How to find broken mods that cause objects to disappear

Hello everyone!

In my previous save file I had problems with placing the recycler. After I cleaned up my mods and CC I created a new save file and placed my builds again. There was no problem until today but each item I tried to place disappears now. Additionally, sometimes I cannot even place the object, clicking the mouse won't work. I get Better Exceptions error but I am not sure how to interpret it too. I have almost 7500 mods and CC in my game there is no way for me to play my save file free of mods and CC but I can't even play it now. What would be the best solution? Do you think there is a specific broken mod/cc that is causing this that I need to restart my game over and over to find it? ☹️ Thanks in advance for the help.

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    I will definitely try deleting localthumbcache too, thanks. The problem is that when I repair the game it works fine, but the moment I add BetterExceptions to my mods folder the same error occurs. Do you think it might be about BetterExceptions, (moveobjects cheat etc.) or do I have to search for a specific mod or cc in case it is broken?

    Thanks a lot!

    I still have the same problem, especially I detect the problem when I am trying to place fabricator.
