Game freezing, not saving, and then crashing. New Event

Hiya!

Upon my first time playing the new nature event, my game now freezes after a few minutes of gameplay, refuses to save, and then crashes each time. I have never had this problem before, and it seems to have started since the launch of this new event. 

I have updated my graphics drivers, cleared cache folders, and repaired the game multiple times. 

I am now lost, and I cannot play my game. I have a huge legacy save (which is now backed up) and I'm very worried I will lose it.

Please help,

Many thanks!

    Move your mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. 
    Never run events in a legacy save.

    Hiya, thanks for your quick reply. I have now done this, and it has not fixed the problem. 

    I have never had problems with events or anything in legacy saves :(
