I reinstalled a fresh Bare Geomod as added as much as I needed to run the mod while refraining from major changes to the text folder.
Now the mod CTDs with the "sorry pal" message without any given error in the log.
This is starting to sound like the problem is my PC acting funny. I could swear that I'm doing everything right, and if the problems I am reporting are the first time you hear about them then either I am too incompetent to try modding or that it's the machine I'm using. The mod used to run fine until I tried to add a religion; that is what started the whole "agent_movie" junk and I cannot see what that has to do with the religions file in the data and text folders. It's like problems pop up randomly out of nowhere.
