Broken loading screen

It’s been a month or two since i last played and I felt an urge to play again, and rebooted my whole mods folder, meaning everything in it is new/updated as of yesterday.

My game will run entirely fine with minimal lag and will load up to the main menu quite quickly, until I click “load game” or “new game” where it ends up «breaking».

Loading a previous game will take me to the season screen, but then afterwards, the residential worlds screen will be entirely blank besides the text at the top of the screen - this happens even if the previous game was already saved into a plot. Choosing any option from there onwards, such as trying to open the gallery, will just crash the game and i’ll have to force my PC to shut down.

Choosing new game will just send the game to a white screen, i have let that load for hours at a time hoping it’ll work, but i’ve never had any luck and it appears to be infinitely «loading».
