Yes and yes. I'm using about half or so of the mods in Snigaroo's full build on Reddit. Not using many of the ones that change things like textures or such, though.
After a bit of troubleshooting, I've found that this is causing the HK-50 on Peragus to appear translucent in my game. Not sure which exact mod is causing it, and I haven't found if it affects any other HKs. (though i assume it does)
