[S] Stuck on Select Season for several unrelated interaction (1.113.288/2.09)

This issue just began happening with me while playing on PC.  When selecting the Purchase a Small Business Lot option, the Choose a Season menu opens and, as others have reported, when making a selection and clicking the confirm button, it just stays on the screen.

Solution (or Band-Aid):  As per user KahakotheFae, the following appears to have resolved the issue.

* Reset Discovery Quests
* Reset Guidance system 
* Save and exit to menu
* Load a different save
* (I don't know if this is necessary, but I repeated the first three steps)
* Load the save where the issue was occurring
* (When loading the original save, I was prompted to select a season.  This may, in part, explain the bug.  Is some of the information being saved in a shared folder instead of with each save?)

I've been playing this save for almost 30 hours.  As an aside, yesterday, I was asked (inconsistently) to choose a season when traveling to a different world.

This is the first time I've experienced either issue.  Normally, I'm only asked to choose a season once when starting a new game.

Edit:  After reading the linked thread, I'd like to note that Trashley visited me before this happened to give me the "add a second business" discovery quest.  I had discovery quests turned off, as I was constantly spammed with the same quests (e.g., telephone, going out).  Talking to him also caused discoveries to be automatically turned back on (without permission).

Unrelated to the seasons issue, I just want to vent for a moment about how buggy my experience has been with small businesses.  It's really buggy!  My active sim and NPCs often do nothing.  Love the concept, but not that it's buggy.
