Does it have this same issue on a new game with no mods? Just removing a mod and loading the save will not always work and if the save is corrupted by a mod issue, then you can have these problems even without the mods.
And, are you sure you removed all the mods? If you are using Wrye Bash, and if your using mods, you need to, then you need to remove the Installers along with the Mods in Wrye Bash.
