I assume you're talking about the Image and Neo-standard Mods I reference, right?

If so, no problem. These "mods" are just large Groups of new images for components, facilities, ships, etc. My mod is entirely datafiles (the only images I include that overwrite existing ones are the intro screens; my extra ship images load into a separate folder). It shouldn't even matter what order you load them in. Just 1) load SEIV off the disc into a new folder; 2) update it to 1.84; then 3) load the Image modpacks, the Neo-Standard ship pack, and my Mod in whatever order. You should then be good to go.

Combining my mod with other mods with major data changes (Proportions, AIC, etc.) is not possible - but that goes for trying to combine any mods of this type. You'd have to go through the data files for *both* mods and reconcile the differences, tweak the AIs to handle them, ad infinitum ad nauseam - and then you'd have a third (and entirely different) mod (not to mention questions about infringement of intellectual property).

EDIT - Clarified loading instructions
