Just so everyone’s clear: 1: Kevin finds a glitch that allows him to make characters fall in love with the grim reaper and other mythical beings 2: Kevin turns Jim Pickens into a literal god because of his relationship with the grim reaper 3: EA patches it so that characters can’t fall in love with the grim reaper anymore 4: People are PISSED 5: EA effectively undoes the patch, adds features, and sells it as an expansion
It wasn't long ago that the Sims team was trying their best to pretend Kevin didn't exist on Twitter, and now here we are with a dedicated DLC named after him. Real growth; brings a tear to my eye.
After delving a little further into the Sims content creator community...while Kevin is far more unhinged then most, sadistic mayhem seems to be an inherent part of playing the Sims. No matter how wholesome the person, they all inevitably get angry at one particular Sim and decide they need to die. Creating drama between Sims, up to and including ruining someone's life because things have been too boring, happens often enough that I wonder if it can be used as a comment on the duplicity of human nature. I'm glad the Sims team is finally acknowledging the darker parts of our nature that Kevin has been slowly indoctrinating us into accepting. One day, God willing, they may even add the ability to barbecue a baby. ETA: Oh, and just as a side note, in the expansion that was about owning real estate and being a landlord there is a pre-made tenant that looks suspiciously like Jim Pickens. The Sims team adds lots of little callouts to their most popular creators, they're very connected with their community, so I wouldn't be shocked if someone made Jim, but couldn't explicitly link him to Kevin for obvious reasons.
@booknerd1896 Ah...I don't play the Sims, just watch other people play, so I had to go searching the wiki. All I remembered was people in the comments of someone else's video pointing out that a tenant looked like Jim, and when I eventually saw them I was tickled at how close they looked. Unfortunately this search has led me to find out the traits of that Sim have nothing to do with Jim. The tenants name is Steven Pawn, and since he is A) the highest tier in the Writing skill and B) literally labeled "secludedwriter" in the game files, he is definitely a Stephen King reference (Pawns and Kings both being chess pieces too.) However, his appearance and last name work well enough to be a Jim reference, so I believe it is acceptable we continue to gaslight both ourselves and the public at large that Stephen is a Jim callout. Perhaps this will annoy the Sims team enough to include an actual Jim Pickens callout one day.
Jim has gone from being in an on-and-off situationship with the Grim Reaper that would make Olive Spector proud, to straight (well, not quite) up stealing his job.
The thing about this expansion too is that Kevin literally predicted it like a few years ago. I think during the wedding stories he made a skit about the "Sims 4 Funeral Pack" 😭😭 the sims team definitely loves Kevin they just refuse to admit it
When I first saw this DLC I 1. Was super hyped about this cool new idea 2. Immediately thought of Kevin 3. Immediately thought of that one gag Kevin made years ago about a "funeral pack"
One thing I love about Jim Pickens is that he suddenly has blue eyes and a different face. You never know what body Jim will possess next, only that it'll include gray/white balding hair and glasses, probably. I guess he's gotta switch it up occasionally to avoid getting caught for his crimes against fellow Sims 🤣
I would argue Jim didn't actually kill anyone this time. Anyone freezing so much they actually turn blue and still not go inside or put on their clothes have no one else but themselves to blame. It isn't like Jim had them jump in the pole and got rid of the ladder up (I remember him building walls around the pool a few times as well). His restaurant poisoned the entire neighborhood. He killed so many people, but I don't think there is a single case where he could be arrested here. The only law he broke was the law of physics when he swam in the floor.
the cuts in this video are so funny omg... the silence at the zoom to the flames on the cat and the pause as the baby has half it's head under the sofa.... editor i love you this was so good
Well you know its gonna be a good video when the title alone makes you go "Oh No" and then you forgot that you have amnosia and shouldn't be surprised.
Y'all remember that time (shortly after CallMeKevin did it tbh) where the Sims team tried to patch it so you couldn't romance/sleep with the Grim Reaper? Cause this now makes me think they're starting to rethink that change lol
I can only imagine the evil smile Kevin made when he found out this death dlc existed. Also I love how Kevin’s first reaction when investigating a dead body to check its pockets for money.🤣
I love how gifting Frogs got Grim to fall for Jim again, even though that's the number one thing the Cult prohibits. Maybe because Jim always knew that frogs were the key to Grim's heart, and he didn't want anyone to steal his love from him!
I love that Jim gets seemingly the perfect job for him, but doesn't try and does all the killing off the clock. It's just not the same when you're being paid, there's more heart to it when it's in the free time
makes jim younger flirts with a single grim reaper gets grilled cheese gets together with the grim reaper yeah close enough welcome back classic kevin sims content
the way i SCREECHED when i saw this video had been uploaded, I’ve been checking this channel weekly since life and death came out to see kevin’s take on this long-awaited funeral pack! does anyone else remember hearing him talk about wanting a funeral pack in older sims videos? i know i do lol
I remember when Kevin made a parody trailer for a sims 4 funeral pack, thinking maxis could never do an expansion pack centered around death... A couple of years passed since then and what do you know: they actually made it! Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction, I swear
Kevin trying to make Grim Reaper fall in love with him Having multiple children together [Along with Grimey] A new interesting cat... Is Kevin doing an interest reboot now isn't he?
Glad to see EA bowed to public pressure, and gave us the Jim Pickens's DLC. I mean they kind of dropped the ball by not calling it the "Dear Leader" DLC as voted on the forums. But still its gratifying to see a publisher that actually listens to its fans. Instead of making random cash grabs full of bugs no one wants... Who wants to go to Batuu!
This is the most normal Sim video Kevin has ever posted. He's making his sim to work, build relationships and fall in love, make and raise a family (even adopts a cat!, and finally meet his end
0:04 "It's called Sims 4: Murder & Mayhem" It's unfortunate that this is not an official DLC (it's actually a mod), since then EA would be forced to acknowledge Kevin (these are his specialties) 🔪💥 8:16 "I need to 'scry for assignment', whatever that means" Scrying is "foretelling the future using a crystal ball or other reflective object or surface" (like mirrors or water). D&D even has a spell called Scrying that uses one of those things as the material component (specifically "a crystal ball, a silver mirror, or a font filled with holy water") 🔮⛲🪞 15:19 "Let's go try for a baby in the shower so I can multitask" Making life with death is the ultimate irony (and a testament to Jim's abilities) 👶
FINALLY! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE PACK CAME OUT! I remember when kevin did a joke in the weddings pack about a funeral pack, and now they made it real lol
The Jrim Reaper?! I love that guy!! Also really good to to see how much this DLC was MADE for you/Jim. Also, HA!!!! That bit at 5:35 where you put your OWN picture into the frame made me LOL. Your Sims/Jim Pickins content always cracks me up! 😂😂😂😂😂 Though, truthfully, your FUNNIEST VIDEO, of ALL TIME (in my honest opinion), was your; "Red Dead Redemption 2: Bears spawning constantly" video. I genuinely, literally, had to pause it repeatedly, because I was laughing so hard that it began to hurt, and needed time to compose myself before playing the rest of it. The first time I watched it, I was laughing so hard that it easily ranks within the top 10 - top 5 times that I'd laughed the hardest in my life. But whatever the game, I usually know that I'm going to enjoy it. You're a fantastic content creator, and hilarious guy! Hope you're doing well, in your personal life, Kevin. You keep up the fantastic work on your videos, and I'll keep watching 'em!! 🙂🙂🙂
Just so everyone’s clear:
1: Kevin finds a glitch that allows him to make characters fall in love with the grim reaper and other mythical beings
2: Kevin turns Jim Pickens into a literal god because of his relationship with the grim reaper
3: EA patches it so that characters can’t fall in love with the grim reaper anymore
4: People are PISSED
5: EA effectively undoes the patch, adds features, and sells it as an expansion
Im glad there back
Jim's relationship to Grim wasn't the reason the book of chaos existed.
Edit: also 5+ years pass...
Im really they cut bro a real good check for repacking the same stuff and selling it 😊
You can't do something they wanted to make money off without giving the money.

It wasn't long ago that the Sims team was trying their best to pretend Kevin didn't exist on Twitter, and now here we are with a dedicated DLC named after him. Real growth; brings a tear to my eye.
My exact thought when I saw this DLC was “Did they finally acknowledge Kevin exists?”
After delving a little further into the Sims content creator community...while Kevin is far more unhinged then most, sadistic mayhem seems to be an inherent part of playing the Sims.

@@PointsofData Wait really? Which tenant?
@@PointsofData You mean Steven Pawn? He's named after Stephen King but he does look like Jim.

i want you to know that the dlc showcase premiere chat was full of people chanting "PRAISE BE JIM PICKENS"
they honestly should just add a serial killer DLC
Hail dear leader
Jim and Grim are so back
They were never apart in my heart
Grimey too!!
& Grimey 2 too!
YES! Finally, the old duo is back together. Can't wait for that new juicy Grim x Jim content
The OG power couple together again! Or maybe this is the prequel to how they first met? The timeline does like to get a bit wonky around here.
He back brother and soon me
Who are you?
The only Sims couple that matters.
Jim has gone from being in an on-and-off situationship with the Grim Reaper that would make Olive Spector proud, to straight (well, not quite) up stealing his job.
It's very jim though
He's just cutting out the middle man
Oliver Spector and jim pickens would love each other
the new adult Jim Pickens looks INCREDIBLY cursed
Yeah it makes me so uncomfortable😭 He looks like a knockoff Jim
Yeah I cant get over it he's like yassified jim😭😭#notmyjim
He got the EA townie update makeover
This is teen Jim, he’ll grow into the face :)
The thing about this expansion too is that Kevin literally predicted it like a few years ago. I think during the wedding stories he made a skit about the "Sims 4 Funeral Pack" 😭😭 the sims team definitely loves Kevin they just refuse to admit it
They REFUSE 😂 like at this point they need to just call him! 😂
Like why else would they still put out expansion packs besides making a quick buck?
@@venimprincessto call him Kevin?
I immediately thought of this when they announced the expansion pack I could not wait for Kevin to play it
They did a questionnaire a few years back, and one option for a question was a grim reaper career.
So happy to see Grim and Jim back together. Their love was meant to be. It transcends everything, even death!
"do you think we are soulmates in every universe?" or it went smth like that
Kevin, the Sims, AND his baby-kicking clip?? We're getting all the classics together.
Finally, Kevin can put "fun" in funenal like he wanted since Wedding stories pack came out!
When I first saw this DLC I
1. Was super hyped about this cool new idea
2. Immediately thought of Kevin
3. Immediately thought of that one gag Kevin made years ago about a "funeral pack"
Anyways IM SOOOO GLADDD YOURE FINALLY PLAYING THIS PACK!! I hope you do more episodes on this :)
"I'm blue, I believe I'm going to die" I can't unhear that
Feels like the world reset. Grimey returns now multiplied, a new funky cat, and Grim love.
One thing I love about Jim Pickens is that he suddenly has blue eyes and a different face. You never know what body Jim will possess next, only that it'll include gray/white balding hair and glasses, probably. I guess he's gotta switch it up occasionally to avoid getting caught for his crimes against fellow Sims 🤣
Soooooo...just a normal Kevin Sims video? I'm sold.
Not like he needed a death specific DLC to kill everyone.
That's why we're here to watch.
I would argue Jim didn't actually kill anyone this time. Anyone freezing so much they actually turn blue and still not go inside or put on their clothes have no one else but themselves to blame.
It isn't like Jim had them jump in the pole and got rid of the ladder up (I remember him building walls around the pool a few times as well). His restaurant poisoned the entire neighborhood. He killed so many people, but I don't think there is a single case where he could be arrested here. The only law he broke was the law of physics when he swam in the floor.
Kevin here's a tip: now ghosts can torture other sims. Maybe it's Jim's time...
He's already been a ghost before.
@@Sailor-Khione Two times actually
Not our Dear Leader! 😂
@@Sailor-Khione not with this pack
Remember back when Kevin asked for “My Funeral Stories” back during the My Wedding Stories episode? Welp Kevin it looks like Sims team listened.
I get happy to see your uploads. I have to go to a work party and I need the laughs before I must fake and then leave to handle that one thing.
What thing?.... OP, what thing are you talking about?...
Did dexter Morgan write this comment
I feel it with my whole heart
so we all have now work parties which are terrible :P
just make the best of it and enjoy yourself
"Now I am become Jim, destroyer of Sims, woohooer of Death." - J. Robert Oppenheimer
"Stop patching my fun." 😂 felt.
the cuts in this video are so funny omg... the silence at the zoom to the flames on the cat and the pause as the baby has half it's head under the sofa.... editor i love you this was so good
18:40 🤣Please have the cat be a reoccurring character. That's amazing.
The cat is absolutely sending me everytime it’s on screen
i literally couldn't stop laughing after its creation 😭
We're in the best timeline!
Jim and Grim back together, Grimey exists again. I love this
7:30 Grim Pickens is looking pretty good. Or is it The Jim Reaper? Either way, fine attire for the Dear Leader.
Well you know its gonna be a good video when the title alone makes you go "Oh No" and then you forgot that you have amnosia and shouldn't be surprised.
Y'all remember that time (shortly after CallMeKevin did it tbh) where the Sims team tried to patch it so you couldn't romance/sleep with the Grim Reaper? Cause this now makes me think they're starting to rethink that change lol
I can only imagine the evil smile Kevin made when he found out this death dlc existed. Also I love how Kevin’s first reaction when investigating a dead body to check its pockets for money.🤣
Jim Pickens became the uncanny valley version of himself
I love how gifting Frogs got Grim to fall for Jim again, even though that's the number one thing the Cult prohibits.
Maybe because Jim always knew that frogs were the key to Grim's heart, and he didn't want anyone to steal his love from him!
I love that Jim gets seemingly the perfect job for him, but doesn't try and does all the killing off the clock.
It's just not the same when you're being paid, there's more heart to it when it's in the free time
makes jim younger
flirts with a single grim reaper
gets grilled cheese
gets together with the grim reaper
yeah close enough welcome back classic kevin sims content
From marrying death to becoming death himself, Jim has had quite the life
the way i SCREECHED when i saw this video had been uploaded, I’ve been checking this channel weekly since life and death came out to see kevin’s take on this long-awaited funeral pack! does anyone else remember hearing him talk about wanting a funeral pack in older sims videos? i know i do lol

Kevin, "Explore the underground crypts?"
Jim, "SUPPLIMENTAL, IM IN THE TUNNELS. I WAS EXPLORING AND I GOT LOST"
8:22 love the doctor who reference. Jim Pickens could be a time lord tbh
He'd make a great master
Me: *rocking back and forth* Blonde Jim can't hurt you. Blonde Jim can't hurt you.
YESSSS so happy! I literally gasped when you said Grimey
I knew Jim was a timelord.
He's more The Master than The Doctor
As soon as I saw the death pack I’ve been waiting. Did not disappoint
Kevin: Posts Sims vid of Life & Death Expansion
Me: Oh sh*t, here we go 🤩
always great when kevin gives us a look into jim's world. he's really something special.
16:42 Grimey... that rings a bell doesn't it now?
Reincarnation
19:12 Looks like you adopted one of Speens' kittens (See GrayStillPlays)
Omg you’re right 😂
Lmao Spleen is an icon
I've been waiting for this video for so long!! The first thing I thought when TS4 announced this DLC was "now Kevin can do his job in peace" lol 😂
Jim answering a phone call mid woohoo is outrageous
I am happiest when Kevin returns to the basics... the ones that he used to love so much. The vibe here is great.
Kevin trying to make Grim Reaper fall in love with him
Having multiple children together [Along with Grimey]
A new interesting cat...
Is Kevin doing an interest reboot now isn't he?
Glad to see EA bowed to public pressure, and gave us the Jim Pickens's DLC. I mean they kind of dropped the ball by not calling it the "Dear Leader" DLC as voted on the forums.

Been desperate for this video since the pack was first announced!!! 😂😂😂
Also: I legitimately thought Jim tried to make the sandwich an heirloom. LMAO!
This is the most normal Sim video Kevin has ever posted. He's making his sim to work, build relationships and fall in love, make and raise a family (even adopts a cat!, and finally meet his end
I knew Kevo would eventually get to this pack
The instant it was announced, I knew it was for him
How long ago did it actually get released?
@@KittyCatsAreSuperAdorable It was released on Halloween
@@ruthmcnally310 ah. im surprised he didnt do a video on it sooner then.
classic Kevin video!! love all the new stuff but this is my sleep routine. love the comfort TH-camr fr
I can just imagine the devs making the dlc, thinking "oh Kevin is gonna love this!"
If kevin became a sims only channel I wouldn’t be mad
People when the pack comes out: Kevin!
0:04 "It's called Sims 4: Murder & Mayhem" It's unfortunate that this is not an official DLC (it's actually a mod), since then EA would be forced to acknowledge Kevin (these are his specialties) 🔪💥

I think he is playing the official dlc but the dlc he is playing is just called "Life and death"
I’m glad Jim and Grimm have rekindled their situationship.
The prophesized funeral expansion hath come, Kevin truly is a clairvoyant genius
Just what I needed today! I have missed your sims uploads so much Kevin!
My immediate thought when they announced this dlc was "Wow! A DLC just for CallmeKevin!"
Congrats on the success of your channel! I love your videos and watch it all the time
Jim looks so fecking uncanny it's scaring me.
omg!! i missed sadistic sims gameplay, im so happy to see how much youve retained your style!!
I was more excited to see Kevin play this pack than the pack itself and he did not disapoint
Cute, that Grim has a skeleton bunny purse and Jim has a bird one!
The new Jim looks very cursed
FINALLY! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE PACK CAME OUT! I remember when kevin did a joke in the weddings pack about a funeral pack, and now they made it real lol
Jim Pickens falling more and more in love with Grim Reaper for 20 mins and 57 seconds. 😅😅😅😅😅
That Jim is an imposter 😢 doesnt look like the dear leader we know and love
I just started the video and I'm like this is not THE Jim Pickens! Where is our true leader 😢
its okay hes just young! and also dying his hair and changing his clothes to impress grim
It's a Disney remake version of Jim
9:25 wait, where does this frog come from? I really hope Jim didn't look for it, that's illegal
Don't change yourself for Grim, Jim, you're perfect just the way you are.
This expansion was surely made for Jim, I hope he makes more than a video
Perfect timing Kevin, my Cat just died and this was the death-related content i was looking for to cheer me up. Lol..
4:33 This background music brings back the good ol' memories of fishing with paw.
The second I saw the title of the dlc the other day, my immediate thought was “Oh this was definitely made for Kevin”
A new sims video from kevin on my birthday...best birthday gift i could ever ask for
Honestly, you’re my comfort youtuber. Anytime I feel sad I just watch one of your videos
This has brought me intense joy
Phew. ‘Pokémon healing noise’ I needed that Jim Pickens fix
OMFG so excited for this video been waiting for you to do a video about this pack and all the chaos you will inevitably cause with it 😁
that picture of a cat in a frame. please Kevin I need this as a merch!!!
Feck yeah! Just finished rewatching (most) of the Sims 4 Playlist. I'm honestly considering getting a Jim Pickens tattoo, I love the Dear Leader.
You don't know how long I've been waiting for this
Yessss the shoe squeak makes an appearance! I love the editing and music choices
I’ve been waiting for you to make a video ever since this pac dropped 😂
This feels like the greatest Christmas gift I've ever seen
the second the trailer came out for life and death i was so excited for kevin to play it lol
At 7:58 it sounds like he says "What's up Jim?"
Please never stop playing The Sims Kevin. So funny!! I have enjoyed your commentary so much.
0:35 This new Jim pickens looks like if he was in disney artstyle
I dont buy packs anymore until our dear leader Jim reviews them. Thanks ❤
Deadly frozen pool parties AND Grim and Jim romance??? We are SO back boys
The Jrim Reaper?!
I love that guy!!
Also really good to to see how much this DLC was MADE for you/Jim.
Also, HA!!!! That bit at 5:35 where you put your OWN picture into the frame made me LOL. Your Sims/Jim Pickins content always cracks me up! 😂😂😂😂😂
Though, truthfully, your FUNNIEST VIDEO, of ALL TIME (in my honest opinion), was your; "Red Dead Redemption 2: Bears spawning constantly" video. I genuinely, literally, had to pause it repeatedly, because I was laughing so hard that it began to hurt, and needed time to compose myself before playing the rest of it.
The first time I watched it, I was laughing so hard that it easily ranks within the top 10 - top 5 times that I'd laughed the hardest in my life.
But whatever the game, I usually know that I'm going to enjoy it. You're a fantastic content creator, and hilarious guy! Hope you're doing well, in your personal life, Kevin. You keep up the fantastic work on your videos, and I'll keep watching 'em!! 🙂🙂🙂
I have been anticipating this for SO LONG
Amazing as always Kevin! Thanks for the video!
I’ve been waiting for this since the DLC came out! Your sims videos are the best 😂
I have been *”evil laugh”* waiting for this 😂😂😂😂
