Stuttering / freezing when encountering enemies after reaching level 30+

[Entengengeng]

I've been encountering this issue for a while now on a new playthrough and removed some mods that made the stuttering worse. I didn't fix the problem per se but made the issue minor for now, I get this issue whenever I reached level 30+ and after a few cell reset that spawns new enemies into the map with new loot / equipment, when I encounter them, I would freeze for 1~5 seconds depending on how many they are in an area, for now its only a minor issue but I'm afraid its gonna be worse down the road. I can't really pinpoint what mod(s) are causing the problem since I already removed 10 mods so far, most of them are level list inject weapon / armor mods, I also have script heavy mods like SS2, weapon and armor pack mods like combined arms integrated to all including mutants, and bashed patched them.

Most of these mods are ESLs so my current 182 mods only have 69 ESM+ESPs in total.

I have already reduced some weapon and armor mod texture to 2/1k to reduce FPS drips / freezing but the problem still occurs. Did I install too many weapon / armor mods that have a level list integration? (Combined arms, Gunner Militia, Doombased, Russian Assault pack, CCO, Shakala? or is it script heavy mods like SS2 that causes this?
