When I try to start a new character, my Health, Magicka, and Stamina are all at 10,000. I may as well be playing in God Mode.

I don't have many mods installed (most are just texture modifications or followers), and I've disabled the ones I thought might have something to do with this issue (Alternate Start, race menu...), but the problem persists. I could almost live with this annoyance if I could use the console to lower these stats to something reasonable, but I can't even find a way to do that.

At this point, I'm considering uninstalling and reloading everything, including the game itself. Please tell me I don't have to do that.

It would help to know what mods you have installed?

some examples of changing stats could be down to a custom character preset, a downloaded saved game, or a race changing mod

Yep, it would be a great help for the people here to look at a posted loadorder.

A picture that show a loadorder is not a good idea.

I'm also having trouble with mounted combat and autoloot (Convenient Horses), but that's another story.

By looking at your loadorder, I need to ask. Are you playing SSE and not SLE with that loadorder?

If you are playing SSE then you need to scrap everything and reinstall everything including the mods for SSE, because you can't use SKSE since http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1568922-wipz-skyrim-script-extender-skse/page-6#entry25255210 aren't available for the community and we need to wait for the SKSE-team to release a SKSE64 first.

These mods with that https://beta-community.bethesda.net/topic/5102/user-made-esm-files-get-marked-to-load-before-official-content indicates that you are playing SSE.

Skyrim.esm

ApachiiHair.esm (sorted wrong due to a loadorder bug)

Dragonborn.esm (sorted wrong due to a loadorder bug)

HearthFires.esm (sorted wrong due to a loadorder bug)

Dawnguard.esm (sorted wrong due to a loadorder bug)

Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp (does not work in SSE and you need to use the unofficial skyrim special edition patch aka http://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/topic/4637-relzwipz-unofficial-skyrim-special-edition-patch/)

HighRes Texture Pack03.esp (obsolete due for being included in SSE)

HighRes Texture Pack01.esp (obsolete due for being included in SSE)

HighRes Texture Pack02.esp (obsolete due for being included in SSE)

Also, most mods that were created for SLE must be loaded into the new CK and re-saved in order to work properly in SSE.
