Skyrim wont start after installing mods

[Lord Cronus]

so at first i watched many videos about how to install them with the nexus mod manager but if i only install one simple mod my game wont start, it also doesnt deppend on which mod. So it doesn't matter if i install a Follower or a Graphics Mod, it doesn't start.
The plugins are going to start in the right line so at first the Skyrim.esm, Update.esm .... then the Unofficial Skyrim Specail Editon Patch.esp and then the rest
I've added the line bEnableFileSelection=1 into the SkyrimPrefs file but it didnt change.

I also saw something about starting Skyrim without Steam could help but it looks like i can't do that or start with the SkyrimSE.exe except the Launcher but after i click the SkyrimSE.exe the Launcher comes up anyways.

well this thread is my last hope cuz then i have no clue what else i should try

NMM is no longer supported, most people have moved onto Vortex or MO2, there are guides to both of these in Helpful Hints and References thread by smr (pinned at the top).

Are you trying to load a save that was made while using the mod?, because data from mods is baked into the saves, and if you remove the mod you need to start a fresh game.

[Nope]

For mods, get this setup before doing anything: SKSE, Unofficial patch, SkyUI
For ENB, install the latest one in the enb page, unless the preset say otherwise
Also post your mods list

Ok, we are going to need to see your load order, if you have LOOT there is a symbol that looks like three dots, this allows you to copy your load order and paste it here.

If you don't have LOOT:
LOOT
https://loot.github.io/

1. When you open LOOT it will first check for master list and version updates. This does not sort your load order yet.
   
   
2. Click "Sort Plugins" button. It appears as a 3 lines in top right corner of LOOT window. This will now sort your load order.
   
   
3. After LOOT is done, the "Sort Plugins" changes to text button saying "APPLY". Click the button to accept changes made to your load order.

No if i start a game with the Mod "installed" it counts as unmodded in my saves

Ok, I can't see anything wrong there.
Only thing left that I can think of is to block or shut down your internet while you start up skyrim, which sounds daft but works for some people.

[Nope]

First don't use NMM, either use Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 (recommend the later)
Second, did your game launch normally without mods?
Third, have you install SKSE? (there are 3 version, make sure you install the SE one), if you have make sure you launch skyrim through skse.exe, and racemenu is needed it to work

And, especially if you intend to add more mods, you absolutely must read these and do all they tell you to do:

First, uninstall your mods, then uninstall NMM. Next follow this guide to make Skyrim vanilla...
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/312265589446940121/

Now, start the game and run it through Helgen cave, make a hard save and back it up. This will give us a baseline and a save we can safely add mods to. Some mods will cause the beginning of the game to bug out and even ctd, but the mods you listed should start fine on a new game, so your issue may be elsewhere.

Once outside the cave with the game working install the mod manager of your choice, I prefer MO2. Next install Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. Test the game with the save you have from outside the cave. If it works then check back in here and we will get SKSE, Racemenu and Alternate Start installed.

I already tryed using Vortex but it was the same.
Yes, as said if i only try to install one mod it doesn't work anymore.
And yes i have installed SKSE, also the SkyrimSE version

I'm gonna reinstall Skyrim once again to get a clean version and then im gonna try it with MO2

- well i also tryed it now with MO2 and also checked everything but steam still says that the game is starting, then synchronize and then nothing happens

I also tryed it with the vanilla Skyrim but still the same

if i launch skyrim with the skse file it also doesn't work. It works if i don't have mods installed but with mods it won't
