How on Earth can you get by with 300+ mods not using LOOT?

I was hoping someone would recognize the specific issue... guess I have to bite the bullet and learn how to merge plugins. Forgot to mention - I use MO2, if by any chance that helps. As I said, the issues apply even in new games (but only once I load them; first time around they seem to work).

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have played the game for quite a period of time with hundreds of mods (over 300 esp plugins; don't know how it's possible). A while ago, I finally updated to 2.0.16 and installed a few more mods. The save now insists that I am missing one major mod, but it keeps changing its mind about which one it is. First it was Ordinator. I checked and found that it was enabled and that everything was in order, but reinstalled it anyway and ran LOOT. Now, it is Imperious that is the problem. Starting a new game confirmed that it was indeed not there, and reinstalls changed nothing. I recently tried running LOOT again, and this time my efforts only succeeded in changing the missing mod to Palaces and Castles Enhanced. It's just a symptom of something worse, I think. When I actually open a save - even ones from a new game - everything goes berserk. Notifications from various mods fire randomly, and the spell Frostbite shoots out of my character's face. I don't recall exactly which mods I added, but I remember being sure that none of them were the problem. Going over the plugin limit is possibly the cause, but then why was I able to get away with it for so long? EDIT: Reinstalling SSE didn't work, either.

I remember playing with an overhaul mod that made robe enchantments add more power to spells instead of making them cheaper. It was not this - it actually replaced the enchantments, for each school of magic. I don't think it was the focus of the mod, but just one of the changes it made. I actually still do have the old modlist on NMM and could play it if I felt like reinstalling the game afterwards, but there's little point. Most of the major overhauls I still use, and there's not much else that looks plausible that I haven't researched. I've even looked at Summermyst and MCoW. EDIT: It was Awakened Magicka.

Unsure if this is the appropriate place to put this, but the mod (here) is broken. The download button just leads me to a page with a bunch of phpBB errors. Does anyone know another place to download it, or if they already have it themselves, could they share it? (I'm willing to give my email if it can't be done publicly.) EDIT: Apparently Nature Unification Compilation is also affected.
