Any amount of help would be appreciated, I've trying complete resets, reinstalling and gutting of the mod folder but nothing so far.

Unsubscribe and then delete all the mods.
Another person said that they fixed the issue by disabling steam cloud and then fully reinstalling the game, try that?

[Mr.Guilty]

Ill give it a shot, thanks for getting back so quick
