Help Getting Witcher 3 to run with Mods

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I'm trying to get my game running and I'm desperate. If you have suggestions on a better place to post, please let me know!


Alright, looking for help getting Witcher 3 running! I have the Steam “Game of the Year” bundle updated to 1.31 installed on the default C:// drive location. When I try to run the game it will either:
  1. Not launch the main game and launch a secondary process which I can see on task manager that apparently does nothing (other than prevent me from clicking to relaunch game—game is already running!)
  2. Launch the game, let me start a new game with all DLC, and absolutely not let me load the game once I’ve watched the unskippable intro. It loads and tells me facts infinitely.
I’ve downloaded script merger and it doesn’t show any conflicts. I’ve done my best to follow the mod install instructions very thoroughly and look for possible conflicts, as well as to get the right version of the mod based off of my current mods and setup. Here are some things I’ve tried:
Restarting PC, checking integrity of Steam game, deleting (or moving) the patch 0 folder, removing dxgi.dll, removing redscripts files, double-checking to make sure I followed all mod install instructions, making sure that any conflicting or unused mods were removed completely, repairing and uninstall/reinstall of vcredist_x64.exe and x84.exe (I have a 64 bit Windows 10 OS), updating NVDIA 1060 graphics card drivers, created an exception for the Steam Launcher and for Witcher 3 in my Avast Antivirus, and helpless begging. My best results end in situation 2 but most often I can’t even get the game to launch fully.

Specs:
OS- Windows 10 Home, 64-bit OS, x64-based processor
Grapics Card- NVIDIA GeGorce GTX 1060
Processor- Intel ®Core™i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
RAM- 16.0 GB (15.9 usable) 256GB SSD 1TB HDD
Make- MSI 17.3” GE72VR Apache Pro-009 Intel Core i7 6700HQ


Here’s a list of my mods. The italicised ones were installed through NMM but some of them had to be manually installed. I’ve also modified my user.settings to allow the debug console (though it didn't run with the debug console disabled either).

EDIT: Thanks everyone. It was a mod limit issue! I resolved it with Mod Merger. I played for a while but I'm having an issue with randomly spawning vampires. I'm level 4 and they are level 40. Multiple advanced vampires in Velen have made the game unplayable in a new way. TT-TT

Moving this to Mod Discussions, let's see if that would be a better place to start looking for help.
 
These are classic symptoms of having too many mods. It seems you've exceeded the mod limit there bud!
There are two things you can do:
1. Throw out some mods until the game launches and works.
2. Download Mod Merger and merge those mods!
