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. - Edw_HareHare7 months agoSeasoned Novice
"EDIT: Resetting Discovery Quests, Resetting Guidance system, and loading into a different save then back into a save where the issue was occurring WHILE DISCOVERY QUESTS ARE OFF fixed this for me. "
Your solution helped me with my problem, thank you <3

I'm also having this issue with and without mods. repairing did not help and sometimes it gets stuck on the select season page no matter what i click.

This solution helped me, as well. My game was stuck in a loop on the season select screen and I thought I'd have to delete my save. Thank you!
when I travel between towns, any time I do this a season choosing screen appears. and it doesn't matter what i choose - it stays the same, so I reckon it's a visual bug (appeared after updating the game to the latest version and installing hobbies and business expansion pack)

I am having the same issue. I try to go on vacation and the change of seasons goes on loop and the only thing I can do is restart my game. Change seasons also pops up every time I travel to a new world as if I had started a new game.

This is very much also a problem in my game. My sim was trying to buy a small business and got stuck on choosing a season. No mods and no cc. I hate how this game is becoming more and more unplayable with each pack/update :(
Thank you to KahakotheFae for the workaround. It seems to have fixed it. For now.

The problem seems to be tied with Trashly. Resetting quests did not work for me, but loading to a previous save before talking to Trashly did.
The prompt occurs when travelling between maps, and loops without end when trying to purchase retail. Anyone having problems buying a retail with the Get to Work Expansion? Seasons Expansion is not letting me buy one. This is on Xbox, anyways if I buy a retail it tells me to choose a season to play in, but if I choose, it makes me choose again and again, never stopping.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or why it is doing this?

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?
