Only fix I found on PS4 was to use mods. Using mods disables trophies etc but if your just playing to play, the mod I used enabled me to pickpocket children. The little guy had over 1200 baskets in his inventory. To top it off you cannot take them all at once even with a mod that increased success rate from max 90% to 100%. I started with stealing 75 baskets at a time, but at one point he woke up during the process and added on a 25 bounty. I slowly decreased how many I was taking and eventually had them all out of his inventory. The basking duping should stop once they're adopted.
Has nothing to do with stupid baskets!! I used eff and rdo and emptied the kid. It just freezes
