FS22 | Endless 20% loading and mod issues

[NordicTaurus]

So, what is wrong with my game?

Ever since the Nov/Dec update (can't remember which it was) I've been struggling with massive mod issues. Before every new save I have to clear the MODS directory and sift through which I can use, otherwise I just get stuck at 20% loading, I'm removing around 50-60 mods every time that cause my game to stop loading at 20%. Notice, that most of time I only have mods from the official mod hub.
Productions seem to be especially bad, since 75% of production mods make my game stop at 20%. At peak before this issue I was running some 1150 mods (A lot, I know), now I'm at around 600.

Is anybody else going throug this?
Any suggestions, ideas, thougts?

All the best

Sounds like a too many fill types issue but yeah the log would definitely help.

[NordicTaurus]

Ah, sorry. I had the log ready but forgot to attatch it.
Here you go, thanks in advance.

[UncleRico]

Try unchecking maizeplus or the premium expansion. It will give you the quickest answer. If it loads you have to many fill types.

[NordicTaurus]

I'll try that when I get home, thanks.
If that turns out to be the case, what, if anything, can be done about it?

[UncleRico]

Play a different map that allows for it or remove other mods that add other fill types that can be tipped to the ground

So I unchecked the Premium expansion and don't have Maize plus. Still hangs at 20%.
I'm at a loss, my game seems to be cursed.

Also, I've tried multiple maps.

[UncleRico]

So I’ve double checked and your log says it’s loading the mod maize plus. Maybe I’m not understanding something which is quite possible but I would check in case it’s been downloaded without you noticing as a dependent mod

[UncleRico]

Yeah I double checked and you have the sugar mill with byproducts which requires maize plus

[NordicTaurus]

Yes, sorry. I just realised. I added those mods to re-create the error. I don't try to load them usually as they are two of many mods I can't use without getting stuck at 20%.

My bad

So if you take certain mods out you can play the game?

[NordicTaurus]

Yes, I have around 60-70 mods that I've removed after going through the mods folder in batches several times.

I noticed just now that Swathing addon was one of the ones that stopped the game loading earlier. So I removed a few production mods that I hardly use, moved Swathing addon back in to "mods" and it worked fine.
Seems like I'm hitting some sort of limit. I don't have Terraform, that's one that wouldn't load. I've heard that might cause filltype issues.

Btw, thanks for taking the time to look at this, appreciate it.

If you ever run into an issue where this the case you can edit the height types xml in Maize plus to comment out any fill types that you don't wish to be able to tip to ground. Disturbed Simulations has a video on it.
