Bend of the River Winter set crashing studio

Hi -- I wonder if anyone has had the same problem? I just got the Bend of the River Seasons expansion pack for the Bend of the River set. It loads just fine, and Winter will render, with full lighting set ... until you turn on the grasses and foliage. Then, as soon as the render begins Studio crashes. This is so disappointing to me, because this is something I had really wanted. Has anyone had this happen, and solved the problem??? Thanks.

You could try Render Settings,Enviroment,Optimization,Instansing Optimization,Memory. I just tried and it works o.k for me.
What are your system specs? this is a demanding set, especially with the grasses and foliage turned on

--------------------Thank you so much for this! This worked, I've just managed a lovely render. It was so weird: summer, autumn and spring would render beautifully, and they're full of grasses and foliage; but winter would crash every time, immediately that I turned on the dead grasses. Very grateful to you for this tip ... my oars are back in the water!

-----------------It's an AMD Ryzen 9 5900, with 12 cores threaded as 24, the RAM is 32 GB, on the B550 Tomahawk Max motherboard, and I have the 2080 Super GPU. The system was (professionally) built for me, configured for maniac-level gaming, though I'm not a gamer. I've never had any problem rendering the biggest, most overloaded sets -- until I had a new motherboard installed two days ago. Something changed on the upgrade, and it's been heartbreaking since then. Plant's tip regarding Optimization - Instancing Optimizatiuon - Memory seems to have worked some trick. Knock on wood, I just managed to render Bend of the River Winter, with the snow on the trees ... and we didn't crash. Fingers crossed here!
