Play until the next week - Wednesday’s remain blank for every Zoi, despite every Zoi having work

Details:
I think a holiday permanently broke the scheduling system in my save file.
A holiday triggered correctly, and all of my Zois took the day off. However, ever since then, every Wednesday has been completely blank on every Zoi’s schedule, even though they are still technically employed and should have work that day.
I confirmed this across multiple households/Zois.
Current Behavior
Wednesdays are permanently disabled/blank
Work still exists in the schedule preview
Wednesday cannot be toggled back on
“Turn On All Schedule Items” does nothing
The Wednesday toggle appears locked/uneditable
This is affecting all of my Zois, not just one household.
My entire city seems to have collectively decided Wednesdays aren’t real.
I’ve attached screenshots from three different Zois showing:
Scheduled jobs still exist with Wednesdays included in work hours (bottom right)
Wednesday remains permanently disabled anyway
This seems like the holiday overrode the schedule system and never properly reset afterward.
As I am playing rotationally I was not yet back with the household who had the Wednesday holiday. So I did not notice yet. I now went back to one of the households which had Halloween on a Friday and then Christmas on the upcoming Wednesday when I was playing them. And it seems even worse to me. In this household not only the Wednesday is missing but also the Friday… The go to work schedule is even there but not the work…
Does likely mean then that at some point we might have every Wednesday and Friday off - we just need to play long enough until we have the Zois through the Fall / Winter vacation combo?
I have this issue as well. I was wondering what caused it - good to have an explanation as it’s very annoying. I think we should be able to add work / school schedules manually if it’s the appropriate day of the week.
I checked again and Wednesday indeed is my zoi’s day off. She’s working as a trainee firefighter at Dowon’s fire station. By the way, the firefighter career isn’t working in old saves (like mine), by “old” I mean saves previous to April Update. The lockers for uniforms aren’t working, my zoi doesn’t change into her uniform automously, the task window doesn’t show up and if it ever does they aren’t the correct tasks. Also, the employees don’t clean up their dirty dishes or the books they read, so, by the middle of the week the dining room is full of spoiled food dishes and the computer room covered with abandoned books.
At this point I don’t know if I should start a new save. I wouldn’t want to, cause I’d lose all my progress. Also, not sure if this Wednesday bug is still present in my game. For the zoi I mention Wednesday is her day off, but I’ll need to test some other zoi’s job schedule to be completely sure.
Still, to all players having this bug and/or the fire station bug, I feel your pain, guys.
Based on counsel I’ve received in other threads, you should consider making a separate thread detailing the issues with your firefighter career. It seems important and I would hate for it to get overlooked because it’s buried in this thread.
This has just happened to me, too. First time ever, but Wednesdays have now been cancelled in my (relatively new) save. I make a new save each major update, so this is a current issue, though it sounds like it has been happening for a while for some it seems like it may be happening more regularly now.
A workaround I found is to create an event at your workplace that lasts for the duration of your normal workday. Then, you can come in and complete tasks for your job.
We’d like to clear up some confusion about certain days being disabled.
Some days have their schedule intentionally turned off because they fall on a holiday, so they can’t be edited (such as the Spring Festival, Halloween, and so on). We were aware that these disabled days could look like a bug, so we’ve made an improvement: a Holiday icon now appears next to the toggle (see the image below).
Since this isn’t a bug, we’ll be closing this thread. That said, if you have any other ideas to share, feel free to post them in the Wishlist category.
