I seem to keep encountering duplicate characters, which is pretty bizzare. Maybe I'm just blind but I don't see many people talk about it, but as far as I understand, it's a "normal" issue, right? Or should I get an exorcist?
Duplicate characters is a common issue when people apply conflicting mods. Generally Aric's mod is not compatible with most other mods. Known compatible mods are Bugfix, Debug, Constants, and Improved Random Portraits.
Improved Random Portraits is one of the few compatible mods, I think you may have misread the ones he listed as incompatible. Anything BUT those likely will break it.
