Which city plans to avoid? (Modded PC)

I'd like to ask for some advice on which settlements to avoid, if you are running a very extensive modlist. Previously I ran into CTDs with sanctuary lvl 2 and I couldn't restore functionality despite all efforts (I ended up reverting and making city upgrades manual - how does that work once ready?).

I can post my modlist if you are curious, maybe there are some conflicts, but it works decently for me and I highly suspect sanctuary was just too much to handle.

PC specs: i7 6700k, 1080, 16gb ram - game saved on raid0 HDD system (don't want to fill my m.2 overkill raid0 xP).
 
Sanctuary is the worst offender.

The others that are high on our radar are: Outpost Zimonja, Sunshine Tidings, Starlight Drive-in, Jamaica Plain, and Finch Farm.

Part of me thinks the 1080 is at fault. I have two gaming computers, and my 1080 machine crashes frequently with SS, whereas my 970 can run all of the settlement levels with full detail. Many people on super high-end machines have experienced the same thing.

I recommend to anyone who experiences a corrupt save to turn off Clutter under performance options. Going over the build limit by too much is my best theory for the cause of the problem and clutter makes up a fair bit of that. Once we get the big Optimized patch complete, I'll be able to check my theory as we can start monitoring for more of these issues from folks using the builds that aren't so over-the-top.
