What is the tiny yellow moon(?) symbol on calendar?

Since the forced patching I'm seeing a small glowing yellow round symbol on the calendar icon in the main UI. I click it to check, but I find nothing special in there and don't really see what the yellow symbol (sun or full moon?) is trying to tell me. I think it is thee every time I enter a new household, then I will need to open the calendar just to make the symbol go away.

I think there must be something I miss. What is the purpose of the new feature (?). I already see the moon phase next to the weather, so I suppose it is not to tell me when here is a full moon, besides there was no full moon when I checked.

I don't have Werewolves pack, btw.

I wish the yellow symbol was not there because it only gets annoying... Most new features might give a hint like this only once, but this seems to last forever...

  • I think it's just alerting you to events being there in the calendar. I noticed I get the same thing on the phone icon too, I think due to new posts on Social Bunny.
  • @crocobaura It must not be working correctly, because even after checking Social Bunny (or the calendar), I have that symbol too. Trying to learn to ignore it : P
  • Thanks. Forgot to say I don't have HSY pack either, I though that pack was needed for he Social Bunny thing?

    Could be, I must say I haven't given it much thought as it's not intrusive enough to bother me.
  • its trying to show you theres new content even though there isn't I think it got bugged with the same patch as aging

    usually with it game is loading some new calendar events to show when you open it having that so I am wishing it be gone after every event has passed once but dunno
  • I also have that yellow dot on my calendar. I don't have the high school pack. The only reason why I have the high school patch is because origin forced the patch. Why is this bothering people who don't have high school? It is very irritating, though not as game breaking as the fears.
  • That silly little glowing light on the calendar is annoying. I want it gone! I don't have HS.

    The wants and fears are overpowered, too. They need to be toned down.

    It is just like phone notifications: notifies you about new things and annoys you.

    I'd say ignore it.

    And nope, no need to own Werewolves game pack for lunar phases.
  • Nah, I see it too, but just don't pay any attention to it as it is as buggy as a lot of stuff in HSY. :D
  • Yes, this glowing dot is annoying. It shows on calendar and phone icons all the time!
