Crossbow causing CTD

I recently did a fresh install of Skyrim, and modded it with MO. Everything was going well, until suddenly I met someone from Dawnguard (via the Immersive Patrols mod) and my game crashed. The game wouldn't crash until the NPC in question went into combat. As a result, I began removing mods, warping to qasmoke from the main menu, and grabbing a crossbow from the Dawnguard containers, and testing to see if I could replicate it.
Now, having removed all of my mods in MO, my game still crashes when I try to pull out a crossbow. It equips fine, but when I try to ready it, the game crashes. I am stumped. Below is the papyrus log, any help or direction is appreciated. I only have Skyrim and the three DLCs activated

You see, you have a lot of orphaned scripts now, that are bloating up your game. They can cause errors, freezes, crashes, a whole lot of nasty stuff, long after the mod is gone. Go ahead and start a new game and get a crossbow, see if it works. If it does, we know it's your save, not a problem with the game

Apologies if I wasn't clear. I have deactivated all mods with MO and I am starting a new game.

I'm beginning to wonder if there is a problem with my Dawnguard.bsa. I'm just hoping it's not, because my internet is gloriously slow and it would take a day or three to redownload.

If you're absolutely sure that you don't have ANY activated mods, and you're starting with a brand new save and getting a crossbow and it still doesn't work, then the best you can do is "Verify integrity of game cache" via Steam. That way, it'll only download the files that are bad.

 

If it STILL doesn't work, then I'd suggest a full reinstall. Make sure, before you take this step though, that you have all vanilla content. No manually installed mods, no plugins somehow still active, nothing. Make sure everything is vanilla. That way, we're absolutely sure it's because of the vanilla game and not because of any mods that could be lingering around somewhere.

 

Also, in that Papyrus log, it looks as if that's still in a modded game, or at least with scripts left over.

I can confirm I manually installed nothing, save SKSE, and everything is deactivated in MO. But, upon looking through my Data folder, I checked out the Scripts folder therein, saw the usual SKSE scripts, but also a whole crapton (10,000+) of other scripts. I have no clue how they got there, seeing as everything was installed through MO. I moved them out of the Data directory for backup and then ran Skyrim, but the problem persists. The papyrus log looks nearly identical, even with the scripts gone.

Out of curiousity, I ran Skyrim with SKSE, outside of MO, and surprisingly it didn't crash. So the problem must somehow be related to MO, not Skyrim itself.
