CTD adding ANY addons

I am currently experiencing an issue where I am getting a CTD whenever I try to launch my game with any addon packs for SS2.
Background: I currently have 300 something (I can check exact number later) active mods, most of which are .ESL or ESL flagged, so I am very much under the 255 ESP mod limit.
I just tried starting a new game, however I haven’t been able to due to the fact that my game has been crashing whenever I click start new game.
I have spent the last 3-4 days troubleshooting my load order is almost every way possible and I have come to this current conclusion:
I am able to start a new game just fine with all of my mods active, and JUST the main SS2 mod active. However, as soon as I active ANY add on pack, I get a crash during the new game loading screen. If I active ALL of my addons, I get a crash as the game is booting up.
I have tested the following theories to no avail:
ESP limit (I flagged another mod as ESL then activated one addon, crashed during new game loading)
BA2 amount limit: yes I’ve hit a crash resulting from too many BA2s before (I then exacted another mod BA2s then added one addon, crash. I also attempted to describe the addons and activated a different mod with BA2s and it worked.
I also tried extracting the addon pack BA2 and deleting the BA2 from the file: crash)
I’ve deactivated over half my mod list and it still crashed when an addon is activated.
I then concluded the mod must be corrupted somehow, so I reinstalled ALL addon packs AND The main SS2 mod as well: crashed when activating ANY of the addon packs if even one was active.
Overall final conclusion: I have narrowed down my entire load order to SS2 addon packs, and cannot start a new game with any of them active.
Does anyone have any theories? I can post my load order when I get home if necessary.
I selected a clean profile in MO2 And activated only SS2 and all addon packs (and necessary requirements) and it started up just fine.
I don’t know if it might be related to some setting in the profile that is causing the crashes or if it’s a conflict, but I don’t necessarily want to deactive my entire load order or reactive my entire load order in a new profile to test just yet.
If anyone has any ideas, I’d greatly appreciate any advice
 
I actually just figured it out this morning.
I gave up for a little while, and when I came back to it, I was readjusting my load order and realized I didn’t have the F4SE address library checked. After checking that off, I was able to start up just fine with all of my mods.
I don’t know why this was the case though considering none of the addons require that address library addon, but it worked, so I assume it’s something more to do with F4SE than it is with ss2
