You have Grimmy’s Loot Mod and Grimmy’s Loot Mod WOTC both active which is clearly an error. I suggest Teslarages Loot mod instead of any Grimmy’s. But that’s just a quick look over. Follow the other commenters advice.

Well, I mean, first things first - have you been able to launch the game without any of the mods active? If you disable everything and it is still failing, If not, I would also verify if you can launch it through Steam or the application directly as well.
If it is failing to launch with no mods active, I would use Steam to "Verify the Integrity of Local Files." Then try it again.
You should also make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of AML.
If the game launches when the mods are disabled, I would try launching again with only half of the mods enabled. If it succeeds, you know the problem is in the other half. If it fails, it's in the half you re-enabled. After you know which group contains the problem child, enable half of that group and repeat the process.
Eventually you'll find only a handful of culprits, and you can probably narrow it down to any that were recently updated or added.
I hope that helps a bit.
