That typically happens when there's an animation mod on or something. I think the key offender was the 'animated idles' mod or similar. Best approach is to only have NT running until you reach the first save point, and then turn on your other mods again. If no other mods are on, then make sure that you don't have any leftovers lying around like 60fps for instance as some seem to persist even after uninstalling.

So I went through 1 by 1 until I found the MOD I could remove that would let me proceed.  That ended up being........  Ninostyle Battle Mods.  Once I suspected that was the culprit, I put only that mod and NT on, fired the game up, got soft locked.  I put all my MODs back on except for Nino's, the game progressed as normally.  Just as a final control on the experiment, I added Nino's back in, knowing that my current set up of mods worked fine, and BOOM, soft lock.

So the issue is 100% for sure Nino's mod, which I just need to deactivate while I get through this part and then add it back on.

Thanks for your help, Chief!

I should have thought of disabling mods one by one!  I'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks for getting back to to me so quick!

Hey Chief,

I've really been enjoying the mod, but I've run into an issue that I hope you can help with?

I'm getting soft locked when trying to enter the Dark Cave.  I follow the prompts, hit "Let's Go" , and Cloud steps into the cave.  The screen goes black and Cloud and Barrett wake up in Midgar.  There's a quick dialogue with Barrett saying something to the effect of "The others aren't here either." and that's it.  The game just sits there.  I can't move, open a menu, or anything else.  Barrett just stands there blinking his big dumb eyes for all of eternity.

I did a search, the only thing I found was the above mentioned PHS glitch that someone else had an issue with.

Things I've tried: 

I had Barrett in the party initially, I removed him and got the same result.
I completely remade the party.
I made Cid and Tifa the heads of the party.
Tried with Cid & Aerith both flagged for dead and alive.
I tried equiping and un-equiping various items/weapons/materia.
I went and did other events, which all triggered properly, then went back and got the same result.

I'm running version 1.5: released 8/31/2019.

This is the first issue I've had with the mod and not sure what else to try.

(Please don't say I have to start over  )

Edit:  Oh yeah, I'm playing on arrange mode and I've done obvious things like rebooting/reinstalling and such.
