This worked! Thank you so much. What a weird engine.

I have this custom armor that only renders on non-beast races (Nords, Redguards, Orcs, Altmer, Dunmer, Bosmer, Imperials, Bretons, Orcs) -- basically the armor doesn't render on Khajiits or Argonians. I've done some sleuthing and had found out that the ArmorAddon having the wrong races assigned to it can be a cause of this. I opened the armor in the Creation Kit and lo and behold, the relevant ArmorAddon did not have Khajiits or Argonians under the races. So, I added Khajiits and Argonians to the ArmorAddon and thought it was fixed, however, in-game the armor still does not render. I double checked in the Creation Kit itself and the ArmorAddon still had Khajiits and Argonians assigned to it. I even made an Actor and gave it an outfit with the relevant armor, and it rendered in the Creation Kit. I'm out of ideas, help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

yeet

heres to another great year!

Hmm. Seems like I've fixed it. Turns out I was running out of VRAM, even though I have 4gb of VRAM. Guess I can chalk it up to Skyrim being 32 bit/unoptimized. For anyone else coming across this in a Google search, DISABLE YOUR TEXTURE MODS FIRST, THEY MAY BE THE CULPRIT.

Wouldn't script lag simply freeze the game temporarily? Not cause the rendered frame to freeze and the game keep running?

I can assure you I tested them. Actually recently, I had taken off about 10 mods and the crashes do not happen anymore — at least not in front of Honningbrew anymore. They now happen approaching Fort Greymoor, an area which has always been very buggy and crash-y for me. Strange times.

I have over 280 hours in Skyrim, with about 95% of all of those hours being modded. I have had my fair share of unfix-able crashes, and CTDs. In all of those hours, I have never had a crash like this. It happens around Honningbrew Meadery / The companions giant fight area. What sets this crash apart from all the other ones I've seen, is that the last 2 frames that were rendered are stuck in a loop, and the game is still running in the background (?). I suspect that the game is running in the background just fine because I can still hear audio of the game running just fine — I walk; and I hear foot steps. I open the ESC menu; and I hear the menu, fully responsive to key presses. I just can't see it. Does anybody have any idea why this could be happening? Sorry for the long post.
