PDQ: An Apocalypse

Meet Kevin Quick. He’s the lucky founder of this apocalypse challenge. I only have the base game, uni, and nightlife installed, so this will be a quick,

14 career apocalypse.At the moment, I have a clean game: no hacks, mods, or custom content.

H

“Hey, look, it’s a picture of me. This must be my room.”At the moment, Kevin is a popularity sim. His ltw is to top politics, but

that just won’t do.

H

Meet someone new +1000! Now we’re moving in the right direction.

H

A few aspiration boosts later, and Kevin is a knowledge sim. He wants to top science now. That won’t do, either.

H

Pleasure? 50 1st dates? Well, it’s got a number in it. We’ll give it a try.

H

Well, he managed at least one date before I got bored. Back to the drawing board!

H

Popularity again. This time Kevin wants to have 20 best friends. Hurrah!

H

Now it’s time for the friend-making montage.1…

H

2…

H

20. Back to campus to let the relationship get up, then besties by phone!

H

While we wait, let’s have a skilling montage.Or not? Shall we just go on? All right.

H

See dormies fighting…

H

See Kevin become permaplat!

H

Then Kevin sticks his head in the machine again to become Fortune, because hey, why not?

His new ltw is, uh, top some career or other. Really, does it matter?

H

Then Kevin got engaged to one lucky lady friend. Her job? She’s a hand model for Kay Jewelers. That’s some of her work right there.

She’s not a very good hand model.

H

Now that he’s permaplat, it’s time for Kevin to get his own place.

No need for walls. It’s not like there’s weather here or anything.

H

Hey, it’s a drama professor! Oddly enough, Kevin is actually a drama major.

H

It was at this lovely locale that he maxed all his skills.

H

Sadly, the college years were pretty much free of drama. Kevin doesn’t even starve to death here, because he’s permaplat and spending all his

points on an endless supply of energizers.

H

I buy this vase, then sell it through inventory, about a hundred times to keep Kevin in energizers and thinking caps. What? I’m sure as heck not

buying furniture for him.

H

After he finishes maxing his skills, Kevin goes out to earn some money. But I’m trying to get through the college years as fast as possible. I don’t

have time for much of this.

H

So it’s back home to spend the rest of college painting portraits.

H

All too soon, it’s over. Kevin will be spending the apocalypse in a wifebeater.Final tally: Graduated summa cum laude in drama, 21 friends, max skills, permaplat. He only has about $23,000 in cash and didn’t join the secret

society. Let’s get this party started!
