Game Month Bug (Solved)
I was messing with the 'set game(Month/Day/Year) to' commands in conjunction with the Take Notes! mod to create in-game backgrounds for a character. When setting the month to month 12, 'Morning Star' In game, Skyrim doesn't detect it as a real month and in fact will go so far as to not allow me to use the wait or sleep menus to pass time in that month. I've been working through some workarounds and fixes, but nothing seems to work.

I was wondering if anyone has run into a similar bug before and knows a solution or knows how to edit the information back in. I already attempted all the usual things like verifying integrity and uninstalling and reinstalling mods to try and fix it, but I've yet to find the culprit


TLDR: Inputting Month 12 into the Console to get Morning Star isn't correct. It's Month 0 since I completely forgot that the engine would put the first month as a computerised Month 0.

I'm assuning you are speaking of the mod "Take Notes - Journal of the Dragonborn SSE"
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/13570?tab=description

The SE version of the mod refers users to the Oldrim version of the mod for the forum threads. Have you read those?
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48375/?tab=forum

Also, you've probably already referred to these links for Skyrim's Calendar:
http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Calendar
http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Holidays#New_Life_Festival

Once you've read all of this and if you still are having the problem I would then post your question on the Take Notes mod page.

Last but not least:
IF you can not resolve this problem you would need to perform a proper "Clean Vanilla Reinstall" of your game.

This is a very simple process HOWEVER You must follow the steps in this 2 minute video to the letter, pausing the video as needed.

So I wanted to reply cause I spent 15 hours on this. I messed up the number. The in-engine month is done by starting at Month 0 which is Morning Star gong to Month 11 which is Evening Star. I was putting in Month 12 which doesn't exist. I'm stupid. Played hundreds of hours of Oldrim and SSE and I can't believe I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ this. Thank you for the help regardless even though it was just me being stupid with the Console.
