The filler images were chosen by looking at the highest non-winning scores. Anyone who had already won a spot on the calendar was skipped over to let others have a shot. The full 12 and 20 photos are on a collage attached at the bottom of this post. The winners names' are included in the catalog description of each calendar.
With the 12 Day calendar you can choose which month to start at and every night around midnight the photo will roll over to the next. Unfotunately, the setting will not stick after a lot reload, so you will have to remember to reset it each time you enter the lot.

The 20 Day calendar is made for those of your with Seasons, where each season is 5 days long and your year is 20 days. As part of the new updates, this calendar does not need to be set at all. It will automatically set the day to the correct weekday (as does the 12 day one), the season to whatever season you happen to be in, and the picture to the day of the year. The 'year' starts at the top of the seasons UI, btw. As another special new feature, in debug mode (testingcheatsenabled) you can now change which day of the week it is and change the season to the first day of any season. This was done to help you sync your neighborhood up easier. It's a tad cheaty, so that's why its only in debug mode.

Additionally, I've also created a 20 Day calendar that includes Holidays! It is identical to the normal 20 Day calendar, but on 8 days throughout the year you will be notified via pop up message that today is a holiday and what that holiday is celebrating. It is entirely up to you to decide if you actually want your sims to observe the holiday, so it's pretty harmless.

Date | Holiday | Description |
---|---|---|
Spring 2nd | Lover's Day | Today is Lover's Day! Love is in the air; make sure your sweetheart knows how much you care! |
Spring 4th | Llama Fools Day | Today is Llama Fools Day! Pranks on llamas and pranks by llamas; don't fall for them or you'll be the butt of the joke! |
Summer 3rd | Nation's Day | Today is Nation's Day! Today is a great day for getting outdoors having a grill-out and watching fireworks. |
Fall 1st | Founders Day | Today is Founders Day! Appreciating grandparents and remembering ancestors; today is a day to be thankful. |
Fall 4th | Spooky Day | Today is Spooky Day! Ghosts and zombies witches and vampires - are they real or just the kids next door? |
Winter 3rd | Winter's Eve | Today is Winter's Eve! Make sure you have a tree and some cookies if you want Santa to come tonight! |
Winter 4th | Winter's Day | Today is Winter's Day! Gift giving and spending time with family is what this day is about. |
Winter 5th | New Year's Eve | Today is New Year's Eve! The best New Years' parties start at 8 so don't be late! |
It is up to you whether you intend to observe these holidays, or if different sim families celebrate different ones. I've found in my game Winter's Eve and Day gets celebrated if there are kids in the house and if not, then the adults celebrate New Years Eve instead. Lover's Day has become a big wedding and engagement day, and the kids love Llama Fools Day. How you play with these new days is up to you, and you can of course let some holidays go by unnoticed, like Arbor Day, does anyone even know what month that is in?




Enjoy!
