Black screen in main menu

I was playing a couple days ago and everything worked fine, but then I turned on mods and restarted the game and it launched to the main menu, but the background was completely black and I cant interact with anything.

I looked up the issue on the internet and apparently many people are having the same experience and it has something to do with mods, but I removed all the mods I have (TOOL and Betterbuildbuy) and it still doesnt work. I tried pretty much everything people said might work (remove mods, delete cache, run game on dx9 and dx11, turned off script mods, repaired the game, restarted my pc a billion times, uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game) and it still looks exactly the same.

I also can still hover over everything and I get the little "animation" (the color of the text changes) as if it would work but nothing happens when I click on it and I also cant close the game I need to restart my pc for it to close.
