Holiday on Repeat
A while back, I created a holiday that was right after New Years Eve. It was New Years Day; a custom holiday. The holidays passed and was great, but then weird stuff started to happen. It took me a w...
@NiaraTiara Now, I have plenty of custom holidays in my calendar and mods in my folder, but I have never seen or heard of anything like your "Groundhog Day" experience, as @anneke33 put it.
What truly worries me here is your description of the "blue square" over the holiday icon. Blue squares or pink circles visible on screen have in many instances in the past indicated a deeply broken mod and/or a corrupted save game file. It's also been linked to outdated CC before, which doesn't seem like it would cause a holiday issue, but I honestly would remove it all, just to make sure.
I really hope that deleting the localthumbscache file solves your issue, because if it does not, your only other option may be to revert to an older save game BEFORE you've created that custom holiday (I know... that would suck, if at all possible). Spot on for @RandomBuzziness for suspecting a change of game-time-speed, because that could indeed lead to various sync-glitches within your calendar!
Basically, we need feedback from you at this point to make any further speculations/suggestions on how to solve this.
EDIT: A last resort option: Try changing the length of seasons in game options, Save As and then change the season length back. Be aware that this will throw all your holidays off and you may not want to edit all of that, but this has fixed various calendar issues before.
