Wow, you're all over the place with issues. I honestly don't believe you've done the setup correctly. If you originally downloaded the mods from the Catalog tab, then the Download button will have changed to Installed. The only reason you could have Installed in the Library tab but Download in the Catalog tab is because you Imported the mods. There are two ways to Import mods:

1) Use the Import button in the Library tab.
2) Workshop -> Settings -> Automatically import mods in library folder --- If this is checked, then it's possible to copy mods to a temporary location, reinstall everything, copy the mods back into the library folder, and startup 7th Heaven to get them automatically imported. Of course, any other .iro mods not belonging to the Catalog that are placed in there will import automatically as well.

Either way, you want the Catalog tab to have the Installed button. My suggestion is to Uninstall all the current mods in your Library tab, and Download again from the Catalog.

Alright so I uninstalled all the mods, and now when I try to download them it says

 System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'SharpCompress, Version=0.12.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I have no idea why it would do this. I looked through the registry and was unable to find what is told me to. This just really isnt going well for me. It just keeps getting worse
 
You might be better off just uninstalling and starting from STEP 1 again. Make sure to remove the
old registry keys and start over. Then run the GC again.
 
Thats what I planned on doing but I cant see to figure out how to uninstall it.
 
So after uninstalling everything and reinstalling it, I am still left with the previous problem of just a black background for character pictures and battle screen. The only mod I activated was Dynamic Cloud Weapons
 
Should I backup my mods folder thats inside of FFVII, delete everything in the folder and re install the patch? Last time it just made a copy from my Program Files (x86) To Games.
 
There is no way you should be getting black areas with only that one mod activated. Sounds like the copy feature from the GC didn't work. You should start fresh again and install to C:\Games\FF7. That will bypass the copying and should hopefully fix your problem.
 
So should I uninstall FF7 from steam, delete the FF7 folders, and then re install and start from there?
 
Again, from the FAQ - question 5:

➣ For whatever reasons, I need to start over with a fresh install.

If you have modded your game folder before, particularly with installers like Bootleg Configurator, The Reunion, etc., then the registry keys aren't cleaned properly to work with 7th Heaven.

1. Uninstall Final Fantasy VII.
2. Delete all the junk files in the game directory.
2. Run this to clean FF7 registry keys: DOWNLOAD
3. Run CCleaner (optional but free): DOWNLOAD
4. Install Final Fantasy VII and begin at STEP 1 again.

With CCleaner, you want to use the Registry cleaner. Then, when you install again with Steam, be sure to tell it to install to C:\Games\FF7. Right now, you must have Steam installing to the Program Files (x86), which the GC identifies as a problem and tries to copy the game folder over to C:\Games\FF7. However, the copy process doesn't seem to be working for you.
 
Before when it copied it over, it did it successfully and it was moved to C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII    Is it acceptable to download into C:\Program files (86x)\steam\steamapps\common\Final Fantasy VII  and have the patch copy it over still or perhaps install it to my F:/ Drive? It wont let me install to a folder manually
 
You can create new Library locations by right-clicking the Steam icon in your Task Tray, then select Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folders -> Add Library Folder. Add C:\Games and now when you Install from Steam, you can select C:\Games as a location.
 
So far its working well. I am installing and applying the mods one by one. I greatly appreciate your help and will post updates on how things are working until a problem occurs.

Thank you so much for all your help! It took us like 2 weeks, but through your expertise we finally got it working. I am beyond grateful and so excited to play, if any problems arise (Knowing my luck they will) I will start a new thread. Have a great weekend!
