Seasons callendar whoopsie

Hello people!

So I changed the settings regarding legnth of seasons (from standard to 28 days) so now my holidays are a mess, everything is in spring even New Years. How would I go about to place them in their rightful place in the callendar?

    Note: This post was moved to 'General Information' rather than the Mac thread, as the Mac thread is for Mac-specific technical issues and this issue is a general, in-game play question.

    Yes, it does make a bit of a 'holiday' mess when you switch from a longer to shorter season (hence the warning they give in the game when you do it). When this happened to me I was very frustrated until I started to edit them manually in the calendar. There's an up-side. You will have the opportunity not only re-make holidays but you will also be able to make your own, remove ones you find annoying, alter the requirements, etc. I was actually much happier with the results of my 'overhaul' so hopefully you will be as well.

    If you're unable to reproduce the exact holidays and 'dates' they fall on in your game or find a list of these online you could try beginning a new/fresh game at the season length you want and go in and check where the holidays fall in it, copy their names and requirements, etc., and re-produce these manually in your current game.

    I found a couple of links that may prove helpful for you:

    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

    @PugLove888 @riobunny Oh my goodness... this was an awesome way to wake up with my cup of coffee! I loved the gnome and prank stories form you both! Lol! I am almost tempted to have some more fun with my households, but I think I would need a lot more coffee and a new outlook for that one! :eahigh_file:๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜‰  Thank you both!!

    @riobunny, thanks for sharing your stories on the holidays in Sims 4!  ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜ƒ:eahigh_file:  To funny about Bob Pancakes! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ  Yes, I only like the Prank Day with Sims who I want to be mischievous, not with those whom I don't! ๐Ÿ˜ž  How frustrating about your well-behaved teen going on a pranking rampage! โ˜น๏ธ  But at least you have a great story to tell! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    @SheriGR, glad you enjoyed our holiday stories in TS4!  These holidays are a lot of fun in the correct houses, but can get in the way of the bigger picture in some of your other houses, as we have shown! ๐Ÿคจ  It is more difficult to get the Prank Day and Neighborhood Brawl holidays, as they don't show up every year.  But if you're ever in a weird mood, you can always count on the Harvest Fest gnome chase (as I like to call it)! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I'm playing Vanessa Jeong in Get Famous right now โ€ฆ after the last Harvest Fest, the gnomes won't stop giving her seeds! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ It is almost Summer! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Usually the seed giving stops at the end of the holiday at about 2:00 am.! ๐Ÿคญ  Here's a few pics:

    @SheriGR, perhaps they just love her for her celebrity status?! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜ƒ  She is just as high in celebrity as Judith Ward now, but she is also tops in reputation.  She's the anti-Ward! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ:eahigh_file:  Maybe they just like her for how nice she is,. ๐Ÿ˜‡  But those gnomes are sneaky, so I think they have ulterior motives! ๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐Ÿคญ

    @riobunny, although I think this is a minor glitch with my save, I have to agree with you that these kinds of crazy surprises are one of the things that makes the Sims so fun! ๐Ÿฅณ  You never know what is going to happen! :eahigh_file:
