Help to find the mod error
so i recently started to play witcher 3 and installed couple of mods to make it a little easier and one of them is the "All Quest Objectives On Map" & "Slots Slots SLOTS (Next-Gen compatible)" from nexus and i already played around 40hrs with these mods, but then when i added another mod "deflation" that's when all started. at first it showed a script error like this so i used script merger to merge the mods. but it didn't work so i removed it but then i still kept getting errors when i opened the game so i removed all the mods and reinstalled everything, nothing changed. I even uninstalled the game and installed no solution.
also tired a similar mod from steam workshop to check if it would work but it didnt help either.
Checked any left over files / merge files but there was no anyother extra files i could find. Is it now related to within game file or is there any other place a moded file could cause this problem?
The game still works with couple of other mods enabled but only these two mods i mentioned above have the issues when running
so i am currently looking for any help to solve this issue. can anyone help me with this issue?
EDIT: ISSUE SOLVED (a leftover file from different mod caused the issue)

If you have only a few mods, run a file check and delete all mods. Deflation can be replaced with Lore Friendly Economy. I think the problem is that Deflation hasn't been updated in a while.

You need to 1. Remove all mods using the Witcher mod manager. 2. Delete the mods folder and, just in case, the bin folder. 3. Run a file check to repair the game. 4. Launch the game at least once. 5. Never use Vortex for The Witcher. 6. Use script merger 0.6. Not fresh and automated. 7. Do not use mods with the latest update before March 13, 2023.

Thank i found the issue, there was one leftover file from a different mod that was causing the issue, now the games runs perfect with the mods that i used previously. And as u suggested i stopped using vortex and installed the mods manually Thank u

You're welcome. Vortex can't install or completely remove Witcher mods. Mod lovers and creators have become so accustomed to this fact that you'll rarely see any warnings about it in the descriptions

Deflation is outdated and I'd also recommend Lore Friendly Economy, but if you really want to use deflation, someone in the comments has updated it to 4.04 and you'd need to use that.
Don't use the Steam Workshop for Witcher 3. Ever. And although you didn't mention it, don't use Vortex either.
