Can't load a hotseat game with mods?

[SaucyJ]

My wife and I decided to play a hotseat game with the following mods active:
- Better Trade Screen
- City-State Types Pack
- End Game Civic
- Fish Farms
- Gold Resource
- Good Goody Huts
- JFD's Rule with Faith
- More Lenses
- Mutually Exclusive Removal
- Resourceful
- Sukritact's Fuji
- Sukritact's Tonle Sap
- Tundra Farms
- Yet (not) Another Maps Pack

We played about 60 turns and then saved because it was getting late. When we tried loading the game the next day, (Multiplayer > Hot Seat > Load Game > our game) it took us to the staging room showing the two of us and the 4 AI leaders. Upon clicking "Start Game" it took us to the black "Loading, please wait" screen for maybe five seconds, and then kicked us back to the main screen. What's going on, and how can it be fixed so my wife and I can resume our hotseat game?

the game had a bug which resulted in the load order of mods to be different when launching a new game or loading a saved game. Seems that it's still here.

as the load order is very important for mods compatibility, it may break a saved game.

I don't see an easy way to fix your save, it would involve looking at the modding.log and database.log to find which mod(s) are incompatible in the new load order and edit the .modinfos of those mods to set a load order manually.

edit: or maybe a mod was updated between your two sessions, some updates can also break saved games..
