Default ScriptError files in Sims 3 folder
Hello !
I noticed today that a douzain files have appeared in my Sims 3 folder. They basically say :
ScriptError_DESKTOP_U6AHBEH_(date)_(three numbers)_(and a mixture of numbers and letters).xml
I wanted to know : should I delete them ? Until now, I did not notice anything strange in my game, but I just wanted to make sure that my neighborhood won't explode in my face next time I launch the game
Thank you for your help !

Edit : I just joined a screen capture, to clear things up hopefully :o

Script errors accumulate until you get 10-12 of them and then start overwriting each other with the oldest ones going out first. It's fine to delete them or leave them alone, they are there as an attempt to communicate with you, the player. The game doesn't read them, it's all output and not input. If you use NRaas mods or those from others that use the same logging system, they could be telling you something interesting about errors or conditions being corrected in the game (takes some practice to learn how to read them) or they could be totally routine and not really errors at all.

You also have four xcpt files showing at the bottom of the screen. These are crash logs and will never go away on their own. It's fine to delete those.
