Question For the love of God help

Newbie warning
So recently transitioned from xbox to a high end pc. So I'm brand new to the modding world.

I got fallout 4 and am using the in-game mod menu (bethesdas mods) since nexus still seems intimidating and bethesda mods seem to have all I want anyways.

So I was able to get 20 hours out of my original playthrough with regular 3 in 1 sim settlements, modern firearms, and about 7 other minor mods just fine with no major crashes or issues. Had one ctd the entire game but that was 17 hr mark and figured it was just the game. Since I was able to use up all my companions I have so far and had no problems with city sizes (ultra graphics with no dips in frames) I decided to try out conqueror. Put it last in my load order and started a brand new pre built game and let it do it's pre-install inside the vault and everything. Can get roughly 4-5 hours then get a plague of nonstop crash to desktop and I can't for the life of my find the solution. Is it bethesdas mods? The load order? Am I just stupid? It blows my minds because I see posts of people having 200+ mods and still using all the add ons and yet here I am 11 mods or so and can't get past the castle lol. I tried chilling in diamond city to let scripts load and crashes waiting, reduced graphics to high even in performance in holotape, but most solutions seem to be for nexus. I tried INI solutions but maybe made the notepad incorrectly since there was no previous file? Idk. Any solutions would be amazing as this is literally the only reason I bought fo4 again.

(LOAD ORDER IN BETHESDAS MODS)
Unofficial Fo4 Patch
Sim Settlements Three in One
Workshop Framework
Atomic Radio
Cheat Terminal
Settlement Limits Slashed
PC Militarized Minutemen
Sim Settlements Conqueror
Sim Settlements Nobody's Leader
Modern Firearms

Sim Settlements 3 in 1 and Workshop doesn't seem to like to move under the 3rd slot of the load order.

Someone smarter than me pleaseeee help

load order seems fine.

How many pre built cities did you choose? Having to many can still cause issues on some PCs
you may need this mod Baka ScrapHeap - Script Memory Limit Expander at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community
But it need Fallout 4 script extender which is a off site mod.

I use nexus Vortex mod manager without issue VORTEX - Beginner's Guide #1 : Getting Started - YouTube
VORTEX - Beginner's Guide #2 : Installing Mods - YouTube

FALLOUT 4 Script Extender (F4SE) - Tutorial - YouTube

Thank you for the response!

I'm running a i7 9000f on a 2060 super so picked the default settings for the holotape as I figured it should handle it. Maybe too many pre-built cities could be the culprit after all.

Would you recommend deleting the mods I've got from bethesdas mods and just transition all the downloads to nexus instead? And is that as simple as a delete/reinstall for mods or a new save? Or are the two sites compatible with each other?

I'll give nexus a shot to get those script extenders and try reducing the amount of cities.

I appreciate your help!

You should be able to use both beth and vortex at teh same time but i wud go full vortex on a new save just in case something goes wrong with ur current save. All those mods should be on nexus as well

Dont go to crazy with adding every mod u see tho ,can lead to diaster :P i hav broken many save by adding to many at once lol , just read everything on teh mod page including teh bug section and if you are unsure about a mod there are many people on the SS forums who may be able to help as well

Place everywhere is a safe to use mod that needs F4SE but avoid Scrap everything as that one can impact performance
