Are you LOOTing your load order? I know some folks say that if you're using MO, LOOT isn't necessary. I think it's better to still use it.

 

One thing that pops out at me is that Lanterns of Skyrim is above the Unofficial Patch. USSEP should always be first in your load order (after Skyrim and the DLCs, that is.) In my own load order, Lanterns of Skyrim is usually around the middle of my load order and always below mods that affect lighting. Maybe that will help you.

yup using loot, and then manually dragging specific esps that needs to be placed above/below other esp (patch related such as ZIA-MLU patches.)
