In 2009, Robin Burkinshaw launched his blog-styled webcomic about a family he made in ''[[The Sims|The Sims 3]]''. Inspired by the Poverty Challenge invented by players of The Sims 2, he made two Sims and placed them into a lot made to look like an abandoned park, took away their remaining money, and then watched over them, seeing if they could survive. These two Sims were Alice, [[The Woobie|a kind young girl who suffers from low self-esteem]], and Kev, [[Jerkass|her hot-headed insane father who hates children]] and is desperately searching for love.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]
* [[All of the Other Reindeer|All Of The Other Sims]]: With (very) few exceptions.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* [[The Atoner]]: Subverted. As the end of his life approaches, Kev seeks out old acquaintances to say a few last words — it turns out he just wants to insult them again. Except [[Tear Jerker|one]].
* [[Bi the Way]]: Kev
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]:
** Kev dies of old age, but one touching act before his death is bitter-sweet for sure. And although she has a tough life ahead of her, Alice will be able to have a (relatively) stable life.
** One episode, Ghost Story, involves Kev finding a woman he seems to really hit it off with. She thinks he is funny, and they talk for hours — but she is also a ghost, and vanishes forever the moment sun comes up. The only woman that could love him is dead.
* [[Byronic Hero]]: Kev. Deconstructed, because his byronic traits are shown in a very negative light
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Kev. However...
* [[Child -Hater]]: Kev
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Kev and arguably Zedadias.
* [[Crazy Homeless People]]: Kev. Alice is also homeless but not crazy at all.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Jerkass]]: Kev
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Kev can be this at times
* [[Looking for Love In All Thethe Wrong Places]]: Kev
* [[Machinomic]]
* [[The Messiah]]: Alice
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
** Even Kev gets a few moments of Woobieness.
* [[Throw It In]]: Virtually all of the events in the game happened without the author's control. All he did was take a step back and watch the story unfold.
* [[VideogameVideo Game Caring Potential]]: yes, indeed. Of course, the entire Sims franchise is founded on players getting invested in their sims.
