As far as I understand, you used DLCs as well and DLC code
ran out of memory as I explained you previously
(see this thread for my comments)

You just need to disable DLCs.

As to memory demands, some parts of Firefly's code refine their
memory demands iteratively and based on the previously performed
computations. The generation of DLCs is an example of such a code.
This is why in some situations it may be necessary to adjust
memory multiple times. This is not a bug but is rather by code design.

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

I have been stuck up to this since last one month. I have tried differnt PC systems too. Please help.

In addition I would say that it is really taking long to optimize it. Could you throw some light on how to make it faster?
