Experienced Modders: Any Advice for CTDs? (crash to desktop errors)?

[Sizzlenuts 84]

Hello everyone!

I'm just starting this topic to see if anyone who's had any CTD errors in the past (not entirely related to LSPDFR) have found what common issues can cause this. I have a relatively highly modified mods folder installed that I've accumulated over the last year or so(30+ cars installed, LA billboards, LA landmarks) and now I'm experiencing a CTD (either 30 mins in or an hour in) whenever I play whether I am playing single player or LSPDFR. After checking my rage logs I'm fairly certain it's not LSPDFR. I'm pretty sure it's a mod I installed, whether it be a certain vehicle causing the crash or even some LA related visuals (realistic police depts, venice beach mod, etc). So my question to all of you guys is there an easier way to pinpoint what could be causing crashes, whether it be reading the rage log file or the openiv.log. I'm dreading having to do a process of elimination because every time I wanna test it I'll have to play for an hour or so and see if I get a crash. I know I generate a rage crash report every time I get a crash but I'm not able to read the huge log it creates and have it tell me what the issue is. Any suggestions on what to look for or what common problems you guys have run into in the past? I know a taxi mod I installed in the past caused a CTD error but since then I've installed a new taxi. Any help or any advice is much appreciated!

It is going to happen. It is always going to happen.

So it's unavoidable? I guess it's just a matter of when it'll crash and not if? I mean I think I have it somewhat narrowed down to the facebook building replacing the lifeinvader building. Seems to happen when I'm around there, the thing that confuses me is how it doesn't happen 100% of the time I'm in that area but lately more often. Wish there was some sort of way to track down the specific issue with desktop crashes instead of having to go through every single mod.

Mods=crash PC equals crash. Period.
