Need help with the ultimate apocalypse mod and unification mod.

So i only play single player right now because i dont feel comfortable with doing multiplayer at all.

At the beginning with nothing instobut just the base game. It would never crash. But now ive been having a crazy amount of crashes with the game after installing the apoc mod and uni mod. (Of witch it doesnt even seem like the uni mod works for some reason) A couple of examples of it crashing are:

If im in a campaign game and there are barely any units out. The game will just frezze and send me to desktop with the “send crash report” prompt.
Another one would be if i win even a single match against the Ai in campaign. Once in the loading screen to look at the planet map. Itll frezze and send me to desktop.
If i attempt to make certain units in the game itll crash to desktop.
If i create a defensive line while playing as the IG. Itll just send me straight to desktop.

At this point i cant play a single match of anything because of crashes.

Now as of right now im doing a clean install of the base game, ult apoc mod, and the uni mod.
When i do want to play the game i do go though the DOW mod manager.
The LAA settings are green and even though i have everything downloaded for the chaos deamons mod and the tyranids mods installed and where they are supposed to be. The mod manager says its not.

At the very beginning when i bought the game i got it on sale a little while ago with the pack that had all four of the dow 1 games. At that time i did have the other three installed. And the game seemed to work just fine with a few crashes here and there, but even with those i was able to progress alot.

I do understand that the game came out a long time ago and really wasnt made for the stuff we have today. So i shouldn’t expect for it to work all the time. But when its making it so i cant play whats so ever. Well something is definitely wrong.

If anyone could help id really appreciate it. Ive tried looking online for help and even the discord but im not seeing anything that helps.

Sounds like you installed the mods incorrectly, the mod files are corrupted, or you're trying to run both mods at the same time (which is impossible).

You can't play with these two mods together.

After a clean install it seemed that i was missing a file for the uni mod as for the apoc mod turns out in the base game there was just a file that needed tweaking because of the extra zoom out feature that was added. I didn't say i was playing them together.

You can have them both installed, as long as you are selecting which on to launch in the mod manager it's no problem. Unless the most recent UA version changed things, they use the same version of the Tyranids mod now and no longer have a problem being installed at the same time.

But yeah, can't run them at the same time.

The mod manager is telling you that Chaos Demons and Tyranids mods are not installed (or it can't find them)?

This is likely the problem, if I am understanding you correctly. It may also mean that something went wrong with the whole installation somewhere.

So when i go into the Dow SS mod manager. When i click of the chaos deamons mod and the tyranids mod it shows that for both that the objective points mods as well as free ui mods are not there. Even though i have them downloaded and in the correct files.

But as of right now im just enjoying the game with the ult apoc mod with single player. ive only gotten half way though with the IG but after that i think im going to play though all the races with the exception of the eldar and dark eldar.
