Forge 1.12.2 crash

[Zagato]

Hi,

 

I am not too familiar with Mac and the PC lingo. Please help!!!

 

I downloaded Forge 1.12.2 for my daughter, I followed multiple instructions exactly but the game is not loading. 

Every-time we try to load the game it crashes.

 

Below is my crash report:

I don't remember modifying it. I removed all the jars from the Mods folder and replaced them, but am still getting the error message.

How can I fix it?

[Zagato]

removed all jars that I recently downloaded. (yesterday and today)

You should never extract a mod, just take the file that you download and put it into the mods folder.

If there is a mod that tells you to extract it, this is wrong and they need to update their instructions.

There should only be one folder in the mods folder named 1.12.2, Anything else needs to be deleted.

Thank you!

 

I removed everything that wasn’t a jar file and the game loaded fine!!!!!

 

thank you so much for all your help!!!!!!
