Does the program outright crash, or does it just sit there idle for a really long time? Because I've noticed once I get to that point in character creation myself, I end up sitting there for about 3 full minutes before it moves again, and my computer's only a year old.
It's not about too many portraits, at least not exclusively. Happened to me when I had just a few (less than 30). Some portrait had something wrong, maybe the file was corrupted or compressed in a way that the game does not understand, it would crash until I removed that single portrait.
