Suggestion: calendar in world view

I have long wished that there was a way to view the calendar in the world view, before loading a family to play. Obviously this would currently only be available to players who own Seasons; however, if they truly are going to add the calendar to the base game soon, this would be a nice little quality of life addition and it might make sense to add it at the same time, while they are already fiddling with the calendar.

Why do I want this? Well, as a rotational player, sometimes I switch to certain households for certain holidays, or prefer to play in certain neighborhoods during particular times of year. Particularly if I haven't played for a little while... ok, sometimes if I haven't played already that day, look, some of us are middle-aged and forgetful!... I often don't remember where I left off in the sims year.

That's all, it's a small thing, but it would greatly improve my gameplay experience and save me lots of loading screen time. I'm sure not everyone would want this, but it seems like something that could be toggled on or off in options. I don't know how hard it would be to do, and it's certainly not urgent, but if they were able to add it sometime without too much trouble, I would love it.

    That would be nice I get forgetful too ha, espexially when playing rotational I dont think I know how to play any other way now.
  • I keep an excessive amount of notes so I don't forget where I am... but that would be awesome for weather for pretty much anyone who travels between worlds. They could make it so it shows season and holidays for people who are less excessive in their notekeeping, and also show the weather forecast in the currently selected world anytime we choose to travel so we don't choose the restaurant in Newcrest during a blizzard. Great idea!
