I was bad and updated too many mods...

[Wolfpack49]

Well, I foolishly went on a mod updating spree, and I am of course now paying the price with a CTD on loading a save,,,, (yes, I know better!) I've been going through the crash logs and a few lines that keep showing up periodically are these, and I seem to remember seeing these before one time when I was crashing. Do these give any clear pointers to mods that might be an issue -- I know for certain USSEP isn't at fault, but maybe something is trying to reference it? I removed the reference from Synthesis.esp but it still shows up as being triggered by Skyrim.esm so I don't think that Synthesis is at fault either.

Attached the whole log if it helps. Thanks for any pointers..urg. Going now methodically back through my installs and reverting to see if i can find the culprit.

Okay, really weird -- I checked my EngineFixes.toml settings and somehow they got reverted to the defaults. I restored the correct settings and all is working again. It's strange, because I didn't think I touched EF, but in any case, all is fixed.
