Mod causing game to glitch.
Ok so i got some cosmetic mods, you know the usual (faces of faerun, Tav's hairsalon, astarions wardrobe, etc.) And the only gameplay effecting mod be8ng party limit begone. (I dont like the fact that your limited to 4 people, your all working to get rid of the tadpole everyone should be there so we work as a team.)
When patch 6 came out steam glitched out, and i mean glitched out! It said it was 103 gigabytes, everytime i paused or lost Internet connection for whatever reason it restarted 8t was hell but 8 finally got patch 6 downloaded.
I open the game and im greeted with both my save files saying not found. And while the game loaded all the charaters names everything had just turned into not found. And 8t was fine when i was walking around but the sec i interacted with anything the game would crash.
So i deleted the script extender mod and the mod manager (im assuming all my mods went with the mod manager.)
So i load up the game and all my mods are still there and still crashing...
Right now ive unistalled the game and im hoping re installing will solve my problem.
Does anyone have any advice.
I lost both of my save files and i was the end of act 3 with one and starting act 2 with the other so im bummed but i just want the game back i will happily seduce astarion a third time lol.

It is the risk with mods. They can cause a multitude of odd behaviour.
(There is a reason why many folks tell others that if you want to mod at least learn the basic rules, like not autoupdating. Because if you take the risk without knowing about it you will have no ways to mitigate them.)

Here are a number of guides:

Again with mods. You deleted and removed them to the best of your abilities, but that does not mean they are gone. They may have caused some lingering effects with your game, and even if you reinstall those may persists. Among the guides listed there is a way to completely remove mods. Use it. That way you should return to the vanila game. Also use the advice on how to do a clean install of the game.
Once done you should try to run your game.

As additional advice, you should backup your saves if they still exist in the folder, as it is possible they may be recognized. If i recall well there is also a guide among the ones i listed on how to reclaim lost saves.

As the final advice i can suggest you to contact Larian support, as there is no support from Larian on Steam.(First sticky post.)

(And finally next time you have an issue, try to keep it short, to the point and describe certain things, like GPU,OS, CPU as well.:P)
