Consistent freezing in Falkreath hold

[Talrax]

I am playing Skyrim Special Edition on PC. I have been having consistent freezing in Falkreath. As soon as I pass Falkreath Watchtower coming from Half Moon Mill (right near South Shriekwind Bastion) the game freezes. Here is my load order (from LOOT):

What I've tried so far is renaming the textures and meshes folders to see if the issue lied in one of them. Meshes did nothing but textures seemed to fix the issue, initially. So i went back and renamed the folders back to their proper names and then I deactivated SFO and Enhanced Blood Textures (which is currently deactivated and not in the load order). I did these separately in order to pinpoint if one of them was the issue and it didn't fix it. I then reactivated both and renamed the textures folder again just to check this again. This time however, the game froze, which was a bummer. Oh and I did a world cell reset (went to qasmoke and waited 3 days while using Recyclr) and I verified my cache (just in case). I am going to work on a few more mods that may be causing the issue, such as real mountains, vivid weathers, RLO (especially the weather module), and realistic water two. I have currently tried deactivating SMIM and boss encounters (it adds an NPC in falkreath), neither to any avail. Any help that anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

edit 2: so I used coc falkreathcorpselightfarm to see if the problem would occur after exiting the building into falkreath and it did not. I then traversed a good portion of the hold, including the exact area where the freezes were occurring and for whatever reason I am no longer having issues. Maybe it was having trouble loading the cell for the first time or something. I even tried coc'ed to whiterun and then came back and I'm still having no issues. I'm not sure if this is fixed or not, but for now it seems alright. However please let me know if there is anything wrong with my load order or ini's or anything so that I may prevent this from occurring again if possible.

 

edit 3: so I started a new game because I found that I still had some freezing and thought that it might be due to a corrupt save. Anyway,I've been playing around in falkreath for a while with no issue until just now as I was entering the town again from bannermist tower and it froze. I have no idea what is linked to this and it's getting incredibly annoying.
