Not sure if anyone can help with this, kind of losing my mind over this because it's making absolutely no sense.
For reference, I own the game and have access to all the versions on itch. About 4 days ago, I set up a lightly modded 0.9.0.11 (had a new slave outfit which I've never even seen in any of the patch notes on discord) version of the game. I had the cheats mod and ultra mod manager. I could launch the game fine and experienced no bugs. There was an update recently to .12, so I backed up my game folder to a zip file, updated to 0.9.0.12, and gave the mods a try (I usually just check and see if they still work, and look for updates if there aren't any, or roll back if it doesn't work at all). I've done this more than a handful of times over the last year or two and have never had issues, and have always been able to figure it out, until now.
So here's the problem.
I was getting a crashing bug on launch in game version 0.9.0.12, so I reverted back to .11. After trying to launch the game, I got an error after hitting accept in the ultra mod manager screen on game launch. The error went away without the mods. I reverted the game to .10, got the same error, then I did .09, same error. At this point, I decided to try every single version of the game starting at and after B.0.9.0.0, and the game will not launch with Ultra mod manager by itself on any version (removed cheats mod completely from the mods folder just to be on the safe side).
Some versions have different errors, though the early versions seem to have some sort of problem with a fishkind martial artist skill being duplicated so not sure if related.
I even extracted my backup zip and got errors.
I don't know how else to explain this, it's like I've been playing this game for years, never had this issue, game worked fine the other day, but now all of a sudden, the game refuses to load on ANY version if ultra mod manager is present. I don't get it? It's like my computer just banned me from executing that mod, it makes no sense. I am using the latest version of ultra. Is there some sort of cache somewhere, or registry information that got corrupted or something?

TLDR: Ultra Mod Manager, by itself on a fresh install of the game, causes errors like above if I try to use it on any version of the game, when it didn't before, even if I use the game version that just worked for me a week ago.
I tried 1.2.1 and 1.2.0, and 1.1.0 of ultra mod manager.
Tested versions, as listed on itch.io:
B0.9.0.0
B0.9.0.1
B0.9.0.2
B0.9.0.3
B0.9.0.4
B0.9.0.4.1
B0.9.0.4.2
B0.9.0.5
B0.9.0.6
B0.9.0.6 (another.6 released on the same day according to the itch downloader)
B0.9.0.7
B0.9.0.8
B0.9.0.9
B0.9.0.10
B0.9.0.11
B0.9.0.12
B0.9.0.12 (another .12 released on the same day according to the itch downloader)'
Edit: Just tested on laptop on several versions as well. 0.9.0.0, 0.9.0.5-0.9.012. Same exact error. I have NO idea how I got this working a week ago.
