Issue with Custom Companions not loading?
*Update* I fixed it! explanation added at the end.
Can somebody help please? Most of my mods won't load for some reason and I can't figure out how to fix it, all it's saying is that Ridgeside Village seems to be installed incorrectly. I've been playing with RSV downloaded for a couple months and this is a new problem, it's only that now the log is saying that Custom Companions is missing despite it being downloaded? I was literally playing yesterday and it was fine, the only change was that I downloaded a custom farm animals mod and a fashion sense accessory but I've deleted both and still get the missing Custom Companions error.
I've tried deleting and redownloading Custom Companions a couple times, both deleting and redownloading through stardrop and by manual install, it still makes no difference. I've tried deleting the two Ridgeside Village things that the log says are the ones that won't load and replacing them, still getting the errors. I've tried deleting and redownloading Ridgeside Village entirely and that also doesn't change anything.
I'm just really confused, the log wasn't saying anything else is an issue, just custom companions, but most of my other mods won't load now? I hadn't actually loaded a save file before when testing possible fixes because I was getting the Ridgeside Village installed incorrectly message immediately and the only issue the log was saying was that Custom Companions. But I loaded a save file to see if there was an issue with anything else (was this dumb? I don't know, I'm pretty new to modding and don't know anything about code). But now the log is warning about "ignored unknown locations", of I think all the SVE and RSV custom assets, in the save data?
In terms of other mods, Morris Redeemed and NPC Map Locations both seem to still be working but nothing else seems to, Fashion Sense isn't working and Stardew Valley Expanded isn't loading either, all that's happening is that there's the red no texture symbol where things like new trees from SVE should be. I've also got a custom farm building mod that isn't working, it's from the same person that the custom farm animals mod was and it was working fine yesterday.
Hopefully this is all helpful information, sorry if it's a lot. Can somebody please help though? I'm very confused about what's gone wrong, I'm really worried that I've broken something and made things worse while trying to fix it. Is my best bet to just delete all my mods and redownload everything or would that make everything worse? This is very confusing and while I've found a couple other people having the same initial problem with custom companions there's been no responses for how to fix it.

*Update* I managed to fix it and get the mods working again, I ended up deleting all of my mods, Stardrop, and reinstalling SMAPI. Because I deleted and redownloaded everything I'm not one hundred percent positive what the issue was but I think it was that Stardrop was for some reason adding some mods into the general game files folder rather than into the specific mods folder. I don't know why or how this happened but I noticed it while manually deleting and adding all the mods back in.
