Whenever I select the travel option, I am prompted to choose a season to play in

This has started since I downloaded the businesses & hobbies pack, but I remember I first used the travel option and the prompt to choose a season wasn't there. choosing a season does not change the actual date or season, but it is weird because I chose a season to play at the start.

I took out the mod folders from my game but I still have this issue completely base game.

how do I fix it?
