Not really much useful information to go on, but chances are high that it's the usual problem. The most likely cause is that you applied the mod through the mod system(the mod comes completely pre-applied), which is what most of this mod thread is devoted to undoing. Otherwise, you did something unusual to your game.

i didn't place the files that say place me here inside of arics, i strictly installed, then went to my users>appdata>strive and placed Arics itself into mods with random portraits and then proceeded to apply mods and start as usual 

As you didn't specify which mods you applied, I'll say it plain and simple. If you applied the Aric's mod, then you broke it. The solution is to carefully read the installation steps listed at the beginning of the first post of this topic.
