Game Randomly Freezes/Stops Responding but doesnt crash (PC)

So since the last update I've had a problem where the game will randomly freeze with seemingly no reason/common cause based on what I was doing in the game at the time and task manager shows that TS4 is "Not REsponding". This has happened to me after only 10 minutes of gameplay and also as long as over four hours of gameplay. I have the latest graphics driver etc. I do use mods, but I've updated everything and remvoed all new mods from after the patch as well as incompatible mods found by Better Exceptions. I'm really at a loss for what is going on, I don't even get an exception or crash file either.

    Update: I noticed that during several of these incidents that if I tried opening the Nvidia game overlay I would get a pop-up message that the Nvidia app was not responding with the option to close or restart (unlike TS4). So I disabled the overlay entirely through the Nvidia app and then relaunched TS4, but this time about a minute into gameplay TS4 crashed to desktop instead of the not responding. Right before CTD windows task manager listed TS4 as "Suspended" instead of the previous times "Not Responding".

    I've also attempted to attache the lastCrash file generated from this. But I've had trouble seeing that it actually uplouded when I posted this comment so I've also added the file to GoogleDrive with the following link to it: GoogleDrive LastCrash.txt
