I'm very new at this, but something weird happened to the game. Never changed the settings so since downloading expansion, seasons have always lasted 7 days. Fall was a day away from ending and all of a sudden, instead of winter starting, fall starts over. The calendar indicates that we're in fall, the leaves are all back on the trees, there's no skating rink; but the forecast all season is snowing and freezing temperatures, and Winterfest and New Year's are in a few days. I exited and re-entered the game and nothing changed except that now, Harvestfest is the day after Winterfest (and we just celebrated it already a few game days ago). Confused much?!?!? Anyone else have this happen? Know how to fix it? My Sims would like to have a normal winter.
