Because Script mods do the most changing in the game, they are the most likely to cause major game play errors if they're broken or out of date. If the errors are gone, you know that one of your script mods is broken and needs to be fixed or updated.
Identifying the problematic mod can be as easy as deleting the last mod you've downloaded, if the problem cropped up after that.
