Well after a reinstall of Homecoming it's working now, so I'll call that a win, thanks for the help! I guess my install was just angry at me and needed a spanking.
I've recently downloaded the installer, got the game path set and everything shows fine but no mods load. While troubleshooting I saw the post earlier about the corrupted mod, when I download that the game does not crash. I've done a clean install of the launcher and the game but it just refuses to work.
