subunit

Hi folks. I recently picked up SH4 and I have been finding the mod community to be amazing- I can finally build the subsim I always wanted to play! One really strange thing has been happening, though, which is that a saved game that looks like this the first time I load it:

Looks like this the next time I try to load it:

Might be hard to see, but note the following:
-contact has disappeared
-all drawing on the map has disappeared
-it's now day (!!!) despite time not changing (00:22 if its not legible)
-course has been altered
This is annoying, although it's not critical, because when I quit out of the game, start the program again, and load the save, everything's back to normal... until the next time I try to load, when I have to exit/enter again. This adds like ~3 min to the loading time, which is annoying because I'm just starting out so I've been savescumming a lot to see how well different strategies work in particular situations.
These are the mods I'm running:

I poked around here a bit and based on some other threads thought it might be "mod soup". Tried the recommended "mod soup" cleanup procedure, which had no effect. I figured because I had been using RFB earlier that there might have been some weirdness going on there, so I ended up completely uninstalling SH4, cleaning up & compacting registry, deleting the mods folder, redowloading all the mods I was using, and reinstalling them. That didn't help either, so I'm not sure where to go from here- maybe try uninstalling each mod one at a time and seeing if the problem persists? Would appreciate any advice!!
