As they say - I was just messing with you, wanted to see how you would react, having some fun at your expense, and all that, etc. (I've always considered myself the chaotic neutral type with a bad case of mood swings, btw). I know it might have left a bad taste. Let's just consider it a bad joke, if you will.
That being said, I'm assuming this is still your 1st playthrough, so I think you probably don't want to play with mods, just so you can at least experience the entire original game once. Let alone playing with so many mods that you get such an unstable playthrough. What you said (incompatibilities, long loading times) sounds like major pain to me. Especially in the case of this game, where chances are good that you'll have to reload a lot.
