It's probably not you. A lot of those mods, even/especially the 5 star rated ones, are a crapshoot when it comes to stability and the support is always lackluster and confusing, if it's there at all.

Make sure to launch using its STEAMMOD=????????? in the steam launch settings. For example Thrawns Revenge is STEAMMOD=1125571106
It may or may not lessen the crashing greatly.

That's not why they crash. That's why some might not even start. But that's not the cause of most crashing.

Some of the larger mods push the game's 12 year old engine too far, which is causing all the lagging and the crashes and whatnot. No one's fault. People forget that it doesn't matter how much a current rig blows away a rig from back then; the game engine itself is only capable of so much before it starts to destabilize.

So there is not way to fix it?

That's not an easy thing to answer.

First off; is it REALLY "every single mod?"

Second, you need to look at each mod's discussions to see if it is something that really is a problem with the mod or not.

MOST large mods fail because of the game engine taking a crap. But not all.

Ok, it could also be that some mods scripts and AIs are interfering with each other. There not supposed to sincemods are loaded selectively BUT it can still happen.
