I wanted to change the length of all seasons to 25 days, so that a year would be exactly 100.
 When I tried using commands, the length reverted to the default after the world was shut down, and after that, it couldn't be fixed.
 I also tried using the Season Manager mod, but it didn't work. Is there a way to fix this?

Please do not listen to @Mike23Ua. None of what he has said is correct. I don't have an answer for you unfortunately, but please don't waste your time following his advice.



 

Very Short Short Default Long Very Long

Spring

5 12 20 30 50
Summer 5 10 15 22 40
Autumn 5 12 20 30 50
Winter 5 10 15 22 40

The Quality of Life Update on March 11th 2021 made it impossible to permanently change the seasons via commands as far as I am aware. You'll need a mod for that, though I am not at all familiar with any that are publicly available on the steam workshop.

If the goal is simply to have a year last exactly 100 days in length, then the only world setting configurations (That I can think of) that result in a year exactly 100 days long are:
Very Short Autumn, Very Short Spring, Very Long Winter, Very Long Summer.
Or:
Very Long Autumn, Very Long Spring, No Winter, No Summer

Alternatively, setting all four seasons to "Long" results in a year that is 104 days in length, which is unfortunately 4 days longer then 100, but may be preferable in order to keep all four seasons mostly similar in total length.

Yes, I meant long* not short, my apologies my brain is scrambled all over the place with a lot of real life drama & stuff so many family getting sick, dying etc.. 😣
I wasn’t wrong though- The answer can (mostly) be solved by messing with world Gen settings, no mods or commands required. Which is the only choices anyone not playing on PC has. 😝

I wish there was a way to make season order random. On random length, I got a 0 day spring once. Really fun, it took away the ability to fully prepare. The mad dash to stay alive was a blast. Would also love to see some new seasons in the endgame. Something challenging to deal with, that doesn't destroy your bases

No it can't.

This can be done in the settings. However, it will become too random. That is, there may be more than one season in a year. 
But going into caves in the summer and getting freezable because the next season is winter is incredible...

This idea is so good, i hope there will be a config for this.


After seeing this post, I tried playing with the seasons cycling in just 20 days (5 days each season) — It was quite fun, but I felt like I should have increased the boss frequency, as Deerclops didn't show up, nor did Goose. Only Antlion showed up. I'll still experience the "second year" 21-40.
