It can often end up being something so small and insignificant that it really is helpful to try playing for a test run for an hour or so with no CC. Then adding a few items, and a few more. I try less than the 50 / 50 method, but that is just me.
A few years ago I also was angry and frustrated with the game because whenever I went to a community lot, my game would crash after three or four minutes. You could almost set your watch by it. I took out all my CC to play for a while and it stopped. I added back bits at a time, played with no issues, took that lot out, and added another group to test, and so on, and found that nothing was giving me issues. But when I put it all back in together, it started happening again.
It turned out, that it was custom foods that were crashing my game, and I suspect that it was the unlocked Bon Voyage food mod, that enables you to make BV food at home, that was doing it, when NPC Sims tried to order food at community lots. No one else seemed to be having this problem, just me. To this day, I still can't use custom foods in my game because my community lots crash. I don't know why my game hates them, it just does. When I took my food mods out ( and I only had about 4 ) the crashing stopped.
I have just accepted that it can sometimes just be an individual install problem, alongside other CC components you have installed. You just have to go the hard yard, and find out what works best for your own game by testing everything. Don't overfill your game with CC, be discerning about what you download. Always read the comments on downloads to see if anyone has ever had issues in their game from using what you want to download. If they have, I avoid it, but again, that is just me.
