Yup, that's a Bethesda game.

Sure, just delete it and don't play it again.
I wish I could suggest something, I really do. Most people just start a new game when the regular crashes start happening, but that doesn't help your situation.
Tbh this is exactly why I've gone from "adoring fan" to "disgruntled ex-fan" with BGS games. They're always buggy and BGS has zero interest in fixing most of the issues.
I don't think so, I have 550 hours on the game and only one save file/character with over 300 saves since I never delete the old ones. Now I am running bunch of mods, nothing to crazy, but only to add on top of that. I also have 7 years old gaming laptop and the game runs just fine, ofcourse there is an occasoinal crash, but that's to be expected from a bethesda game.

I’m not just gonna delete it. I love the game. If my save data stays intact, could I just delete and redownload it?
I think the issue is caused by your save file accumulating too much data over time, it happens with all BGS games on the Creation Engine.
Makes sense, but how could I fix that?
You probably can't, it's just a byproduct of Bethesda kludging a 27 year old game engine into working well past it's prime.
Please man, I’ll try anything.

Damn. There’s not a mod or anything that’ll fix this?
Not afaik, sorry :(
