Thank you for the suggestion. I forgot to mention that I am using PS4. I just went ahead and bought the PC version and everything is fixed right away. I'm not going back to the console version ever. The PC version is better.
I believe if I have over 100 of any light source (torches, trash can lights, etc) in a single area the game crashes. But what am I suppose to do? The game is so terribly dark even with lights that it makes it impossible to see anything. The only way, however, that I can prevent the game crashing...
