The Sims: Castaway Stories

Shipwrecked and Single:

When you start this mode, you get three choices to be your main character:

1. The preset male character, David Bennet.

2. The preset female character, Jessica Knight.

3. Make your own Sim by clicking on the Create-A-Sim icon in the bottom left of the screen. This allows you to create every feature of your Sim, including hair colour, style, skin colour, tatoos and clothes. you can also choose their starsign, aspiration and Turn-Ons and -Offs.

As soon as you have chosen your character, you will see a cut-scene in which the ship, The Solomon Queen, is shipwrecked. You are lucky and float away on a steamer trunk, away from the burning wreck of the ship. Another cut-scene follows this, where your character will float ashore and wake up on Felicity Island.

Chapter 1: Almost Paradise

Your character will say somethings and then (s)he spots a hatchet lying on the ground. Your first task is to pick this up. The hatchet is now added to the Story Rewards section in the Rewards tab on the HUD. Then you must head over the the far right side (from sea) and dig out the steamer trunk that you floated in on. You can store food in here and write in your diary. This also is added to the Story Rewards tab. Now that you have picked up the steamer trunk, it is in your Inventory. You must place this on the beach, as a small turorial will explain. It is a good idea to lay it on the hard rock riigth next to where you found it, but you can put it elsewhere. Here, your character needs a drink, so go to a nearby coconut tree and select 'Drink Coconut Juice'. After this easy taks, shimmy back up the tree to colect more. The camera will now pan around the beach stopping at bits of wood, which you must now chop up. try to chop every piece to save time later. Now go into Barter Mode (F2) and click on the Survival tab. then buy the campfire and a Lay-To. Your next goal is to start a fire. Go to the campfire and select 'Light Fire'. Then, select the Lay-To and select 'Sleep'. This will trigger another cut-scene, where some monkeys wreck your camp, and end this chapter.

Chapter 2: I Will Survive

Unless you have more than 25 resources, you must chop up some more wood. There is also some bamboo which you may want to pick up, and then you must buy a trash pit. You must then clean up camp by clicking on every single piece of rubbsh and then clicking on the trash pit and select 'Light fire'. Now you must swim in the ocean, to clean off all of the muck. After a while, your Sim decides that they are hungry, and tell you to spear some fish. Go to a shallower part of the ocean, and click here. Then, select 'Spear Fish'. When your Sim has fish, they ask you to cook it, so direct your Sim to the campfire and select Have Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner ... and then Poached Cod. After all of this, you must examine the debris near where you found the bamboo. Your Sim makes this into the base of a raft, and then lay the bamboo over it. This is the end of this chapter.

Chapter 3: Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Click on the sand and select 'Dig in Sand'. On your first go, you will find a machete (Story reward) which allows you to cut through the bamboo blocking the exit. Cut all of the bamboo to make more resources. You can now travel to Broken Wings, where you can find a map which allows immediate travel to-and-through places that you have already been to. Click on the Simian City link. Her you will find all of the monkeys who wrecked your camp. Click on their idol and select any action. A fight will commence and you will lose. You run away and contemplate about the fight.You decide to lure the monkeys away with bananas. Pick bananas off the nearby tree, and click on the two monkeys on the tree and select 'Give Banana' then do the same for the last one. You can then take the idol without a threat. Return home to finish the chapter.
