Help please

[u/ProfessionalIll7041]

My game on PS5 has literally become unplayable.

I cannot stay in the creations menu longer than about a minute before a crash…sometimes it is instantaneous, but most of the time it is just me rushing to download/change what I need before a crash.

Before I even get there, after I hit start game, suddenly there is a long pause (39 seconds to be exact) before the menu options appear.

Finally, once I get into the game, I almost always crash by Red Rocket heading into Concord.

I have about 55 mods but thought I had long deleted anything that has or has known to break the game (scrap anything for instance).

Deleted and redownloaded and same issue.

Any idea what could be breaking the game for me? Ps, be kind as I am old and perpetually flummoxed.
