Saves won't open, sent back to main menu

[ilovsapinta]

None of my previous saves will open. They'll load to 75%, back to 50%, then 75%, and finally 100% before being sent back to the main menu. No mods are missing, every mod has been checked for updates, and script extender is up to date. I'm able to make a new character and those saves will load, but all my old saves are completely inaccessible.

Edit: I have also validated my files, and that also didn't help.
Edit 2: 3 of my saves are now working, I'm not sure what corrupted the other saves but not them.

I haven't had this happen to me but I do remember while setting up the game clicking a setting that has something to do with keeping 24 saves at a time or choosing a new number. So that setting could have been messed up. This is the only thing I could think of other than if you've had mods in those previous saves try reapplying them. It may take a long time but uninstalling and reinstalling will reset settings and maybe fix this bug. I would do this as a last result because you may lose old saves permanently and it takes a while to re-download. I hope this helps.

Sounds likely caused by mods. IT's possible that a save cannot reload after a few game updates / mod updates due to some corruption or a mismatch in data - and therefore when creating a new game with the current versions it works correctly.

This is assuming the issues started after game update / mod updates.
You could search through each mods forum and see if any users reported similar issues recently.

You might be right. I updated improved ui and it seemed to start having issues after I did that. Though, when I tried to revert back to the older version, the issue persisted. I did commented about the issue on the mod page but no one else seemed to be having the same problem,

Improved UI is an override mod, so that can never break your saves, or at least, it didn't in my tests so far.... you using any other mods?

Yes, I have roughly 40. Most of which are for hairs, heads, and armor.
