I just attempted disabling all mods that directly affect in-game experience. Mods I disabled were Unpack Bags, PillowSilencer, and, RoboMat's Lockpick Mod. Game works perfectly fine now. I'll try to narrow down the specific problematic mod and maybe we could contact the creator of the mod to be fixed??? Anyways thank you for your help, it's unfortunate I had to disable these mods, but oh well, at least I can start on an epic base
