Skyrim SE will not start up (via SKSE64 or standard launcher)

[StarTrekManiac2]

So I've spent several hours modding up my game as carefully as I can, following the installing order of this guide.

 

For about 75% of the modding I performed, the game would work.

However, after installing the SexLab/SoS ('Body Mods' section in the aforementioned guide doesn't include this stuff), I kind of.. well... got inpatient and stopped testing.

So once I had finished installing SexLab and SoS, I tested the game and it appeared to be running fine. After that point, I didn't test until I finished following the mods I wanted to install via the guide.

Now, though, with a number of mods installed since that section and completing my setup of a modded Skyrim, I cannot start Skyrim SE.

What happens?

Well, it shows up on Steam as though the game is running (green text). Given about 30 seconds or so, nothing happens, then Steam shows the game has stopped running (white text).
Starting via SKSE64 or with the launcher itself doesn't work.

 

I would VERY MUCH rather not disable all my mods because it's a complex, long and tedious setup to enable in the right order once again.

Ah! I managed to fix the start up issue.

I did some LOOT-scanning of some of the messages from the mod order and did some minor patching for some mods. These were, however, just cosmetic (ie fixing grass clipping for a village overhaul, like JK Skyrim and Verdant Grass), and would not be the culprits for the crash.
Testing confirmed this - the game still would not load.

 

Then, I re-ran FNIS and appeared to have missed a specific FNIS warning!
FNIS detected that a 'behavior.hkx' file for the Skyrim SE conversion of SexLab Defeat is for some reason not compatible with SSE yet.

Uninstalling this mod fixed that.

It's funny - I've never had a mod make the game completely unable to start up before. Sure, a crash at the main menu sounds like it would have been more likely, but hey-ho.
