Hitting an enemy with a weapon causes CTD

[FourArmBoi7]

I actually found the solution to this issue as I was writing this, but maybe it can help somebody else that's having the same problem. I fixed it by moving "Weapons Armor Clothing & Clutter Fixes.esp" to the end of my load order.

 

The game has a high chance of crashing to desktop when I hit an enemy with a melee weapon. Hitting an enemy with arrows or spells is fine, and the crash doesn't happen when npcs do it. It also doesn't happen if I just swing my melee weapon, only if it actually hits an enemy. 

 

My load order as copied from LOOT:

I tried:

 

* Removing unattached instances and undefined elements from my save file using FallrimTools

* Using Save Cleaner, which apparently cleans the cells

* Sorting my load order using LOOT

* Cleaning the Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, Dragonborn.esm, and Hearthfire.esm plugins using SSEEdit's quick auto clean (these were the only plugins that LOOT had warnings on)

* Reinstalling XPMSSE and having it overwrite all other mods

* Uninstalling Pretty Combat Animations SSE to see if that was the issue

* Running FNIS to see if it was caused by unregistered animations

 

Also LOOT is giving me a warning saying that WACCF_BashedPatchLvlListFix.esp requires Wyre Bash or Smash, but I'm not sure if that's relevant.

I also noticed in Nexus Mod Manager that "Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes - CBBE Patch" and "SSE Engine Fixes (skse plugin) - (Part 1) Engine fixes" keep getting disabled somehow. I'm not sure if one of the tools I'm using like LOOT are doing this because it detects a conflict or something, but enabling/disabling these mods doesn't fix the crash.
