This is a mod that allows you to change the day of the week, the season, and the number of days left in the season for a household. This is useful for keeping new households in sync when you're playing rotationally.
Say Mary-Sue kicks out Daniel on Wednesday in the middle of winter (something he would certainly deserve). He moves into an apartment on his own but now it's Monday and the last day of summer! With the magic calendar, you can set it to where it should be.
I made the four calendar designs myself using artwork from FreePik and SimsInLowSpace’s Runcible Spoon font. They don’t automatically swap when the season changes because I thought Simmers would like to add their own designs. It uses the mesh from TS4 Cats and Dogs, so you could make use of any existing recolours for that item, or create your own.
You'll find it in Deco > Wall Hangings and it costs $50.
Pie Menu Options
The three options the object provides are:
Change Day: Change the day of the week. It always moves forward in time. So if it were Friday and you changed the day to Monday, it would now be three days later.
Change Season: Change the current season. Options are listed clockwise from the top in the order they appear in your neighbourhood.
Set Days Remaining in Season: This sets the number of days that are left before the next season starts. The calendar will allow you to set any number 1-7, because I play with 1 season = 1 week, but you can adjust the maximum number of days it will show by opening the file in SimPE, selecting the Tuning - Calendar BCON and adjusting the decimal value. This will not change the default length of your seasons. You will need another mod for that, e.g. Quickshot14’s Longer Seasons or EvelynnMama’s Shorter Seasons.

Thank you to everyone who has translated this mod so people can enjoy it in their own language!
Requirements
You'll need LordCrumps' shadow file if you haven't got it already, or the shadow will flash blue. You only need to download the file and put it in your downloads folder. (All those other instructions are for creators wanting to use the shadow!)
