Avoid the High Resolution Texture Pack from Bethesda.This will give you more control over how many new polygons are added to your settlement. Limit your plot count to a smaller number to start and add more slowly.While this isn't the most fun of options, it may help with stability on lower end systems, as you get to individually choose which of your plots upgrade once they are eligible so you can see what effect that building upgrade has on your frame rate. Try setting Upgrades to Manual in the Holotape options.This will reduce the amount of things your game needs to render the moment you arrive.

You can build this mat under Resources > Miscellaneous. Create yourself a fast travel target that is near the edge of your settlement and facing away from it.With that in mind, here are some things you can try if you find that your frame rate drops really low or your game crashes when hanging out in settlements with a lot of Sim Settlement structures. Also, because Sim Settlements uses an upgrade system that results in your buildings creating more polygon-intensive models over time, your frame-rate may be lower after returning later on. While it allows you to get highly detailed settlements built without needing any special mods or tricks to increase your build limit, the build limit in general was designed to prevent your system from crashing. The method used by Sim Settlements to create its buildings bypasses the building limit meter for the most part, and this can be both a blessing and a curse.
