Hi fox-spooky-mulder0 - there is a great amount of information here, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and confirm you’ve seen the same problem - even though you now have the bigger difference in your own save.
I shall add a copy of this information to my report for the team. Thanks for including some of the potentially unintended actions too. I don’t think these would have a huge affect but you never know! It’s definately good to include them 
Would it be possible to get a copy of your save too? I think save like yours could help the team in testing this issue as you have managed to reproduce the crashes in the past. If you’re happy to do so, the instructions are here: [Save File Request]
Thank you once again for all this info!
