Full disclosure: I run a modded game.

I can't open the camp chest - the animation plays but the chest inventory screen does not open.

I tried closing the game and re-opening it, quicksave and quickload, other characters, reloading older saves, and changing camps - nothing works.

I have two suspects:

I have a ridiculous amount of inventory, probably literally hundreds of thousands of items. So inventory might have broken down. But older saves where I know the camp chest worked no longer work.

The other suspect is patch 6 - the camp chest was working, I took about a month break, during which patch 6 dropped, and now that I am back to playing the chest is broken. No mods have changed, but since patch 6 hit I am getting a data type mismatch warning.

I know the official answer is 'uninstall the mods', but I am hoping someone has an alternative, and I have no idea what mods are problematic - nothing I have changes the camp chest or general inventory options.

Help?
