The in-game Kevin couldnt compare, hence why he was demoted to be just another cultist.

[@Manas-co8wl]

Kevin is just his ego. Jim is his essence. By calling Kevin as a third person and Jim Pickens as himself, Kevin is actually renunciating worldly delusions and illusory self-identification with his appearance and personality. We are actually witnessing a spiritual practice dedicated towards true salvation. Each video he uploads with Jim Pickens, he is actively taking a further solid step towards apotheosis.

Hey Kevin, in one of your videos I think I recall you wishing there was a door that people can go in but not out, well technically there is if you go through the annoying trials of the Batuu Vacation, Star Wars pack. There is a door in build mode that sims can only access if they have reached a high rank in either the First Order or The Resistance. I know it works because I did some changes while my sim family were all in the attic and changed the door to the Resistance door. Even though they were all members of the household, they would stomp their feet and complain over and over again at the door being an obstacle when they tried and failed to meet their needs and wants. Nobody but the mother who I did the Batuu Vacation with was able to leave the attic, while everyone else was miserable because there was no beds, bathroom, or kitchen up there as it was an arts and crafts room.
