I'm not sure if this should go here, since this is just my second post on this site, but I'll keep this short. I'll hit play, the loading menu appears, but once it reaches 100%, the game will crash and a paradox error reporter will pop up. I'm using mods, but it's a fresh install after I unsubbed to all of my previous mods. I checked the error logs and I have several lines saying "Could not find files for mod: C:\Games\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\xxxxxxxxxx", with the x being a ten digit number.
The ten digit number after 281990 lead to several mods on the steam workshop I had thought were fine, but the error log doesn't tell me anything else other than "could not find files for mod." These include some big mods like planetary diversity. I've verified the game files, everything was fine. I still got the same error logs, even after I did a complete reinstall,
Is this due to a mod incompatibility or an out of date mod? Either way, what can I do to fix this? The game is unplayable right now.
 
This will reset your mod settings completely.
  1. Quit Stellaris and Stellaris (Paradox) Launcher
  2. Unsubscribe from all mods. Stellaris Workshop -> Your files (under your avatar) -> Subscribed items - > Unsubscribe From All .
  3. Quit Steam
  4. Go to SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\281990 and delete everything.
  5. Go to (C:\Users\%username%\)Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellarisand delete the following files:
    1. dlc_load.json
    2. game_data.json
    3. launcher-v2.sqlite
    4. mods_registry.json
    5. everything inside last_mods={ } in settings.txt
  6. Restart Steam.
  7. Open Paradox launcher.
  8. Close Paradox launcher.
  9. Resubscribe to your mods.
  10. WAIT UNTIL ALL DOWNLOADS ARE DONE. DO NOT START PARADOX LAUNCHER UNTIL DOWNLOADS ARE COMPLETE.
  11. Start Paradox Launcher.
  12. Close Paradox launcher.
  13. Download Irony Mod Manager and never use Paradox Launcher again. Easily order and swap mods in and out, change collections easily, share load orders with copy-paste or export/import, resolve conflicts (wiki).
EDIT:
Additional troubleshooting below.

Also make sure your antivirus is not blocking the launcher, your OneDrive neither ran out space or is disconnected if you are using it (you might not know that you are)(edited)

If you have a mod both as a local and as a workshop subscription game will refuse to load it. Remove or move one, including root Stellaris/mod/.mod file

If you are using Irony Mod Manager do not fire Conflict Solver unless you intend to use it. Conflict Solver creates list of conflicts and generates overwrites for each one based on your load order. So if you change mod composition of a collection or load order you have to rerun conflict solver each time (alternatively delete patch folder in /Stellaris/mod/)
You can purge Irony settings stored in .roaming/Mario/ if you ever need to

Secondary minor issue
This completely fixed the issues I was having! Much appreciated.
Though I'm still having the same problem that led to me reinstalling all my mods in the first place. While not game breaking, for some reason, some planetary moons are spawning clipping into their orbiting planet, or the moon is way too big in comparison to it's orbiting planet. I can't find anything out about this anywhere, and I don't know what's causing it. If this should be a separate post, though, let me know.

You have Real Space and mods which add planets and/or systems with different scale, most probably Planetary Diversity. This happens even with core Real Space without system scale.

I've got both of those, so is there any fix or do I just need to remove one?
There might be a compatibility path, but even then it is not guaranteed to completely remove this visual bug. This is the price you pay for changing planet scales with Real Space.
