Hi there,

I installed the new patch this evening and immediately ran into these issues:

1) Upon attempting to load my most recent save, a box popped up saying something about content being no longer available and that it would not be loaded.

2) After getting into the game, I attempted to raise my sword and shield but nothing happened

3) I looked at my inventory and all my weapons were gone. My armor was still present, but as noted before I could not bring my shield to bare, nor my fists, much less attack anything.

4) I tried to fast travel to one of my Hearthfire houses, but all three are gone from the map. I fast traveled to a nearby location, but my house had entrirely disappeared.

Well that's about it. Any suggestions?

Sounds like Harthfire got disabled somehow. Those are all symptoms of disabeling a mod (And DLCs)

As for the sword and shield thing, you will have to be a bit more descriptive.
