so i just hit level 34 and got my blacksmithing to 100, ever since then however the game CTDs if I bring up the 'ESC' menu (the one with the quest log, character info, and save) and try to switch tabs.

I've tried fast traveling to different locations and trying it then, but the same thing still happens.
What's worse is that because of this the only way I can save my game is if I manually turn off my controller (yes i play with a controller!) so that I can hit the 'esc' key to bring up the save menu directly (hitting start on the controller brings up the quest log, so if I try to switch from there it CTDs)
Anyone know whats causing this? (I already tried turning off all the mods I'm using and that didn't work!)

UPDATE; So I started a new game and a fresh character has no issues like this, I loaded up my save and bam it still happens, I'm thinking somehow the save became corrupted? Even though I can still play, as well as save over it.

EDIT: It's not as bad as I feared! The problem lies in the general stats tab, whenever I go to that tab the game CTDs, so for now I guess I can just avoid it by switching tabs in opposing directions haha. Odd though that the game would CTD because of the general stats tab!

This crash just happened to me this afternoon. I don't bring the general stats up often, but the game quietly quit to the desktop quite consistently.
