Forum Discussion
Thanks @mcrudd :)
Kevin is having some ideas about the future with Mayumi too!
He never had these wants with Zoe.

Being an overachiever, Kevin has a plan.
(Being a respectful guy, Kevin isn't assuming Mayumi will say yes, but he's hoping.)
Harvestfest at the Pancakes' with their toddler Alonzo, and some good friends!
Next on Kevin's simoleon-earning plan: find a way to start selling sushi independently. Oo, and tiramisu. He can't afford to open up a restaurant, but here's something not too far off
Whether it was watching his friends' lives moving forward, or whether it was a near-zap from the coffeemaker he was grudgingly fixing, Kevin wondered if his life was moving forward too or if he was just spinning his wheels
In the meantime, his two besties came over to remind him that being a bachelor was okay too.

Kevin is embarrassed to invite Mayumi to his thrown-together bachelor pad. He wants to save up for somewhere nicer to bring her, and to possibly invite her to join him in someday.
There's a place down the street, Raffia Quinta, that's on the market and that Kevin has his eye on. He needs to save up about 12,000 more simoleons to buy it.
He'd always vaguely wanted to move to a nicer place once he was well established in his career and could afford it, but well, now the motivation is a bit stronger and more immediate.
He swore he'd work his hardest every day, until he could buy the house. But no work today. Today is Harvestfest, which itself will provide him a nice simoleon boost!

Kevin planned to spend most of the day cooking at home and letting the seed packets accumulate so he can sell them. He is going to take a feast over to the Pancakes' house.
He was delighted to discover that you don't need an oven to make Tiramisu!

In the midst of his carefully planned day however, he received an awkwardly timed invitation for a date, from his current favorite source of awkwardness... he couldn't say no.
Every time I click on Mayumi while playing Kevin, this option pops up on the first screen. I guess he's serious about this one. He decided to float the idea, only in very general terms
https://i.postimg.cc/XqTjqXzq/Screen-Shot-2023-05-31-at-7-29-22-PM.png
They were only speaking in very general terms, but she seemed awkwardly appreciative of the thought
https://i.postimg.cc/1zZ8M7MX/05-31-23-7-29-44-PM.png
Kevin returned home and finished preparing the feast. Hey, apparently cooking three gourmet dishes on a holiday counts as "at a single event" for the aspiration!

And he can now cook the rest of the sushi menu!!!

Huh... some of these are dishes Kevin hasn't tasted...
I guess we didn't have to run all over Mt. Komorebi to learn sushi recipes, as you do with the City Living ones :/
They seem to just be part of the gourmet cooking skill.
Oh well, going to Mt. Komorebi was fun, and he met someone special there. No harm done.

Even though he was out for part of the day, he still got a nice S1800 sum from the gnomes and seed packets. It's a start.

Homemade sushi and tiramisu stand!

No one bought anything at the park. But in front of his house, he had better luck.
"It's so local," celebrities enthused.
https://i.postimg.cc/mZ6hKgV0/05-31-23-8-41-56-PM.png
Kevin was surprised at how much he could mark up the prices.
https://i.postimg.cc/CxpMVB86/Screen-Shot-2023-06-02-at-2-51-10-PM.png
Pretty soon the table was empty.
Kevin was hungry, needed a shower and a shave, and it was almost time for work.

Zoe, you have the worst timing sometimes.

She had some big news... looks like she's moving on with her life, too.

He resolved to continue with his plan and to move forward, hopefully with Mayumi, if it was what she wanted and if they were truly right together.
But working hard every day, plus spending several hours a day on food preparation and sales, was taking its toll.

"I can put some dinner on--" began Kevin.
"No, dude, I just want cold cuts," said Johnny.
"Bob, can I cook you something?"
Bob looked at Johnny's plate, and at Kevin's exhausted face. "You know, I'm in the mood for cold cuts too."
https://i.postimg.cc/vDFyMk46/Screen-Shot-2023-06-02-at-8-27-09-PM.png
And some affirmation came from work! Level 7! You can do it Kevin!
https://i.postimg.cc/VvSszX42/Screen-Shot-2023-05-31-at-8-50-50-PM.png
(Kevin stealthily sticks to the assembly and decoration part of pastry-making, and delegates the actual baking to some unsuspecting assistants...)
This promotion came with not one, not two, but three pot racks! Since Kevin has a pot rack already, he sold the ones he got with his promotion. That netted him another tidy sum, over 1000 simoleons on top of his promotion bonus. Looks like it won't be long before he can call up a realtor.
