I can't make a new character, and my mods aren't the problem.

I recently got back into Dragon Age Inquisition after not touching it for almost a year. I'd never played it with mods before, so I decided to give it a shot. I got the latest Frosty Mod Manager, went into the nexus and picked out everything I wanted for a new gaming experience. 
I had some difficulties before, but worked them out by deleting anything that was incompatible with each other, repairing my game, and restarting my computer. I was able to make a few new games for myself so that I could play through different classes and romance arcs. 
Recently however, I haven't been able to create any new characters, or even load in my other characters save for the one I got past the tutorial zone. I thought that maybe I'd messed up the other saves by accidentally deleting a mod that they needed in order to run. So, I double-checked my mod list, deleted those saves and repaired the game again. 
I tried creating a new character again. I managed to get to the point where I chose my race, class and difficulty. It uploaded my world state and started in with the loading process and I thought everything was just peachy. I knew it might take awhile because I had several mods that needed to load in.
But even after waiting for 8+ hours, I never got past the black loading screen with the little flashing Inquisition symbol in the corner. The one save I didn't delete still loads up and runs just fine. All the mods I'm using are working for that save. 
I checked and checked and checked again to make sure my mods had no conflicts or game-breaking bugs, but they're all perfectly fine. I do NOT understand why my game is being so difficult. I can't make any more characters and I don't know why.
Please tell me somebody else has had this problem, or at least has some idea what might be wrong? I've looked all over for solutions but I can't seem to find any.
