As per title, I have been having constant crashing at my character creation screen, specifically when I am selecting through the races. Sometimes it just freezes completely until I ctril+alt+del skyrim.
I know it has to do with my mods. This is what i have done so far to try and resolve it myself:
-Read any ReadMe's and load orders of my current mods in case they have a specific load order I need to know about
-Tried using BOSS to optimize my load order
-googled load order optimization
Skyrim Character Creation Command
-read lots of forum posts about this issue with load orders
-tried to use common sense to get my load orders in check manually (bleh!)
-banged my head against my desk (ok, not really but I wanted to)
So, I humbly ask for anyone here for their help in getting me past the CTD during Character Creation. I have seen many requests for what I am asking, and also many people asking for their BOSS list so it is easier for them to help. I'll paste my load order as BOSS has them listed. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The new you
Creating your character is the first decision that you must make when playing Skyrim. Although you are presented with a wide variety of options for altering your character's appearance, the only decision that affects subsequent game play is your chosen race. Your character's capabilities are more strongly affected by how you choose to play the game (and by choices made when you level up) than by your initial character creation.
General Considerations[edit]
The factors that you must decide upon are:
Race[edit]
Full details on the characteristics of each race are provided on their individual pages; a table summarizing skills and special abilities is provided on the Race summary page.
There are ten playable races to choose from:
Appearance[edit]
Many aspects of your character's appearance can be customized, although they do not affect skills in any way as they are purely cosmetic:
Aside from the initial character creation, the only way to change your appearance is by becoming a vampire (automatic) or completing the quest Surgery (only available after the Dawnguard add-on is installed). The quest cannot be completed by vampires, and neither race nor gender can be changed.
Class Design[edit]
Skyrim does not have classes. Race and sex selection are the only pregame choices of the player that affect gameplay. As previous installments of The Elder Scrolls have used classes as sets of skills, that term is somewhat still in use for a set of favored skills. When choosing a race, you're also choosing a set of skills that your character has initial bonuses to, and most likely, you're choosing this race because you've already chosen what play style you're going for. Skills go with these play styles, they are 'chosen' by simply using them, which is how they level up. Stats and perks conversely are chosen each time you level up. You can hurt yourself only by leveling up the wrong combinations of skills, gaining too high a level for your power too quickly.
The skills you use should work well together and complement your play style. An example of skills that work well together are Sneak and Pickpocket, since sneak helps you become undetected easier, and being undetected is very useful when picking pockets, because if you're successful you get the items you stole with no penalty. An example of skills that don't work well together are Heavy Armor and Light Armor, since carrying two sets of armor takes up a lot of your carry weight, wearing a combination of light and heavy armor takes away the benefits of certain perks, and you waste perks investing in both. The best thing to do when leveling up and deciding which skills to specialize in is just use common sense and think about how all your skills will interact.
An important decision to make when planning a character is how much stealth you want to use in combat, or if you even want to use it at all. Stealth means using the Sneak skill heavily and often relying on it to survive, since stealthy characters ideally focus on being nimble over being durable. Additionally a stealthy character shouldn't use two-handed weapons, as they make more noise which can cause you to be detected quickly, rarely use magic while sneaking until you get the Quiet Casting perk, and not have a follower, as they will generally not sneak well and will often rush blindly into enemies.
Another important decision is how much magic to use. A strictly magic-based character won't use any kind of armor or weapons and will rely on magic alone to survive. However you can mix magic with stealth or combat, for example a stealthy character can use Illusion spells to become invisible or make his enemies attack each other while he escapes. Additionally a warrior character can use Restoration to heal himself and increase his overall durability, or use Destruction to augment his damage-dealing capabilities. However a stealth/magic or combat/magic hybrid will have to sacrifice other attributes and perks to be able to use magic effectively in conjunction with other skills, so plan ahead carefully.
It should also be noted that, by the end of the game, each character given the same skill levels will have similar proficiency with gameplay. Some race-related abilities (such as frost resistance or extra health/magicka) could aid in certain situations, but given enchanting and skill perks that remove negative associations with the skill (such as Heavy Armor's Conditioning), by end-game situations many races can be played similarly.
