They don't, unless you download two mods that do the same thing and you expect them NOT to collide. Only exception are the ones made by the same modder who'll tell you to load which one after the other, Launchers like Vortex already do this process automatically.

I've done all endings with UFO4P enabled (with different characters) from start to finish and never had one, in fact my last recent character I was done with was BOS and never saw a single issue.

UFO4P
Load accelerator
No health crippled popups
Real Troughs

Eli armour compendium
F4 NV service rifle (hate the look of the assault rifle)
7.62 and 45-70 ammo

i'd pick the service rifle too but it tends to crash my game along with scrap everything/all, armorkey, and the m1 garand mods

Applying logic on these three facts of yours, you can only claim that at least UFO4P causes crashes.
You can not claim that all mods cause crashes.

Iron Knight does not know how logic and semantics work - FACT

I'd be impressed if you could get a simple texture or model replacer to cause a CTD.

"Just" UFO4P. Honestly, that mod is huge and has it's fingers in everything. There's nothing "just" about that mod.

(and yeah, I don't consider the "unofficial patch" mods to be Must Have for any Beth game. I never bothered to use them for any game until my latest playthrough of FO4, and then only because another mod listed it as a pre-req. That said, it didn't cause any crashes for me. I actually didn't have any crashes in my latest playthrough, 200 hours with ~100-120 mods.)

so really what your saying is

"Iron Knights" is incapable of installing 1 mod - FACT

i've got 72 mods in FO4 currently, and you know, i haven't had a single actual CTD.. not one.
I've had a few glitches, but nothing i could reliably pinpoint to a mod being the cause (it could be what i did in the game, a failed script, a problem with the base game etc..) it was nothing i could 100% say "yup, mod issue".

your also lying through your teeth, as you constantly spout that stuff about that you run the game at 144fps with no ini changes (which is flat out false, you have to manually do this, and it also counts as a modification btw)
could it be that your game is so screwed up from it running at 144fps that you adding the patch just showed you how broken it -actually- was..

[Langkard]

I guess I'm a minimalist.

Unofficial Fallout 4 patch
F4SE (even though none of the mods I use need it)
AmmoCrafting
Better Junk Fences
Easy Lockpicking and Hacking (those minigames get boring. Still need relevant perk levels)
FO4 Load Accelerator
Keep Radiants in the Commonwealth
SKKScrapper (because it makes workbench inventory easier)
Screen Flicker Killer (the flicker on the Pip Boy and terminals gets annoying after a while)

[Zes]

no mods but a few fix,
- vats freeze fix for survival
- doctor fix (for healing all rads)

bots are scripts though
