New Year Year 4
New Year’s Eve 2041 was the first day little Michael Collins visited his father at that one’s hovel.

Fred thought the boy might like to watch a harmless, low noise firework, but Michael didn’t seem to be in favor.
Winter Year 4
The old year had passed, but winter was still in full swing.

Fred: “You are arrested for making me leave the police station in this weather! And for something else I can’t remember right now.”

Another New Year’s Day, another Polar Bear Plunge. This time Fred got his badge first try. I’ll need to remember this lot when next one of my sims has trouble with this tradition.
Fred invited his friends to a party…

Todd: “Haha, Danny, fireworks were yesterday!”

Morgyn: “What’s the occasion, by the way? Michael’s birthday already?”
Fred: “Uh-uh. Gulp…gulp…gulp…”

Gavin: “Come again? This time Fred needs to throw a party in a hopelessly filthy house? Who comes up with all those projects? And why didn’t WE got such cool ones at uni!”
Caroline: “I know, right? I’ll never again say that drama isn’t art! This is superb!”
Gavin and Caroline were in the same year and dorm at uni. He majored in Communications, she in Visual Arts. Fred, too, has his degree now, and he graduated with honors!

And then Connor stole a handful of lilies…
https://abload.de/img/09.05.23_20-23-4244c4x.png
Fred: “Put that back! Put that back immediately! I must save every cent for my therapy!”
Connor: “I know, I know! But the museum where I live needs a new roof and they are broke…”
Rika: “C’mon, Fred, Connor helped you all year with the flowers. He is due some compensation!”
Fred: “I… guess… so… Do you really live in a museum, Con’?”
Connor: “I’m hardly ever there, but it’s my registered place of residence. I can’t risk losing the address. And Travis and Liberty would be heartbroken if they had to look for new jobs for lack of a workplace. They might not be able to find work in the same place again. Heck, Summer would be heartbroken over Travis and Liberty being sad!”
Rika (whispering): “I don’t recognize any of those names, but those people seem to be important to Connor. Let’s be nice, okay?”
Fred: “Well, okay then. Suit yourself!”

Looks like Hank was also behind on the bills, because he, too, picked plenty of flowers, mumbling something about having to feed the dog and six dependents.

Fred: “Did you see your killer, Ms. Mills?”
Ghost: *points at Amadeus at the reception desk*
Fred: “No, that can’t be right…”
Ghost: “What do I know! To me all mortals look the same: clunkily solid.“
And so Fred learned that even the ability to speak with the dead didn’t substitute for diligent policework.

Remember the celeb who turned Fred down at the first day of the scenario? He knocked at Fred’s door one day, still somewhat distant, but way more open minded. Apparently Fred having helped Hank and Connor pay their bills has given him a good reputation!
In the background two prolific 100$ frogs, that were the secret MVPs in the scenario. I put gave them a new home in the house when I found slightly more valuable ones.

Winter wasn’t just harsh, there were also bright days perfect for family outings like sledding. Uh, you sure this is a good idea, Fred?
https://abload.de/img/09.05.23_21-52-16emi8x.png
Nope. Doesn’t look like it.

Building a snowman with Michael towards the end of winter…

…and the finished work.
