Alice and Kev



Alice and Kev is the story of a homeless family in The Sims 3 created by Robin Burkinshaw a British web design student. The story follows Alice and her father, Kev. Alice is a loser, unlucky, clumsy and above all miserable. Her father, Kev, is mean-spirited, quick to anger, and inappropriate. He also dislikes children, and he’s insane.. They live in an abandoned park. Kev and Alice wander around this virtual city, sleeping on benches and digging through garbage bins.

It is an experiment in playing a homeless family in The Sims 3 based on the old ‘poverty challenge’ idea from The Sims 2.

The story attracted a lot of notice, averaging 100 or more comments per post by people who seem to genuinely care about this duo. And prompted the author to promote charities that support homelessness.
