Script Errors?
My game has been freezing around the same time each time I open my game. (Around 5:00 pm SIM TIME) I reset everything in my town and I got a script error on my sim. The file says "outfit rerolled" but for an imaginary friend I deleted???? Is the imaginary friend corrupting my game now? I'm so confused

Hi, and welcome to NRaas.
I'm not certain what Overwatch is yapping about, maybe someone else will recognize that error. Can you just play through it or does it keep happening?
But it does look like you have improperly deleted an Imaginary Friend. Perhaps you used testingcheatsenabled and shift-click to do so? That only deletes the doll, the underlying sim is still in your game and now cannot be animated when it wants to be. The IF sim needs to be flushed out with MasterController, as described here:

Just as a note if you want to keep IF's out of your game use this to stop any new ones from showing up it won't do anything with the ones that are already there http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=547373
I've seen that error in OW before but for the life of me I can't remember what it was sorry

Okay, so I used master controller to delete the imaginary friend in Clover's inventory and also Stripes Goth, the imaginary friend who turned real using annihilation. Game play seemed to run smoothly until it became 5:35 pm sim time and froze again. The freezing does not allow me to do anything except sit there and wait. Animation still runs while it is frozen (plumbob spinning, trees swaying, etc) and so does sound. No script error was reported this time and I'm getting really frustrated. I've cleared my caches and made sure all my mods were up to date and not corrupt, I've reset the town, and now deleted the imaginary friend(s). And yes, I did delete Stripes Goth using testingcheatsenabled the first time around because i suspected him of causing a red box to appear in my relationship panel for Clover. Everything seemed to be fine until yesterday, honestly.

The redbox issue can often be solved by adding in the RelationshipPanel mod.
As for the freezing, I can understand your frustration but we are trying to help. The next step I would suggest is adding in <a class="wiki_link" href="/ErrorTrap">ErrorTrap</a> to see if it captures any script logs, especially around the time of the freeze but others as well, that you could zip together and upload for us to see if that reveals any more clues as to what's happening there.

I only got one log, but that's just a routine ErrorTrap Correction Log, nothing of concern. ET is removing leftover data from objects that are no longer really in your game anymore or that have become totally unusable anyway. I would suggest leaving ET in, though it's going to blurp out correction and other routine logs from time to time.
You mentioned earlier having reset the entire world. Was that a MasterController reset? If not, such would be in order. It's disruptive to gameplay and can take a good 10-20 minutes to run, but doesn't hurt anything.
On City Hall, NRaas > MC > Town > Reset Everything
I wouldn't give up just yet, but it is possible that the improper removal of the IFs prior have corrupted something with this game save. Do you by any chance have a prior save from before those deletions happened?

Yes, I reset everything using master controller. That's when I got the script error about the whole "stripes goth" outfit thingy.
And no, I don't have a previous save I'm curious.. I'm wondering if it can be bonehilda ..
The sim day before it started freezing I tried using bonehilda and she wouldn't come out of the coffin but the game acted like she WAS out. It wouldn't let me delete the coffin even though she never came out because it was "in use." I pressed the dismiss button and nothing happened but I was able to get rid of it. I deleted the coffin using the sledgehammer. I noticed a bonehilda in the sim list but I didn't think she could be the problem or not. Maybe I'm just being paranoid about it, but should I try deleting the bonehilda using total anihilation as well?? The script errors seem to be pointing towards the whole IF thing though so idk
