Those random errors are the worst.
If it's happening when a trader arrives or when you start producing a brand new ressource, it could be that you've found one item that has an error in its tag and that can't be handled correctly. If you're running only MM 8.1, it's pretty unlikely.
Something that tends to work for many people seems to be using DirectX9 instead of DirectX11. The game takes longer to load with big mods in DirectX9, but it seems to be more stable for some reason.
I suspect it could also be that at random times, one of your worker has a pathing issue, with his path getting blocked after it's been calculated. As that's pretty much impossible to replicate exactly, it's not a cause of crash that's ever been proven with certainty, but... I think that could be because of a new building being finished just at that time, or a tree seedling growing just at the foot of a bridge, blocking access. Add at least one square of road in front of all bridges and docks to be safe. Once again, no way to know for sure if that kind of stuff causes crashes, but better make sure the AI has no reason to get confused because of pathing issues.
