What I can offer as collateral is a wallet that has 2.1 btc in it.
I could extract the amount needed from it, but the wallet has a ton of small inputs to form that sum, and in order to not get a too large transaction error I need to make a ton of small transactions to get there and it takes a huge amount of time.
I need the amount faster than that for a urgent matter.

If someone can tell me how I can set up 500 transaction of 0.001 in one so I don't get the error, and I don't have to do it 500 times in transaction manually, I'd be happy not to ask for anything Cheesy

I'm using bitcoin-core and the wallet dat file loaded.
I did manage to make a 0.00175 transfer with no error, but that takes me like a million years to get to the sum I need.

First: I wrote a topic on How to Consolidate your small inputs years ago. Read it

You're not the first, although having that many small inputs is uncommon (but not impossible). What did you do: collect faucets for years?
Anyway, in Bitcoin Core it's fairly easy to handle. First, enable Coin Control: Settings > Options > Wallet > Enable coin control features. Then, go to Send > Inputs and manually select a bunch of inputs. You can sort them on size and start with the largest ones. Select for instance 100 at a time, set the lowest fee (1 sat/byte), and send the entire amount to a new address that you own. Keep doing this until you have no more small amounts in your wallet.
If you're desperate enough, I can do it for you (at a price). But it shouldn't be too difficult to do this on your own.

Don't do this! Bitcoin Core is fine, no need to switch to Electrum.

Yo. This was extremely helpful.
It's working, kind of slow, but I'm consolidating the smaller inputs.
And to answer your question about what I did.
Essentially yes. I wrote some screen capturing software to look at some faucets and click the button once every whatever time the faucet had.
Started it in 2015. It worked and didn't , might have had more by now if the software was any better.
I'm a software engineer, not really familiar with everything crypto.
Thanks again for your help
