"And here's the man of the hour! This is CallMeKevin The Youtuber, the Sim version of me which is utterly depressing." -Kevin[1]
CallMeKevin Curious (né The Youtuber) was Kevin's Sims 2 counterpart. He was a clever but incredibly unlucky Sim who lived in 91 Road to Nowhere, Strangetown. He temporarily resided in 201 Custer Boulevard, Downtown, but moved back to Strangetown. He is also the protagonist of his own series.
Appearance[]
CallMeKevin was an adult male with pale skin, grey eyes, brown hair, and stubble. In I Accidentally Broke The Sims In The Weirdest Way, possibly due to an error, CallMeKevin's face became neon blue, without eyes or mouth. Not only that, his face separates from the head whenever he performs an action. This issue got fixed in I tried the Sims without owning a home and this happened..., but now CallMeKevin permanently lacked eyebrows, as well as his original eye color mesh (They now appear brown/dark grey and don't follow the cursor due to an error. The color shown is the eye color painted on all skin-tones).
In summer and in his house, he wore a yellow T-shirt with a drawing of square black chains on it, blue jeans, and a pair of brown sandals. In autumn, he wore a dark-grey jacket and grey pants. In winter, he wore a yellow jacket with black shoulders. In spring, he wore a red shirt with white stripes, and a white T-shirt.
In his formal uniform, he wore a Santa Claus costume, minus the hat, beard, and glasses. In his work uniform, he used to wear a clown costume, but later began wearing a mime outfit, which made him look like a burglar since he didn't have the face paint on. After CallMeKevin was hired as a team mascot, he wore a mascot outfit. After marrying Vidcund, CallMeKevin began wearing a ring on his ring finger. When working at Grilled Cheese Good, CallMeKevin wore a swim brief and lacked his eyebrows for some reason.
During a failed cloning experiment, CallMeKevin was aged down to a toddler. When he aged up, his clothes changed completely. Now CallMeKevin wore a lime green gilet, blue T-shirt with a spaceship and star drawn on it, grey jeans and brown boots. He also wore a green necklace, one long red wristband on the right hand and several short and differently colored wristbands on the left. He later recolored his hair to blond.
Personality[]
In-series[]
CallMeKevin was a very creative individual, with tonnes of plans in his mind, but their executions rarely ever went well due to him not thinking them through, or simply lacking luck. His plans were bizarre and didn't follow any logic, like his plan of using cats as the main providers for the family, growing alien children despite hating them and not taking care of them, or running a restaurant, which only sells grilled cheese, with his zombie slaves. While he was persistent with his plans, CallMeKevin's executions often times resulted in extremely awkward situations, or, in some cases, deaths. Despite that, CallMeKevin became more careful over the course of the series, resulting in fewer fires, at least most of the time.
CallMeKevin had little to no regard for social norms or law and would enslave, torture, or even kill his victims if he so chose. He didn’t feel guilty or responsible for his actions, though he did appear to be aware of how messed up those actions are. CallMeKevin’s moral compass was questionable. He didn’t see anything wrong with murdering people, but he was strongly against cheating, as can be seen when he bought a line of statues because Vidcund brought over a hundred thousand Simoleons to the family.
The Youtuber also appeared to lack charisma, as almost no Sim liked him, though this could be mostly due to his actions and not CallMeKevin himself. The only people who somewhat liked him were his children (zXSNIPERZXz and PoliticalTalk), Jenny, Vidcund and Buzz, all of whom he treated poorly.
CallMeKevin was obsessed with grilled cheese sandwiches. After frying his brains with a machine he got from work, all he thought about is grilled cheese, all he wanted to cook is grilled cheese, all he wanted to talk about was grilled cheese, and he even booed at every food that's not grilled cheese. He was so crazy over grilled cheese that he had a mental breakdown every time something bad happened to them. CallMeKevin's lifetime want was to eat 200 grilled cheese sandwiches. His obsession with grilled cheese had been permanently eliminated in Playing the Sims the way the Creators intended. CallMeKevin also engaged in cannibalism.

History[]
See full history here.
Background[]
"Ah, so that's how I got here. I crashed on my UFO spacecraft. That makes a lot of sense."[2]
It is implied that CallMeKevin crashed in Strangetown in his UFO. It is unknown if he is actually an alien, as there is no evidence to support that. What he was doing with that UFO is also unknown.
Main events[]
When he bought a lot in Strangetown, he met a woman named Jenny Smith, whom he tried to befriend to get a promotion. He also met Vidcund Curious, who quickly became his enemy. He tried to kill Vidcund, but failed every time, until he decided to make Curious his prisoner/slave. The two went through a lot, from Vidcund constantly getting impregnated by aliens, CallMeKevin running a restaurant with zombies, to him aging down and cloning Vidcund. The situation CallMeKevin was in got so absurd, that he made the Bigfoot the owner of the lot and left to find a better place to live.
After leaving, CallMeKevin came to a neighborhood called Downtown, where he began breaking into people's houses and setting their appliances on fire.
This did not lost for long, as CallMeKevin moved back to Strangetown to live a life by the Sims 2 guide book, which turned out to be a disaster. One night, CallMeKevin's oven caught fire, leading to him catching fire too and burning to death.
Relationships[]
Vidcund Curious[]
"... and this is the man that he (CallmeKevin) wants to see as a ghost because he kept slapping me. Granted, I was looking into his house with the telescope in the middle of the day, but I still think he overreacted, so I'm going to overreact in turn." - Kevin planning to kill Vidcund.
Vidcund was CallMeKevin's neighbor, who was later added to the The Youtuber family before becoming neighbors again due to corruption. They were both in a love/hate relationship. CallMeKevin found him very annoying, because whenever he spied into Jenny's house, Vidcund arrived, and sometimes he would come to CallMeKevin's house without permission. When CallMeKevin had enough of him, he tried to kill Vidcund in a number of ways, all of which failed miserably since Vidcund was somehow immortal.
He acted as CallMeKevin's archenemy for the first two episodes, but starting in the third episode, they began getting along well and even seemed to be in love. He was later added to the family again, but this time CallMeKevin wanted him to continuously get impregnated by aliens so that he would spawn more workers. And so he became a prisoner. Even with all the treatment he received, Vidcund still proposed to CallMeKevin and they became a married couple. Despite such a major event in their lives, CallMeKevin still treated Vidcund as nothing but a slave, though his surname was now changed to "Curious". Much to CallMeKevin's frustration, Vidcund was scared to death by a ghost. After all this time of CallMeKevin desperately trying to kill him, Vidcund met his demise because of a random ghost.
CallMeKevin thought of bringing Vidcund back to life, but was more focused on his other plans, until, a few videos later, Vidcund was revived as a zombie for 998 Simoleons. CallMeKevin resurrected Vidcund only so that he would be his slave. He now sees Vidcund as just a worker, evident by the fact that he stopped referring to Vidcund by his name and referred to him as "this guy". His importance to CallMeKevin was so diminished, that when he died again, The Youtuber made a funny remark and continued doing his deeds without his husband, though he still revived him in the next video.
Jenny Smith[]
Jenny was CallMeKevin's neighbor, former love interest, and sister-in-law. She was the first Sim CallMeKevin had ever interacted with. In the first video, she was the only person CallMeKevin had the phone number of. CallMeKevin began talking to her, trying to become friends or lovers because he needed to get a promotion. He was a bit worried because Jenny was already married to another Sim by the name of Pollination Tech#9, but still went on to throw a party/date with her. She was not very impressed by CallMeKevin, despite him desperately trying to make her like him. His attempts resulted in him forgetting about the food he had put in the microwave, which, in turn, resulted in a fire which Jenny really hated and, consequently, called CallMeKevin the worst time in her life. While this event was pretty important in their relationship, it cannot be considered canon as Kevin loaded a save before the fire. After loading the save, CallMeKevin took the food out of the microwave and continued interacting with Jenny. When they eventually became lovers, CallMeKevin stopped talking to her entirely because he was now guaranteed to get a promotion. It is unknown how Jenny felt about that, since after the date, she became a background character.
Children and pets[]
"I'm prioritising grilled cheese over my children." - Kevin on whether he should buy a microwave or bath for children.
- zXSNIPERZXz - zXSNIPERZXz was CallMeKevin's daughter and the first child to be born. Much like PoliticalTalk, she was an unwanted child whom their father considered useless and annoying, though they would occasionally have fun together, like dancing in the middle of the night. Upon becoming a teenager, she realized how terrible her life was, though she still seemed to be in good terms with her father. zXSNIPERZXz died of hunger, which did not bother CallMeKevin at all.
"That was a horrible period of time in my life. I guess one has to hit a rock bottom to really be free." - zXSNIPERZXz after aging up.
- PoliticalTalk - PoliticalTalk was CallMeKevin's son. Much like zXSNIPERZXz, he was an unwanted child. Unlike zXSNIPERZXz, PoliticalTalk has never had fun with CallmeKevin and appeared to be his least favorite child. Though both he and zXSNIPERZXz were treated very poorly (if they were even treated at all), he was not as disappointed in life after aging up as his sister was. When PoliticalTalk died, CallMeKevin could not remember his name until he looked at his gravestone, once again showing CallMeKevin's callousness.
- Test Tube 1 and Test Tube 2 - Test Tube 1 is Vidcund and CallMeKevin's former son. CallmeKevin found him useless and saw nothing wrong with people coughing on him, as well as putting him on the road. He later gave Test Tube 1 away.
Test Tube 2 was born shortly before Vidcund's death. CallMeKevin hated the baby so much that instead of moving her when she was in the way, he would instead move objects around. Just like with Test Tube 1, CallMeKevin had no problem with putting her on the road. Test Tube 2 was taken away due to CallMeKevin not feeding her. - Hard Worker and Work Horse - Hard Worker and Work Horse were CallMeKevin's cats. They were added to the family for the sole purpose of earning money, hence their names. Hard Worker seems to hate CallMeKevin. Both of the cats were taken away due to CallMeKevin not feeding them. CallMeKevin was sad after that because Hard Worker, along with Work Horse, were the only family members with jobs at the time. A few videos later, CallMeKevin adopted the two again.
- Monster Curious - When CallMeKevin revived Pascal, it was revealed he was still pregnant. Because Pascal was a zombie, the baby was named Monster. It was taken away after a while due to child neglect. CallMeKevin swore to find Monster and bring it back because he didn't even get a chance to ruin its life. In This is the darkest mod in sims history, CallMeKevin adopted Monster. The baby was roasted and eaten by him.
Others[]
- Lazlo - Lazlo was Vidcund's brother. He and Pascal both drowned in CallMeKevin's pool.
- Pascal - Pascal is Vidcund's brother. After drowning in the swimming pool, Pascal was revived as a zombie. Kevin was shocked to find out that he still had a baby alive inside of Pascal. Pascal somehow died again despite being a zombie, so CallMeKevin revived him again. They don't seem to get along at all. In I made naked dead people run a restaurant for profit, they fought a lot. After Pascal died again, CallMeKevin smashed his urn.
- Pollination Tech#9 Smith - Pollination Tech#9 is an alien and Jenny's husband. When CallMeKevin wanted to call Jenny and ask her on a date, Pollination Tech#9 answered and told him Jenny was at work. This made CallMeKevin a bit nervous since he thought this was her husband, which he was.
- Marion Straight - Marion is a pizza deliverer, whom Kevin decided to befriend for the same reasons he wanted to befriend Jenny: to get a promotion.
- Nanny - CallMeKevin needed a nanny because he didn't want to take care of his own children. Despite only having 300 simoleons to his name, he still hired one. He was disappointed in her because she was very inept at her job, not taking care of the children almost at all. Despite her complete incompetence, she still had the audacity to call him out because he didn't have enough money to pay her. After taking an item from CallMeKevin, she went home. She did come back the next video, still being very bad at her job. She complained about CallMeKevin not paying her because he spent the money on groceries, and after that, she asked him if he wanted to hang out.
- Repo-man - Because CallMeKevin doesn't have a lot of money, he can't pay his bills most of the time, and as a result, a Repo-man occasionally comes to his house and takes away his stuff.
- Edward Fuchs - Edward is a Sim CallMeKevin tried to socialise with back in the grocery store. Despite being ignored by Edward, CallMeKevin still got his phone number. He tried kidnapping Fuchs by placing him in the barn, but Fuchs did not stay even with the pen locked because he was technically leaving the lot.
- Rival Mime - Being a mime, CallMeKevin had a rival mime who wanted to take over his corner with an invisible sword. They fought twice, with CallMeKevin winning both times.
- General Buzz Grunt - Buzz is CallMeKevin's neighbor who came to his lot and immediately got trapped in the swimming pool. Somehow, Buzz managed to escape the pool, as he came to CallMeKevin's grilled cheese restaurant to eat despite him not being able to escape. When CallMeKevin came back home, Buzz was in the pool again.
- Vidcund clones - CallMeKevin would occasionally come to the barn to slap a clone without Kevin actually controlling him. The clones were the reason why CallMeKevin left his lot, as he thought this was too much for him.
- Gary Walton - Gary was one of the Sims CallMeKevin had good relationship with. Their relationship became stronger after CallMeKevin moved back to Strangetown and decided to flirt with Gary. The two clearly had feelings for one another and even woo-hooed twice.
Crimes[]
CallMeKevin Curious has committed numerous crimes, either purposefully or accidentally:
- Attempted murder - One of CallMeKevin's most notable crimes, his multiple attempts to kill Vidcund to see his ghost. He had tried everything to end Vidcund's life, though this only resulted in failure.
- Murder - CallMeKevin has indirectly killed several people by letting them drown in the pool.
- Hostage taking - CallMeKevin once held Vidcund hostage.
- Child neglect - CallMeKevin does not care for his alien children at all. He almost never feeds them, he couldn't care less about their education, and was willing to put a baby on the road just because it existed. His horrible parenting resulted in zXSNIPERZXz's death, as she died of hunger.
- Tax evasion - Due to him being extremely poor, CallMeKevin very rarely pays his bills.
- Terrible restaurant conditions - The restaurant Grilled Cheese Good was in horrible shape and a potential hazard for both customers and employees. In fact, because of the restaurant not even having a fire alarm, a Sim burned to death.
- Disrespect for the dead - CallMeKevin's cruel treatment of his dead husband and the dead husband's brother is a crime.
- Human cloning - CallMeKevin cloned himself, as well as Vidcund. Such act is illegal in most countries.
- Unethical human experimentation - CallMeKevin conducted experiments on numerous individuals, mostly Vidcund though.
- Animal cruelty - CallMeKevin experimented on a bigfoot, or at the very least held it hostage.
- Burglary - CallMeKevin broke inside people's homes numerous times.
- Arson - CallMeKevin purposefully set people's belongings on fire.
