By the way, if you're wondering how I plan to stop this situation from repeating, from now on I'm going to install all mods the long way -- by editing the PHP and database entries manually. So far I've been relying on EasyMod, a mod that installs other mods. It's quick and easy, and the first mod you install is guaranteed to work perfectly... but any mods after the first may be dealing with files that have already been altered, and EasyMod really sucks at that. Thus, small errors crop up, and you can get a situation like this. In future I'll take the time to handle mods myself; it's tedious, but I'll have human judgment to apply when something unexpected arises.

This is also why I don't leave Data in command anymore.
