How does one do this?

They should be visible in SimsStudio, files called SimData.

Thank you. I made the adjustment. Now to see if it actually fixes things...

What happening is that the calendar will showed the 91 days but when it reach to day 29 it will reset to day 1 in current season and you're stuck in an endless season and the calendar gets completely messed up.

I am too much of a novice where Sims 4 tuning is concerned to know for certain, but I suspect so.

Okay, so I tried it and it still resets the season when reaching day 29.

Does it work for anybody here?

@bandit5 Yeah I know LittleMsSam has a 21 day one, so it might be possible to mess around with... I'm just not code savvy enough to do it. Haha

I use LittleMsSam's 21 days mod but have changed it for my own use to 91 days. Let me know if you want help with what to change in it so you also can have 91 days/season or whatever you want the season length to be!

Does this mod still work for you? If so, could you upload it and share it with us? Mine resets the season whenever it reaches day 29.

don't have it in right now but will put back and test it

Thank you. Bad thing with longer seasons is that it takes AGES to test lol

I put the the altered mod through several seasonal cycles, and although each season will reset after 28 days and start back at its beginning, the game does advance to the next season on the 91st day, as intended. One has to cope with a bit of climatic yo-yo-ing (which honestly, isn''t entirely inaccurate) but the mod does it does work to produce a full, 364-day year.

Until a better solution comes along, this is about as much as can be hoped for.

Thank you for testing this. Does it mess up the calendar all the time or will this work?

So far, the calendar has worked fine. I have marked the beginning of each month and set various holidays, and everything has progressed normally regardless of the 28-day repeat issues. I do recommend using the weather control console commands to deal with the "unseasonal" weather than the reset problem inevitably causes, which can be hard on planted gardens, but that is a secondary issue.

I would love 90 day seasons myself.

I found 28 day seasons to be moot, as I might as well not have seasons in my game. I can't even imagine 90 days worth of the same season. I use LilMsSams 21 day seasons instead of 28. But, I don't have it currently installed as she has not updated it. Three week seasons works out so much better for me. I'm able to have my Teen and Child Sims quit school for the three weeks. I place Liberty Day in the middle week and Labor Day on the first Monday in the Fall. Two days prior I have the school age kids resume school (I use the MCCC mod for this). Works out great.

As for asking Scumbumbo, sadly this person has passed away.

I haven't yet used the calendar since the patch only play-testing my new builds for today's download of the EP. As far as unseasonable weather, I've always had that. It rains nearly every day in the spring and summer. Spring is often colder than normal. I'm not certain it's the patch, is what I'm driving at. Weather has been a mess in my game nearly from the beginning, I'm so sorry to say. I'll have to check it out today. Just waiting for the EP. Oh, and it's now time. :)

If i recall in The Sims 3 seasons, we could choose to play in whatever season we wanted to via the settings?
