Fire Causes Crashing
No clue why this happens, but whenever there is fire (ie traps, dragon breathing, fire spells) my game willl freeze. I cant figure out why this is happening, I was doing fine with this game at first. I was using fire spells, and killed my first Dragon (by the watchtower in Whiterun) without fire ever giving me issues. Now whenever I hit a fire floor trap, or a dragon breathes fire my game will freeze and its starting to get irritating because I can't fight dragons anymore without my game freezing and crashing. Anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
Here is my load order if that helps!

I noticed you have some lighting mods installed--do the crashes still occur of you disable those?

I tried disabling ELFX and it did nothing, I was thinking about disabling the brighter torches mod and seeing if that had anything to do with it, I will post back with my results!

When I super sampled with max settings I noticed a serious drop in fps when I stood near a fire.
Didn't crash, but unplayable as fire is everywhere in this game.

I would assome you are getting drops and then that is setting off something else with your mods or setup than boinks your system.

I know that doesn't help. But curious if it's related.

Update:
I removed the brighter torches mod, removed super-sampling entirely and I'm still getting crashes when fire its shouted by a dragon. This is starting to get frustrating as the first dragon I fought never gave me an issue when it shouted fire.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Did you try disabling *all* of your lighting & fire-related mods (torches, lanterns,campfire, etc)?

Here's a potentially dumb question as it would appear unrelated to fire: do you still get the crashing if you disable skyBirds?

Update! I managed to disable Realationship Dialogue Overhaul and it has fixed my issue. Thank you ositodefelpa!! You're a life saver!

Seconded! I noticed the same thing was happening to me when I got into combat with some bandits who were using fire magic. Thought it might be the bandit mod at first and disabled that, but same thing happened in a different fight. Removed RDO and that fixed the problem.

I got the same problem. When i cast a fireball the came crashed sometimes. But i don´t use any mods, only high settings ingame. It just happend sometimes, not every time i used the spell.

Oddly enough I was using RDO myself as well, and found this post about the fire bug issue. Going to give that a try now.

Was just starting a new game and found this thread with a Google search about Skyrim SE crashing with fire effects.

Disabled "Relationship Dialogue Overhaul" fixed it.
