Re: game loading still in progress
It sounds like you have some broken mods or CC. Which either needs to be removed or updated.
You can find a full list of broken/incompatible CC and mods since the Seasons expansion pack over here:

If it still doesn't work I suggest taking out half of your mods and CC and testing the game. Then keep splitting until you find all that is broken.
Either update or remove the broken CC/mods.
