Fwiw, I’ve played through almost the entire remaster and only started having issues towards the end, just a bit of typical Bethesda “let the modders fix it” Software save crashes.
I didn’t play it in a group, but you guys might like Grounded. You’re tiny people exploring a backyard, and you’ve gotta harvest stuff like blades of grass, pebbles, and bits of candy/leftover food. Has a decent progression to it, I think.
