I cannot quick load my saves, when I press f5 it works just fine but when I want to load a saves, the top just says hold f9 to load last save and nothing happens, please help!

Welcome to the forum @Feellikeapple!
F5 for quicksave is instant, you need to hold F9 for 3 or 4 seconds before it will load.

Yeah, I pressed it for like 20 seconds and nothing happens

If you press escape/open the load dialogue do you see a quicksave there?

No

Okay, that's definitely an issue. If you have loaded any new mods before you saw try uninstalling (making a backup of your save file first) and see if the issue persists.

If not then it would be really helpful for our knowledgeable members if you could link to your log files (it can cause problems for the forum if you post them directly here so please use a hosting service like google drive or dropbox to upload them and link to them here). This post explains how to do this:

Uhh you can hit escape and load the quick save from the load menu in case you missed it.

F9 is wonky...sometimes it doesn't work....just press escape->load and select the ''quicksave'', its the one thats created with the F5 hotkey.

Also make sure you backup your saves but thats just a general tip.
