Paul is back and better than ever! After 5 long years of collecting dust, this mod has finally gotten the revamp it deserves with all new dialogue, heart events, portraits, sprites, and sooo much more.
Some of you may know that Paul the Optometrist started in 2019 as a simple mod to put my lovely irl husband in the game. After returning to SDV and seeing all the love my little mod had received, I just had to dust off my long-forgotten modding skills and give it a serious refresh. One super-fun hyperfixation later and we’ve got ourselves an entirely new mod for 1.6!
I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I have and please feel free to reach out with any bugs, questions, or feedback! Thanks!
Paul never dreamed he’d end up in a place like Pelican Town. However, when the search for answers brings him to the valley, he finds that he may discover much more than he was looking for.
Sweet, hard-working, and responsible - Paul brings his love of nature and passion for science to the valley. He is romanceable and has 11 brand new events as well as 6 seasonal outfit variations, a changing schedule, and probably way too many lines of dialogue. (Thank you English Lit degree lol.)
Paul loves good food and is often trying his own unique spin on old recipes. You might also find him in search of coffee to fuel his long hours of reading and research.
His birthday is Fall 13.
