I experience the same thing, but found no solution :(

Downgrade to the latest version of 1.2 you wont have these issues. Just wait until the Developer updates his mods gonna take some time since he has a lot of them.

Which mods in the list haven't been updated for 1.3??? I've been searching and can't find them

I have the same issue
debug log: https://pastebin.com/wuCLgb4j

edit:
removing VFE - settlers fixed this for me.

i had a similar issue but only when pawns equip VAE power armor or equip anything in the apparel utility slot i get the error "Ranged Shield Belt Has Invalid Slot" removing SRTS fixed it for some reason lmao

Comments from the Beards mod page are that all the beards from the mod are now in the vanilla game, making the mod unecessary for 1.3 onwards. They're keeping it in the VE collection for legacy purposes for people on older versions of the game, but it won't be tagged for 1.3 or updated further.

I dont know what causes it and sometimes it happens but rimthreaded is causing it for me
