NG+ Causes crash at startup

[vagrant widget]

• Trying to make a new game + causes a unreal engine crash log to occur. Beginning a new save regularly is possible.
• Reproduction Steps: I was attempting to come back to the game after being away for awhile and thought I would start a NG+. I took one of the files from the discord and added it to my appdata folder, game asks if I want to make a NG+, and then after making my character it crashes before the intro cutscene.
• Repro Rate: Every time. I uninstalled the new mods I had just installed, checked my pc hardware, verified the game files, uninstalled/reinstalled, restarted the computer, and checked my antivirus software.
