🥲🥲🥲

Yup, nothing at all...

😢😢😢

Yes 🥺

Something happened 🥲

Absolutely!

Kodex slumps. Beren rubs Kodex's arm and talks softly with them. TheSims4

Kodex: But it was doomed from the very start. I am a romantic, which Eve is not. I am lazy, which Eve is not.

Beren: You're not lazy. You may not fit well into this society, but that's not your fault.

Kodex: I think Eve tried to say something similar, but the point is that Eve and I are different.

It was so sad to break them up 🥲 but this will be better for both of them. I had actually planned from the very beginning to break them up, because they didn't work that well together, but then I started to hesitate and thinking that maybe they can work on it, but eventually I came to this decision

It really hurt playing this 🥲

At the Quad. Kodex is crying. Beren rubs Kodex's arms, to comfort Kodex. TheSims4

Present day

Kodex: You were the first one I told when Eve and I started to date... So I wanted you to be the first one to know that they broke up with me.

Beren: I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm here for you.

I'm sorry 🥲

Kodex starts crying. TheSims4

Eve: I have had enough.

Kodex: What?

There's always potential if you really love each other, as long as both have the will and energy to work on it

Eve looks straight at Kodex. TheSims4

Eve: Will you? You know that our relationship has not always been what either of us have wanted, and we have tried different things to make it better, for both of us. But it feels like you are not taking it seriously. You cannot just promise things and not uphold those promises. You know what?...

Well, would you evict a romantic partner? 🤔

Kodex's eyes have turned white and neutral. TheSims4

Kodex: Okay, I will do better. I promise.

So, any new hypotheses about why they're sad and wanted to talk with Beren? 🧐

Eve talks and Kodex listens. TheSims4

Eve: I know that you cannot manage a regular eight hours a day, five days a week job, but there are alternatives to that. I would not mind if you did not bring in money if you 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 did some household work and maybe had a hobby or something. And watching TV is not a hobby, it is a pastime.

a large white house with a lush green lawn in front of it and a person saying ahhhh . Alt: A person is kicked out of a house.

Eve looks straight at Kodex. TheSims4

Eve: Kodex... I am not sure how to say this, but... you do not pay for your expenses. Which is mostly electricity, but still.

Kodex's eyes turn green and circumflex. Eve still has white, neutral eyes. TheSims4

Eve: Well, they are making changes. I will need to rent out two rooms.

Kodex: Oh, so we are getting house mates?

Eve: ...

Both Kodex and Eve have white, neutral eyes. Eve gestures as they talk. TheSims4

Eve: You have probably heard that they are making changes when it comes to student housing and other accommodations in the campus area.

Kodex: No, I have not.

Kodex and Eve sit down on the sofa. The TV is still on. TheSims4

Eve: Could you turn off the TV?

Kodex: Oh, of course.

Have you had the same assumption throughout this whole update so far? Including when Kodex texted Beren

bsky.app/profile/theb...

Eve comes into the living room, where Kodex is standing, watching TV. TheSims4

Eve: Kodex. Can we talk?

Kodex: Sure.

Eve's house, Britechester. Eve has a neutral expression and is sitting in front of the computer in the office on the top floor.

Eve stands up.

Eve hovers towards the stairs.

Eve looks at their phone as they hover down the stairs. TheSims4

The night before

Beren comes up to Kodex. TheSims4

Kodex: Thank you for coming here.

Beren: Of course. You wanted... needed to tell me something.

Kodex: I hope that this is not weird, since we have not hung out much lately... But I wanted you to be the first one I tell about this.

Beren has arrived to the Quad and walks towards Kodex. TheSims4

They look so sad 😭

Kodex drags their finger under one of their eyes on their face-screen, as if they're trying to dry off the tears. TheSims4
