Still not loading past 60%. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and reinstall. Thanks for your replies.

No no no, not reinstall the game, have time to do that.

Try something, go to the folder MODs, begins pulling folders, in order, every time you take one, try to see if you load the game, if it continues without charge, another and another, sooner or later, you find the causes trouble.
Remove it and get back to the other.
I do not think you take a lot of time, and is much better than reinstall everything.

At least that is my humble opinion
