I get an error without starting the game. The words "direct" and "music" are added under "Extra Folders" in my general settings every time I fail to launch FF7 from 7th Heaven. I can go manually launch the ff7.exe but it looks like movies don't render. I see a black screen until I hit X (on controller) to get to the main menu. Here I see that my main menu mod didn't work, and after I start a new game I'm stuck at a black screen once again. I assume this is the intro cutscene trying to play.
I can play the base steam game just fine, but without mods.

EDIT: I changed literally nothing and I'm now able to play. I have to launch the FF7Config exe, close it, then open 7th Heaven and launch the game. I'm not sure why this is necessary. If I then close the game I can't relaunch via 7th Heaven. I have to close 7th Heaven and go through the FF7Config exe again etc etc.
