Hello!
I logged onto my game just on the last day of spring, and it should have changed season overnight, but the following happened:
- My game skipped a season, spring was ending and went back to the first day of spring again. As in, my game did not reset: my Sims's progress had saved, nobody "went back in time", but the calendar reset.
- When opening the calendar after the first day of "new spring", all seasons had been shifted by one week: spring contained the holidays of both spring and summer (sometimes two on the same day), summer had autumn holidays, autumn had the winter holidays, and winter was empty.
- I tried creating test holidays, but not all of them were successfully added. It seems I was only able to add holidays to days the game recognised as empty: the whole winter week was, technically, empty, but if I tried adding an event to the third day of the week (which is where I put Winterfest) or the last day (New Year's), it didn't add anything. However, I could add an event to the second day, which didn't have a holiday on it before the bug occurred.
I did notice this after installing the Meaningful Stories mod on Saturday afternoon, 27/06/2020, but it could just be a coincidence, since I've now removed my mods and tested. I've also already deleted the localthumbcache.package and repaired the game, but the problem still occurs.
I've linked my saves, config log, LE files, and also my script mod folders
Thanks a ton for looking into this!

- @CLFrenchie You can just try disabling the pack: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2017/03/disable-single-packs/ (Seasons is EP05)
Create a copy of your saves folder first, then disable the pack, load the faulty save (you'll loose everything related to Seasons), save under a new name), exit, enable pack again and check
