Just tried proceeding to the same point again after killing a new horse of mine, same issue. So that's not the issue, but thanks anyways for the idea.

I recently started playing Skyrim again for the first time in a couple years and upgraded to the anniversary edition. Just an hour or so ago, after accumulating roughly 75 hours of gameplay on my character, the game abruptly froze during the mission "The Cure for Madness" when I exited the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary and Shadowmere started to emerge from the black pool just outside. Thinking that it may have had something to do with my mods (Convenient Horses in particular, I had Frost right next to the entrance at the time) I tried loading the same point again with Frost a considerable distance away. Again, the game abruptly froze. Thinking that maybe the issue was that Frost is a unique horse, I tried purchasing a common horse and progressing to the same point. That didn't work either. Seeing as how I don't know of any way to "deactivate" a horse without "activating" another one as the active horse, I'm at a bit of a loss, so I figured I'd seek some assistance. I'd really like to not have to start a whole new character after over 70 hours of gameplay, so any help would be greatly appreciated. My mod list is quite extensive. The load order is the exact same as seen in the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssXr9bbXh8Q&t=658s I also have the Creation Club content from the Anniversary edition, but I only recently installed it all mid-playthrough after mistakenly believing it to be downloaded and active since the beginning, which could also be the issue but I'm really hoping it's not. Thanks in advance for anyone and everyone's time and assistance with this frustrating issue.
