    Also fix your insert image from imgur so that it does not RED out and refuse to post into report or provide reason why it has errored out when adding link. So for now since I can not use the "Insert image from URL" button to post a link:

    Currently the line is commented out so that it will stop erroring out and preventing the game from loading up at the start.

    Hi, I'm able to load a modlet using without issue using the below code in the modinfo.xml.  Try this format. If that doesn't resolve it, I noticed you have multiple mods installed so I'd try eliminating each one as a potential cause. However that line is non-functional in A21 and can be safely commented out without issue as a worst case.

    NM I just found my mistake and feel like an idiot for it. In the code I sent it has the:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <xml>
            <ModInfo>

    line of code that should have been excluded from the file.

    1 thing of note that needs to be addressed. Not all versions should be required to be in the 0.0 style format to prevent the game from throwing a warning message. 
    This:

    <Version value="1" />

    Should work exactly the same as this:

    <Version value="1.0" />
