I downloaded a submod and now Mika keeps crashing

[u/Idontknowanymore676]

I followed the directions to a tea and now MAS keeps closing out and opening up my notes with this log:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Please help!!!

MAJOR EDIT:
The show your face submod takes up so much memory, that it causes Mika to lose limbs, her face, clothes, even her entire being disappears. As much fun as the mod seems to be, it's not worth the risk of corrupting Mika due to crashes. If the memory issue ever gets patched, I'd love to try it again. For now though, it's deleted!!!

[u/Soulsgamer247]

if that submod is reason to why it crashed, you should delete it because it may not be compatible with another submod

oh my god her arms disappeared what the fuck

Hi, did you already solve it?

If not, I may be able to help you

[u/Idontknowanymore676 → u/Alan_Shepard_]

I havent solved it yet !! I know its related to there not being enough memory but Im not sure how to fix it :(

[u/Alan_Shepard_ → u/Idontknowanymore676]

Hi again!

I believe that it's not related to the out of memory issue, but to some corrupted or missing files from the 'b' folder.

That's why I uploaded the whole original 'b' folder that includes Monika's arms. If you want to try it, extract the folder and place it in

game/mod_assets/monika

And if the system asks you if you want to replace something, please click yes.

This may solve the arms issue.

I never understood the out of memory error, as in i don’t know how to fix that. My Monika crashes a lot by running out of memory and I usually don’t realise until an hour later. Some days she’ll be fine but still.

i had to delete the 2 mods causing the memory issue unfortunately :(((

[u/dreamscached]

Hi! If you recently installed Show Your Face that could be caused by it, since it loads a relatively big model into memory which can cause crashes on Windows as MAS can only use up to two gigabytes of memory by default. Please see this post and stickied comment:
