Update problems / General issues

Since I updated the game, I have not been able to save with save and exit or normal save it worked once but now I just get stuck in the screen, I haven't tried it yet but I have seen a work around using save as, I am currently uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if that helps but this has been happening since the September update with grim rewards. 

I do use mods, and I have been for quite some time, but this has never been an issue. I've checked through my mods folder deleting anything I think might be at fault as well as running scans with mccc and better exceptions, but nothing seems to be fixing this issue I've never had this problem before, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

    So after reinstalling I put my saves and mods back in and tested out the work around which is using save as instead of save or save and exit and its worked for me more specifically, I can successfully save in build mode with the save as.

    tomboy100805  Do you still need help?  If so, please let me know whether you can "save" or "save as" in a new save, in live mode and build mode.  Please also let me know what currently works in your main save.  The first question is whether the problem is limited to your main save or more global.

    tomboy100805  Does the lot you're trying to load use the Off the Grid trait?  That's a known issue, but you can remove the trait in Build mode.  (Use Load Game rather than Resume.)

    Please also test with no mods or custom content, even i you wouldn't play that way going forward.  It's important, for troubleshooting purposes, to distinguish between issues caused or influenced by mods or cc and those that exist without them.

      so after taking out my mods it loaded up but now its the task of figuring out which of them it is (a picture of my mods folder below) everything I use it mostly script mods with one being a mod that uses xml injector which hasn't been updated in quite some time.
