Winterfest rolled around just after I bought the new Sims 4 Riviera Retreat kit, so I put the Winterfest tree poolside.

This is probably a good time to show off the current state of the house. I couldn’t decide between a traditional Cape Cod or a contemporary build, so I thought, why not both?

That morning, I had all the Splines add a present to the Winterfest tree. Then they each got to take a present. Guess what Molly Jr. got!

Guess!
You’ll never guess.
She got a Large Pet Poop.

Yes, really!

I was stunned and furious on her behalf. Who gave this sweet little girl a Large Pet Poop as a present? Logically I know the game must have a randomized table of possible presents. But I can’t help wondering, was it her dad? It must be her younger sister, right? (I’m an only child; I don’t know how these things work.)
I immediately resolved to make this right by building a cute little space for her.

I also bought her a laptop. What more could a tween girl want? (As I’m typing this I realize the obvious answer is “a pony” but I’m done with pets for a little while, after our recent veterinary scare.)

Father Winter appeared that night. He seemed a little puzzled by the poolside Winterfest tree, but whatever. Things change, Father Winter! Get used to it!

Father Winter and the girls hung out by the fire pit chatting and making s’mores. I had high hopes that Father Winter would balance out Molly Jr’s terrible poop present with an awesome gift.

He gave her a bottle of bubble solution. The best thing I can say about that is, it’s better than a Large Pet Poop.

She seemed happy about it, though! Poor girl. I’ll make sure she forever gets the best presents from this point on!
