When I had this problem, it was because NMM stopped loading my mod plug-ins at launch. I only had to open NMM, go to the plug-in tab and check all the boxes again. The crash was because my save game required mods, but they were not present at run time. Turn them on and everything works again. HTH.

Has anyone ever attempted a full re-skin / conversion for an update or unit of new content?

Well, here is a kind of a reply from an industry guy.
The company I work for now, Tripwire, started as a group of modders. They won some cash in an Unreal contest and started their own indie company. The founders were all from different cities and had only worked on the internet. They finally met, got an office, their mod content became a game (Red Orchestra) and the are still going 10 years later. Every game they put out has a public SDK so anyone can develop content, mutators or mods. The owners are still modders at heart.
A couple of years ago a group of modders approached them about a full conversion of their European theater war game into a Pacific theater game. They said, "go ahead, knock yourself out". After the team showed real potential, the owners committed some of our in-house resources and a chunk of cash to help get the conversion finished and handle marketing and publishing. That version (Rising Storm) did great and so, those modders got funds to start their own company, AntiMatter Games UK.
That said, the customers are our lifeblood. We love the modders and the community, but they are less than 1% of the player base. We want you to be free and creative, but we can't let you harm the majority of people in the game that are just wanting to have fun. Keep your mods tidy and tested, don't rip other game's assets, violate copyrights or get obscene and we'll all have a good time.

Pirates and Monkey Island (on C64)
Ultima 7 (on PC) best RPG ever
Showing your age. Ultima 7 was the first game I worked on, after moving over from video graphics, in '91. Ouch, that was a long time ago.

Greetings,
I've been making games for more than 20 years and still play and mod games in my off time.
Lately I've been kit bashing some buildings together on FO4's Spectacle Island (link in sig).
I am getting good results with the Homemaker Mod, Spring Cleaning, ESP and Basement Living.
Cheers
