You have to re-install. Elvenstar messes with the core game files, and thus you can't play any other mod.

You have to reinstall the game, Elvenstar overwrite the main game files so mods that use the -mod command, like TEA, can't properly read the orginal files.
Note that using the -mod command does not change the orginal game files.

Yeah, the Elvenstar mod should really fix that. Not user friendly for other mods at all. Glad that you can play other mods now. :p

I still think you should just use NSIS or something and use %appdata%\My Battle for Middle-earth Files for the target path...

I used to be {AE}Manveru, if that rings a bell.

That isn't a problem with TEA. It happens when the game thinks it's a cracked version. Are you using a legal copy of BFME?

Try reinstalling the game again. Don't forget to patch up.

All my units and structures for the elven faction are all invisible, and the new units for all the other factions are invisible too, as well as their icons showing up as a pinkish purple circle. I followed the directions on the troubleshooting page that came with the mod but it hasn't helped.

Where did you install the .big file (actual mod file)? Do not put it in the program file folder. Instead, put it in "My Battle for Middle-earth Files" folder.
