Game will hangup and freeze when trying to talk to Jim and open his store.

Other mods removed prior to the error including BOP, baby mobs, waddles, morpheus, hwyla, wawla, and tough as nails. Seem to be the change that precipitated the error.

narrowed the issue down. Recreated problem by removing only tough as nails. Problem resolves when tough as nails is re-added.

Thanks for the report!
So are you saying that the issue is only there with or without Tough as Nails?

There was no issue until tough as nails was removed. When Tough as Nails is present it interferes with HF's snow and seasons... attempting to remove it causes this issue.
