Amateur detectives!
Henford-on-Bagley made me think about this, because it would be such a good setting for a cozy mystery.
An active sim's life suddenly becoming the center of a mystery plot could be triggered by a buyable object, for example a "mysterious box" that can be locked or unlocked. If the sim unlocks it, they will start getting calls from townies asking for help in solving mysteries. The mysteries could be similar to those in the TS3 private investigator career, as well as the actions the detective can take: hold a stakeout, search a community lot for clues, search through a household's mailbox or garbage... This could be compatible with Get Together clubs: the detective sim could make a crime-solving club with their friends and they could perform all these actions together.
Only, unlike the TS3 private investigator, it would be a skill, not a profession. Higher skill levels would unlock more complex cases. The rewards would be increased friendship with the sim who asked the detective for help, and gifts from them.
If the player wants to stop townies from calling with new cases, the sim should lock the "mysterious box" again.
The build/buy and CAS objects could be vintage, possibly 1920's or 1930's style. Maybe desks or cabinets with secret compartments?
CAS should include a Poirot moustache!
