🗓️ Please Let Us Globally Save Custom Calendars & Holidays! + UI Fixes

I wish there was a way to edit the calendar and save it globally. I know you can make a backup save of a fresh save with an edited calendar, but that's a pain because sometimes updates break saves. And if you want to edit the first day of the calendar, you can't until that season has passed.

I love editing Holidays and creating custom ones, and it's just a pain to have to recreate them all every time. It would be nice to somehow edit and save the calendar Holidays & Events as a global edit, so when you start a new save/game you don't have to redo your calendar all over again. This could even be a simple toggle in Game Options — something like "Use my saved global calendar for new saves" — so players who prefer setting up their calendar per save can keep things exactly how they work now.

It would also be cool to get:

  • More holiday icons without needing mods
  • More holiday traditions using in-game stuff that came with DLC — like a traditions overhaul
  • A fix for the calendar background — it's really bright white and hard to see. I've used a UI mod for this, but those mods don't play nice with my other mods so I can't use it. It's really hard to see the season icon against the bright white.
  • The calendar remembering which filters we want on and off, instead of resetting every time

None of this would change anything for players who like the calendar as-is — with a settings toggle it's completely opt-in, just a huge quality of life win for those of us who use it a lot. 🙂

    Hey,

    I really like the idea of making custom calendars and holidays easier to save globally. For Islamic and national events, having reliable dates across Hijri and Gregorian calendars is especially useful. I’ve also found it helpful to keep a dedicated reference for upcoming occasions rather than manually entering every date. For example, https://www.yawminow.com/occasions/winter/2026 provides Saudi Islamic and national event dates, including Ramadan, Eid, the Prophet’s Birthday, National Day, and academic dates. A global calendar feature that lets users save these events once and sync them across devices would make planning much simpler.
