Feature request: Calendar import/export
Hi! I love customizing holidays in seasons, but it's kind of a thing to go in and set that up in every save. I would love a calendar import/export feature so I could set them up once!

@xochiquetzl_xkvn Yes please! This would save soooo much time setting up a new game. It's not just about extending my preferred holidays but also removing the pre-made ones from one game to the next. I don't always remember to check the calendar and I absolutely despise "neighborhood brawl" and "prank day". Thanks for sharing!
UGH, Neighborhood Brawl! I always forget to delete it, but I hate it, too, and never let my Sims celebrate it.
I might create an empty save with nothing in it but my holidays and use that as a "base" to create new saves in the future.
(How I would do that: Create household as required with random Sim. Move them into an empty lot. Set up holidays as desired. Evict and mark unplayed. Save. Exit to main menu. Name something like "template" or "default holidays." Future saves would be launch this save and immediately Save As with a new name so as to leave the template untouched.)
@Thats_Me_Madz , I agree that it would be wonderful to be able to set your calendar to North or South Hemispheres! Great idea!😃
@JonaO703 and @xochiquetzl_xkvn , I also hate the Neighborhood Brawl holiday! 😖 And I also often forget to delete it in new saves! 🤦♀️😅
@xochiquetzl_xkvn , nice idea to make a save file as a template for holidays! 💡😎- @xochiquetzl_xkvn This is a the standard and only work around since EA somehow did not realize we might want to copy our calendar between saves. Unfortunately the trouble is doing this does nothing for pre-existing saves if you decide to revamp your calendar. It's really unfortunate and not something EA or modders seem likely to fix from the looks of it. It's really a shame they didn't make the calendar a separate file like your settings is. I would have preferred to keep back up copies for any saves that used a different calendar and just plunk the file in and out. Maybe this approach isn't possible because some things are tied to closely to the households in the save file somehow.
