It looks like the issue comes from installing the mod through the in-game mod menu.
This mod cannot be installed using MDRG’s built-in system; it must be installed externally using "MelonLoader", as mentioned clearly by @IkariDev on both the thread and the GitHub page.

Below is the correct installation process directly from the developer’s GitHub, summarized for clarity:

Requirements

• MelonLoader: https://github.com/LavaGang/MelonLoader/releases
• Mods.zip: https://github.com/IkariDevGIT/MDRGMoanMod/releases

⚠️ Make sure the mod version matches your MDRG game version, as noted under Compatible MDRG Versions.

1. Install MelonLoader:

1. Download MelonLoader from the link above.
2. Open the installer → "Add game manually".
3. Select "My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend.exe".
4. Click on the game in the MelonLoader menu.
5. DO NOT enable "nightly builds". Install the MelonLoader version "0.7.2".
6. Press Install.

2. First Launch:

• Run the game once after installing MelonLoader.
  This step is required — it will generate the correct folder structure.

3. Install the Mod:

1. Go to your "MDRG game folder".
2. Extract "Mods.zip" directly into the "/Mods/" folder.
3. You should now have:

\(MDRG Game's folder)/Mods/MoanMod.dll and /Mods/MoanMod/... 

❌ Do not place the mod inside an extra subfolder such as /Mods/Mods/.

Expected Folder Structure:

Game Install Folder/
├── My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend.exe
├── (Other game files...)
└── Mods/
    ├── MoanMod.dll
    └── MoanMod/
        ├── cumming/
        │   ├── start/
        │   ├── while/
        │   └── end/
        ├── while/
        └── breath/

If MelonLoader is showing a startup error, it usually means:

• The wrong game executable was selected
• The installation paths aren’t correct
• The mod version doesn’t match your MDRG version
