Kevin Beare- Graduate!

 

Kevin Beare has graduated Sim State University (for what I hope is the last time :D)

He waved goodbye to the Fraternity that was his home for so long and left the newest member Jared Starchild to finish his own Senior year as well as his other housemates who had yet to run out to say farewell. 

Here is his new home in Strangetown. I lifted it from the Life Stories pack and remodelled it a tad so Kevin could afford it at 23K. I'm not so picky that I won't 'help' my Sims with funds to start them off in a home.

After that of course they are on their own to provide funds and furnish. Kevin had a few backpacked items and left himself some cash to spend.

Unkindly the game chose to give Family Sim Kevin a 'wifebeater' tee shirt, so he left straight away to get a new outfit.

Before he could get to shop at H&M Renee Andrews offered Kevin a job in Education, which so happens to coincide with his Lifetime wish to be an Education Minister someday so of course he said yes please.

As he had the rest of Monday off he stuck around and made a few friends, even getting a second 'network' from a townie called Jessica Ebadi who offered him discount on furnishings in the future.

He'd gone to the pet store from H&M and as he'd wished for one he bought himself a cat- a grey Maine Coon called Ursula.

The welcome wagon of Ophelia Nigmos, Circe Beaker and Tank Grunt arrived and spent a few hours chatting and eating.

It had been such a long day that Kevin didn't even notice Ursula sneaking onto his bed during the night- she woke up and left long before the 6am alarm on Tuesday.

Kevin left for work early on Tuesday.

Ursula wasn't lonely though as she spent the day getting walkby townies to pet and feed her snacks- although Bella Goth must not like cats as she wasn't friendly toward Ursula at all!

Kevin didn't get a promotion but did bring a colleague home.

On Wednesday Ursula left for her new job in Showbiz.

Kevin had got promoted to Elementary School Teacher and as he didn't need a skill he spent the evening teaching Ursula to speak, in order that she may secure a promotion soon.

On Thursday the Gypsy left a magic lamp for Kevin.

He couldn't wait to try it out and decided to wish for money in order that he may furnish a bit more.

Over the course of the next few hours Kevin received no less than 4 bags of cash which in total added up to 22K! With the promotion money that Ursula got when she became an Understudy his finances are looking much healthier.

He asked his college love Tiffany over but after an initial passionate embrace there were no romantic wishes and so he did the gentlemanly thing and wished her goodnight.

During the night Kevin had to get up and call the emergency services when he spotted a burglar sneaking onto his lot.

Thankfully the police apprehended the burglar and nothing of note was taken.

Kevin still cried about it on Friday morning though. 

He distracted himself though by teaching Ursula how to roll over.

Kevin had a chance card which gave him a 970 simoleon bonus and returned home as a High School Teacher.

which means hello bookcase career reward!

Poor Ursula wasn't having nearly as much luck and had been demoted, twice, due to poor choices on chance cards- still Kevin spent his Saturday morning off teaching her how to play dead.

He spent the afternoon at Sim Centre South fishing, playing games and meeting new people.

Ryan Wheeler offered Kevin higher wages from now on- thanks Ryan!

Kevin threw a party Saturday night for his male pals- Greek house old and new as well as Lazlo Curious who he'd met at the pet store.

While Kevin made best friends with Merlin Louie his other friends all got friendly over the burgers Kevin had cooked.

It was a roof raising party and a good time was had by all.

On Sunday there were clean and repair jobs to tackle.

and Kevin taught Ursula to 'come here'.

He then made a large saucepan of chili con carne.

and invited Tiffany and the girls over for lunch.

of course Brittany Upsnott left the Greek house already so it was just the other residents, Heather Huffington, Katy Hunicke and Nicole & Kelly Traver who came along.

Although Kevin and Tiffany had a fling in college they really have zero attraction. Pink haired Katy here though is very attractive to Kevin. Having said that I recall she has a few 3 bolt possibilities so I will wait until her turn on the list until I decide her fate. :)

Kevin's lunch date though went on way into the evening and after the girls left he crawled into bed a very tired but happy man after his first week in the 'real world'.

Summary- It's always fun to play a single sim after big households or dorms but Kevin did have a good week in the end and was never alone having bought Ursula early on. This family sim wants love and a family though so hopefully next time he'll find someone.
