If all you want to do is use a new mod on one of your existing save files you just "load game". No sync needed. If you don't want a mod enabled on a save, disable it, and load the game.

Not necessarily being corrupt (though it could be), but maybe their is some kind of action being taken at that exact moment that with the introduction/removal of these mods is causing the problem.

For example (though I believe this one was fixed), if you had a mod that introduced a new fuel, then you removed it while a burner was actively consuming a piece, it caused problems (I think it was a crash).

I’d look at what these mods are supposed to do and think about things like that (what could possibly break by adding/removing this) and go from there. You basically may need to make sure that nothing is actively happening in the areas where these mods cause changes. There may also be a deeper issue that doesn’t show unless you have certain things built/in a specific order or something crazy like that.
