That sounds like a great mod for players who prefer to start their farming experience in the spring season rather than in late summer. Starting in spring can provide a fresh start and a different dynamic to gameplay. Resetting all fields to a cultivated state ensures consistency across all players' new careers and eliminates any existing crops to align with the new spring start.

The synchronization of the crop calendar with the spring start is a nice touch, making sure that players can properly plan their planting and harvesting cycles from the beginning of the game. The feature that removes harvest-ready and growing crops at the game's start is a crucial step in maintaining the consistency of the spring start.

The one-time execution per savegame ensures that the mod does its job without ongoing interference in the gameplay experience unless the player wants to disable it later. The method used for field reset, with a delayed system-safe approach, is a thoughtful way to prevent any conflicts with base map overrides and to ensure a smooth transition to the new spring season.

It's good to note the potential appearance of info messages after loading due to the field reset process and the temporary freeze that might occur while the fields are being reset. These are minor inconveniences compared to the benefits of a fresh spring start.

Overall, this mod seems well-designed and offers a unique way to kick off a new farming adventure in Farming Simulator 25.
