The same thing happened to me, it seems to be an issue caused by the most rtecent patch that fixed a compatibility issue with organized research tab.
This is the error that I get when I click generate world

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone, getting the same thing here.

ok so.. answering one at a time.. and please don't do discussions, I don't get notifications about them. So... problem is that you have alien races low in your load order, I'm using a library that is commonly used, in the mod list of the op by Call of Cthulhu Factions, Straitjacket, Cosmic Horrors and Stack Merger. I'm simply using a newer version of it. Either tell these mod makers to update their version of harmony or load alien races before them. I can't guarantee it will work then tough.

Thanks for letting me know. These are my resaults from testing it. This happens when I load up the game after setting alien framework at the top of the list. Still cannot start new worlds though. :( Anything else you would like for me to try? The mods say they are all up to date with the latest stuff, so i don't think it's that.

you confirmed with all the mod makers in 20 minutes ? impressive.

also, it fixed the error I was talking about. Now another error appeared. You are using an outdated version of Orassans.

Okay, I will ask the dev of Orassans where I can find the updated version since they haven't updated the steam version. Thank you for letting me know, and I just checked by deleting each of the mods and only Alien Races was still giving me errors.

So I just got the latest version from the nexus mods menu that is posted on ludeon from the dev of Orassans. This is the logs i'm getting now with the new version of Orassans: https://gist.github.com/cc93d1700187c76ae51b7e738efe94ea
Here is without Orassans and EPOE or the patch: https://gist.github.com/403ec2a6ee85aa77ee65ce1a8f59e3e2

Still cannot create new saves either way however.

so yeah, still the old version of orassans, and I myself am using the current version on steam so I can confirm it is updated. Another thing is that some of your other mods still use the old version of harmony and crash.

Interesting, So it's a conflict between versions of Harmony. I will see if i can find every mod with harmony and give them a poke to see if they can update. Thanks again for letting me know. I'm using the steam version that you subscribe to for Orassans and OPOE, but the patch needs to be downloaded from github. It even says it on the nexus mod loader page for Orassans that it is the latest version for the alien races mod update.
