i load skyrim through vortex with skse64 and when try to get in the game it crashes during loading screen if anyone kno9ws why pls let me know ?

First off, I want to say that I am not incredibly skilled at modding games; more often than not, I turn to the easiest/most automated method I can to mod a game, purely because one time I tried manually installing mods and basically ruined an entire computer. Granted, now I know a bit more about how files and compatibilities work, I still feel leery about diving too deep into files and folders to manually fix issues. Just a disclaimer. Now the issue. As of today (April 3, 2018) it seems that, whenever one of my followers attempts to change outfits to their standard (outside) outfit, the game freezes. My hypothesis: there is an issue with this specific follower OR there is an issue with my load order or version of my game causing the freeze. For specifics, the follower in question is Derkeethus. I had just found him yesterday, and he seemed to be problem-free until today. I noticed the issue after sleeping in my bed in Breezehome, then going outside, where, for a few seconds, the game flowed normally. However, upon my followers switching from home to standard outfits, the game froze. I figured "maybe its just because my computer ran into an error," or "maybe it was because I wasn't plugged in (charging) and it was too much for the computer to handle." What's strange about this is that yesterday everything worked just fine. So, I tried a few other methods of rooting out the problem: I noticed on another occasion leaving Breezehome that only Lydia (my only other active AFT follower) came out first, and her outfit switched almost immediately with the usual split-second lag. However, a moment later Derkeethus came out, and when the game attempted to change his outfit, it froze just before his home outfit was removed. I tried leaving it to process for a few minutes, nothing. Ambient sounds and music seem to continue, but otherwise the game is entirely frozen: Windows key won't work, Ctrl+Alt+Del won't allow the task manager to appear (even after selecting it) and Alt+F4 won't force the program to close, I have to manually restart my computer each time through Ctrl+Alt+Del. If any of this information helps: -Derkeethus' standard outfit is partially composed of armor parts from a mod that added several (hundred) new armor sets to the game, though this was not an issue yesterday. -Yesterday, I also installed a mod that reshapes each race's body to be more "lore friendly," though again I hadn't noticed problems after installing it. If it was only body shapes, I don't understand why it would cause the game to freeze during outfit change. -My Skyrim did have an update before launching today, I think it was only the VR update, or possibly an update for VR mode bugfixes; it was relatively small, less than 10 MB. This may be the source of the issue, I know sometimes seemingly unrelated updates can change important details. -I also installed LOOT for the first time after the first few crashes, thinking maybe my load order just needed some tweaking. After sorting my load order with LOOT's automatic sorting, the error still continued, however it seemed like the conversation menu options were in the correct order, a few had changed position. I doubt this was the cause, but it shouldn't be ruled out. After sorting with LOOT, this is my load order (copied directly from LOOT): 0 0 Skyrim.esm 1 1 Update.esm 2 2 Dawnguard.esm 3 3 HearthFires.esm 4 4 Dragonborn.esm 5 5 unofficial skyrim special edition patch.esp 6 6 campfire.esm 7 7 Falskaar.esm 8 8 Cutting Room Floor.esp 9 9 static mesh improvement mod se.esp 10 a yot - your own thoughts.esp 11 b ineed.esp 12 c ineed - extended.esp 13 d RLO - Exteriors.esp 14 e RLO - Interiors.esp 15 f Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul - Skyrim.esp 16 10 phenderix magic world.esp 17 11 SoS - The Wilds.esp 18 12 lamposts of skyrim.esp 19 13 ordinator - perks of skyrim.esp 20 14 SkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.esp 21 15 Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp 22 16 point the way.esp 23 17 inigo.esp 24 18 immersive patrols ii.esp 25 19 incubex delwraith's cooking and alchemy mod.esp 26 1a frostfall.esp 27 1b yot - frostfall module.esp 28 1c yot - campfire.esp 29 1d arrowtweaksfix.esp 30 1e icepenguinworldmap.esp 31 1f rich merchants of skyrim.esp 32 20 violens se.esp 33 21 diversedragonscollectionse.esp 34 22 fast_beast_perks.esp 35 23 cheesemod.esp 36 24 better horses.esp 37 25 realistic_impacts.esp 38 26 amazingfollowertweaks.esp 39 27 get_no_dead_followers_sepc_sp0ckrates.esp 40 28 SkyHUD.esp 41 29 Gri_BeastFeet.esp 42 2a TrainingLimit.esp 43 2b gitgud greaves.esp 44 2c gitgud greaves (dragonborn).esp 45 2d gitgud greaves (dawnguard).esp 46 2e RLO - Effects.esp 47 2f RLO - Illuminated Spells.esp 48 30 RLO - CRF Patch.esp 49 31 Skyrim Flora Overhaul.esp 50 32 Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin SSE Version.esp 51 33 Footprints.esp 52 34 Immersive Sounds - Compendium.esp 53 35 unlimitedamuletsandrings.esp 54 36 moonlight tales special edition.esp 55 37 TrueStormsSE.esp 56 38 wetandcold.esp 57 39 Race Scale Remover.esp 58 3a better leveling.esp 59 3b 50 more perk points.esp 60 3c LrsamwaysExpandedSkyrimWeaponry.esp 61 3d Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp 62 3e ForgottenCity.esp 63 3f beltfastenedquivers.esp 64 40 SimpleOutfitManager.esp 65 41 FNIS.esp 66 42 XPMSSE.esp 67 43 Racial Body Morphs.esp 68 44 open cities skyrim.esp 69 45 immersive citizens - ai overhaul.esp 70 46 alternate start - live another life.esp 71 47 relationship dialogue overhaul.esp 72 48 realisticwatertwo.esp 73 49 RealisticWaterTwo+-+Verdant+Patch.esp 74 4a RLO - IC Patch.esp 75 4b RAO - Alternate Start Patch.esp I personally feel like a few of these are in an awkward order, though nothing seems to be causing issues from my perspective, and nothing pops up as an error from LOOT. If you need any other information, I would be glad to provide it, this is just everything I could think of that would cause the issue. Like I said, I made no changes to the game between yesterday and today, it simply seems to have stopped working correctly. My next few troubleshooting methods will consist of attempting to dismiss Derkeethus, resetting him under AFT or removing him from AFT management, or simply loading an earlier save before the problem occurred. If anyone can provide some feedback, it would be most appreciated. (UPDATE) Well, now the problem has gotten worse: I've run into this error before but I can't remember how to fix it. I tried dismissing Derkeethus, loading an older save, and removing him from AFT management, but it acts like he's permanently a follower now, even though he does not follow me. He draws/sheathes weapons as if he were a follower, and has an option "I think it's time we part ways," but when he says he's leaving the game doesn't say "My follower has left my service," and he remains as my "follower," though as stated he doesn't actually follow me. AFT commands and options are no longer shown either.
