We discussed this before here: http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2567 . Particles limit. Particles trail mod adds a lot of heavy load on the particle limit. (Especially when combined with other particle containing mods like my characters or custom weapons) in fact the description of the mod and the startup dialogue box of AE installers warns about excess particles.
I'm aware of that, but I never encountered such problems when I first got the mod. But the skybox mod is the one that puzzles me the most. It shouldn't be incompatible with any mod as far as I'm aware. Even when I tried using it as the only mod in the game, it still crashed the whole thing.

Blue screen of Blam! Now that's a little extreme. I rebooted Windows and tried again. Same thing happened, minus the BSoD. Kinda odd, as they were never incompatible before with the others. So I took away the trails. Another Blam. Now I'm confused, as the sky mod never gave me problems before.
So I took that away as well. Now it runs smoother than butter.
So I guess Samer's mods and the city level is somehow incompatible with the skybox and particle trail mods, even though they never caused problems before.
