The Error I receive upon starting the game at the menu and when I either Load a Game or start a new Single Player game:
release-949 (x64)[M]
c++ exception: ‘startermod_items’ has no alias named ‘sample_buff’ in the manifest.

I originally thought it was colliding with another mod(s) so I had deselected and unsubscribed from the mods, but there was no difference. I seems to come from the ACE 0.9.3.3 Mod itself. I’ve uninstalled every mod and the game, as well as reinstalling, Starting the the ACE mod first, starting the game up, and getting the same engine error. If anyone has gotten this, please let me know how to fix this.
ACE is probably the only mod trying to index buffs in that way, so unless the mod causing the problem actually tried to use that buff reference (e.g., spawning an entity that would start with that buff), you probably wouldn’t see an error for it. But ACE indexes all buffs on load so that more detailed buff information is cached and available to other parts of the game, like showing buffs and debuffs given/inflicted by crafted items in the workshop UI.
You should disable Smart Crafter when using ACE, because ACE has it built-in.
As for the others, my mods (Obligation/Timer Tracker, UnitFramePlus) and any of Bruno’s, Dani’s, or any other really active modder, shouldn’t have a reference to the startermod_items mod.
Personally, I’d do a binary search by enabling half of the mods at a time and just going back to the main menu to see if the error is happening: if it’s not, enable half of the remaining; if the error does occur, restart the process with just the collection of mods you just enabled. Should only take ~5 tries to figure out what mod it is.
i run many of those mods aswell except the templates and most of the biomes
box o vox and fruit & animals(box o vox) do not need to be active at the same time
I’m thinking it could be greeklings or norsehearth
As a matter of fact there are a bunch of mods in that list that could cause issues
Better Storage is incompatible with ACE
You have both Box o’ Vox (complete) and parts of it (like the Fruits & Animals) which duplicates content
Clan Amberstone is broken/incomplete
Dense Fields is broken with the new ACE farming field system
Elves of Veloren is partially broken and unfinished
Norsehearth, as stated below, causes the error you were originally experiencing
Smart Crafter, as Paul pointed out, is not needed with ACE
UnitFramePlus is not needed in the newest version of ACE
As Bruno pointed out, you must have all base mods active for playing with ACE
This includes the Northern Alliance and Rayya’s Children, so turn them back on to be able to launch the game (you can do so by deleting the user_settings.json in the game folder - or editing it with a good text editor (like Notepad++ or Visual Studio) to make the northern_alliance mod and the rayyas_children mod be both true instead of false)
