Well this is something new. Whenever I try to load my 5 latest saves I get ctd. BUT if I load a previous save, then load any of the latest 5 it works..... DAFUQ? I also had some  problems with fnis lately but I am not sure if there is a connection. Has anyone else experience something like this ever?

It's a common bug that has been around since ages. 

A workaround is to enter something like "coc whiterun" in the mainmenu and let that load before you load your safe. 

 

Not sure if there was a fix for it. :/

Yes, all the time. Skyrim can have strange issues with loading, and this technique of loading one file and then a different one often works.

 

You will find many references in the forums to going 'coc qasmoke' from the console on the initial loading screen, which starts a dummy game in a dummy location. Let this dummy new game load all your mods, then load your real saved game.

 

Sometimes, if you do this and re-save, you will not have to do it again. Sometimes, using a save cleaner will help. But usually, once your save file gets to a certain level of messiness (and you are running enough mods) you may well have to do this every time you run Skyrim.

 

Under the hood, I imagine Bethesda was just very sloppy when they wrote the game-loading and esp-loading code all those years ago. There is little point trying to understand exactly why it happens with a particular save, or getting upset about it.

 

At least, that has been my experience.
