Yeah that's the thing with a patch like this, there's a huge chance some mod creators have been busy with IRL stuff and won't ever update their mods to patch 7. Best you can do is either try out the patch 6 beta through the steam option, or wait and hope all the mods you installed get updated to patch 7.
I'm in a similar boat and haven't been able to make a new character due to issues with the in game mod loader itself, but it seems to be a common issue so it should be fixed soon hopefully!
