Which one of the two files are recommended for download? Does the patch work with Horizon 1.8.0? The non-scripts only file hasn't been updated since that version released.
So you're going to install the first file with a mod manager, then download the second one that was uploaded in 2020 manually. Extract the folder from the 2020 update and drop it in your Fallout 4/Data folder and overwrite when asked. That should be the most recent update for this patch
In my testing with 100+ mods enabled is doing fine. The latest update should at least reduce script load at the start by adding delay for each function.
TO fix the freezing on starting up, may I suggest to put a script execution delay in SMU to after you select ENOUGH and it continues to load the game, it waits 10seconds or so after the game is fully loaded as to give Horizon a chance to establish its scripts.
I pretty much get load freeze most times when using SMU with horizon.
UPDATE: In the end I couldn't find any mod that was causing this issue for me so concluded it must be Horizon and SMU, but I did resolve it I think (touch wood). What you do is load the game up into the shower scene WITHOUT SMU (and patch), then save the game after its done loading its scripts (gui text), quit, enable SMU and this patch, load back into the same game you saved, proceed. With a bit of luck that should work. I typically load into the shelter basement as its a interior with minimal performance impact which shouldn't hang any script.
If I don't do the above, basically 99 tries out of 100 result in a frozen load screen after the character creation part. I can even see the disk access drop to 0MB/s indefinitely.
NOTE: You may also need Horizon and the Patch at the bottom of your load order. There are further conflicts that could be resolved in FO4Edit so I recommend people learn howto use it and figure things out.
It be nice if Skcyte sometime can look into doing an adjustment to how SMU works, it should first just move player to location, wait for it to load, then apply scripts. I feel that would resolve most these issues because this problem would appear to be a script race issue (execution happening too soon)
