Title says it all. Cannot get these cloths reduced by any means. It will get to importing reduced mesh, hang and then crash.

CC never crashed when I reduced polies of clothes. Actually thats the tool which is the most stable and fast in my experience. Although I always reduce every object seperately and dont use the "reduce wearables" function. I like to have more control...
Maybe try that also. Hope that helps!

Sorry to hear you are experiencing problems.

I would first check you have your graphics drivers updated. This is very important.

If it then still happens, please contact Technical Support using the link below and supply your dxdiag.txt file. They will then be able to check for any system related problems.

Tried this today, Crashes every time.
Tried it on a full character export.
Tried it on a single object.
Tried it with recommended settings,
Tried it with % based reduction
Tried it with poly limit based reduction. 

All crashed. while running the latest GeForce drivers 417.01 11/26/2018

Same problem here. Latest GForce drivers. I stopped using CC3 because of this.

Have you tried reducing the polys by object rather than everything at once? Does this still cause a crash?

Mine will crash if the poly count is about 75 or 80K.  My workaround is to select a few objects at a time and then reduce them.  Try this instead of selecting all of them.

I recently came across a beard, which came as a single object. I don't remember its exact number of polys, but it was almost 2 million. CC3 crashed when trying to use instaLOD.
How do I go about reducing the high polycount without crashing CC3?

SImilar issue. I am reducing polygons on hair imported from Daz that is over 1mil.
Even if I use the Element reduction method and select 1 section rather than multiple to work on it still hangs.

For anything DAZ, I'd certainly recommend DAZ Decimator. It's a bit expensive, but well worth it.
Not only it's fast and stable, but the main advantage is preserved morphs.
CC LOD would wipe out hair tweaking morphs (that is if you transferred them with hair).
