Posting here in case anyone ever has the same error I had -- SPECIAL ORDERS BOARD NOT REGISTERING? READ THIS.
On Fall 2nd and all subsequent days, I was unable to trigger the event necessary to have the Special Orders Board installed. The solution is simple; it would appear the game counts the amount of days since you entered the game in order to determine when the Special Orders Board event should pop off. It will always happen approximately 2 months from when you joined the game, plus two days. I joined the game in Spring 17th, and was able to finally get the cutscene on Fall 19th.
Since it has been confirmed that the file for this mod does not exist, further discussion is pointless. If you still want to get a solution from me, please private message me what's inside your mod folder and I'll check it out.
The game started me on Sunday the 28th of Winter and on my first day Pierre told me "thanks for spending one whole year here, I will stock new seeds starting tomorrow." The following day was Monday Spring 1st and Kent introduced himself to me. It seems the game thinks I am at the end of the first year, rather than starting a new save on a different first day. Just thought I would report this for your awareness :)
(I'm not sure if this is working as intended or not?) Thanks so much for the mod!
Hey, I thought I missed something, so I tested it now and that didn't happen at all. Could you please give me the SMAPI error log? It can be easily reproduced by setting only the first item of "AllowSpringSummerFallWinter" to true and the rest to false in config.json, then setting "AlwaysStartAt1st" and "UseWinter28toYear1" to true.
I'm sorry I missed your message! I don't remember if there was a SMAPI error or not but if I re-download this mod in the future and notice any errors I'll attach a screenshot of my SMAPI. :)
Files updated for SV 1.5 version. I don't know if the file in which the error occurred is for SV 1.5 version, but I'm letting you know just in case. That is my first C# mode, so it had much flaws. Thank you for your interest in my mod.
Hi! I'm using the version compatible with 1.5 on android and it seems to be working pretty well so far. The only issue I have is that the "allowedSeasons" and "alwaysStartat1st" configuration doesn't appear to be working for some reason when I set the former to only Winter and the latter to true.
I don't know if this is something you can fix, but when starting a game with Serfdom: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24357 , there is an error in the SpaceCore and the initial letter Serdom mod sends, isn't sent. I don't know if it is something that can be fixed, this is more a heads up to anyone else who has both mods going:
I updated. The letter will now be sent on time, but paying your taxes may become difficult. The Space Core issue will not be fixed and is not expected to affect gameplay.
I'm really tempted to try this, but I was hoping you could clarify how the first year is handled? If I start on Winter 1, does the first year last 1, 4, or 5 months?

Hope this helps someone.
My preferred start date is winter 1 and was looking for the special orders board event.
i just installed it and i am very confused
is that supposed to happen?
i would prefer to begin in fall 1
i actually had to uninstall it due to something not allowing me to make a new run

Edit: The mod also doesn't appear to be able to load the seasonal intro sprites relevant to the starting season
