sounds like you are running out of RAM
you can run diagnostics and post the results here.

There is no "Extensions>Twilight V2> Diagnostic " available in the hobby version.

here are some ideas:

I have some dome lights inside that are light emitters.
this is the likely culprit - I'm not sure what you mean by "dome lights" but light emitting surfaces increase render times.
applied two different siding textures to the exterior walls,
hi resolution textures can increase render times

I would not add emitter fill lights to "help" the sun/sky, but rather I would use Filmic post process in the Lower Right corner of the Render Dialog.

Verify that you have not accidentally applied a Light Emitter template to any materials in your scene.
Use Extensions>Twilight V2>Diagnostic and run that on the entire scene - read about your textures and lights in your scene in the diagnostic results it should tell you where you may have accidentally applied light emitter to a material or have high resolution textures where they may not be necessary.
