Holy God I'm actually really glad I read all of this. Over the last few weeks I had gone on this massive mod hunt and ended up adding and extra 160 plugins to the 15 I currently had. Needless to say nothing worked I tried getting my friend to help me (which I don't know if he has a forum name here or not but if he does it's probably Shamurai7) and despite him being my resident Skyrim expert he pretty much said that he would probably have to look at my game hands on to trouble shoot my problems (note this was after hours of troubleshooting over Teamspeak). However, after reading the part in this guide that suggested disabling all mods then enabling 5 at a time it took me 3 f*#@ing days but thank Christ everything is working now I ended up removing about 21 of the mods that I just couldn't get to play nice or that I decided I actually didn't like. Thank god there's so many noob friendly mod guide and experts on nexus.
