Sebastian Activities in Festivals

[NorahF]

Hi everyone!
I have a question about Sebastian in Festivals. I married him from the 1.5 version, and stopped playing for a while, then updated to 1.6. He used to hang out with Sam in festivals before and after the marriage in the 1.5 version. In the new version, whenever theres a festival going on, I noticed that Sebastian always stay alone with the children, somewhere secluded, and not with his friends (Sam and/or Abby) is this normal for him?

I just got a quote from him saying: I wonder what Sam's up to, we used to be close friends.
I just got confused and couldnt find anything related online.

Does this happen to any of you?

As of 1.6 there are two layouts for each festival, one for even years and another for odd. NPC placement and comments are different on each layout.

Sebastian always hangs out with Sam during festivals on odd years in my save and is sometimes by himself on even ones (we do not have children but I believe they just stay near the spouse and don't alter spouse location). He has never made that comment about Sam to me, but has mentioned that he's looking forward to catching up with him at upcoming festivals. He also still goes to the saloon to see his friends on Fridays and hangs out alone at the beach first if it's raining.

I just completed the ice fishing festival in year 2 and he was alone but relatively near Marlon, whom he mention making a bet with (that my farmer would win the competition). Sam was busy making a snowman with his brother. Sebastian was also alone during the fair this year, but near the fortune teller, whom he referenced seeing. On my 1.6 save where I'm not married to him, he was still by himself for both those festivals.

Answer aside (which I think Retro answered), that is so thoughtful of you!
I'm happy that Retro mentioned Sam does hang out with Sebby at odd years on festivals.
I now see that even if I didn't divorce Sebastian, I don't deserve him to begin with. I wished I paid that much attention to his each and every thought

I will see to mend my ways and stop living so materialistically...
