Fix holidays after changing season length

SheriGR

Is there any way to reset the seasons after changing length (game repair, etc.)? It looks like the only way I can adjust holidays is to manually remove and create them.

Edit to post - I have finished doing my edits manually, though I would appreciate knowing if there was a way to reset it automatically. I know it warns about this, but I really didn't notice any seasons jumping way out of their expected season until I went from 28 days to 7. That's when it went bonkers...

Are you saying the game-generated ones are all off? I know when I switched my Seasons to last for two weeks, each, I didn't have problems like you're describing. The main holidays were where they should be. Or at least close enough. I do hope you get it all sorted for yourself.

@GalacticGal ... Yes, I didn't notice any holidays that jumped to odd seasons or anything when I went from 7 to 14 days. I also didn't notice this when I went to 28 days. BUT... when I put it back to 7 days from 28, and even tried 14 days after that, it was nutty. Winterfest was suddenly on at the beginning of summer (it's a heat wave, actually), and all of the holidays are squeezed into the first season (the first 28 days) now. I got them all re-vamped manually, but I wish there was a way to just reset them per season length - or that it would do it automatically, actually. It apparently adjusts the holidays in the compression direction (making the length shorter). It just needs to adjust them when you expand the length.

You may want to let EA know about this. Although there is a warning that you could come up short on holidays when you change the length. Still, they should fix this, in my not-so-humble opinion.

It would help if they added the option to reschedule holidays. For now there is nothing you can do but delete them and make new ones.

@Fifinez, reschedule would be awesome. I don't understand whey they didn't just make it so you could drag and drop them to different days. Similiar to how there is no hotkey for selecting a specific quantity of a stack of items in inventory...the person(s) in charge of the UI stuff clearly don't actually play the game ever.
