Protip: Don't be overly ambitious or you will be crushed...

I just bought both DLCs and installed like 7-8 mods. I started a new game, it gave an error and crashed. I disabled one of the mods and it worked, I could start. I patted myself on the back to congratulate myself on being so smart.

I had political capital disabled(trying to get all the achievements at the moment) so I went on a spree and implemented DOZENS of policies. By the end the screen was just full of stuff. I clicked end turn...

And the game crashed. Not deterred, I loaded an autosave...and it crashed again. All that effort, wasted. Probably because some of those mods do cause trouble with each other, but not immediately.

I need to go bang my head against the wall now...later I'll disable most of the mods and play more sensibly.

That's right. Play through the official DLCs first, then start playing around with mods.

I'm sure 2-3 mods won't be a problem, especially the ones on the game's website and/or specifically mentioned by the mod developers to work...but you know what, you're right. If I spoil myself I'll just burn out. I should move forward slowly.
