Is there a way to change the season a second time?

I am working on a game save where I have fixed everyone's hot and cold weather choices. This game save won't be used for playing but rather to start up any new game saves, this way I won't have to keep doing the same thing over and over again. When I started up this game save, it asked me what season I wanted to start out with, so I picked Spring. But is there a way I can pick a different season after picking out it the first time?

    ❗ You will only be required to select a season once per game save. Seasons rotate with the following schedule: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
    You’re not able to alter the starting season once you’ve selected it. The only way to change the weather or the current season is to use the Weather Control Device in buy mode. High level Handiness Skill and upgrades are required.

    They said during the live play you'd need to start a new save to change the weather once you set it. I did not know the weather machine could change that setting - I thought that was only a temp fix as the live play showed a guy that needed a sunny spring day with his girlfriend, so he used the machine to make the rain stop and the weather become sunny - so as far as I knew that was all it did.

    I generally never touched any of the weather machines we had in previous games (because of an issue someone had with Sims 2 machine) - so had no plans to touch this one either. I was always fearful they'd mess up weather.

    You can do so with a cheat, otherwise no. http://simscommunity.info/2018/06/24/the-sims-4-seasons-cheats/

    The weather machine can be upgraded using the handiness skill to allow you both change the season (which I do quite frequently since I find 7 sim days too long) and it also allows you to change the general weather for the season. Like for summer you can change the entire forecast to make it supper rainy and stormy and change it from hot to cold all summer long.
