Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: maniac19642003 on November 14, 2007, 12:10:42 am I think that thing looks better than our current bigfoot we get in BV lol. They are some good first pics tho, I'm sure they'll get even more nice pics for that as well.

Oh, I thought you were, visiting the Hungarian EA site ... I was thrilled by the possibility of meeting another Hungarian, but chances are way too small then :) Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Mr Heartache on November 19, 2007, 11:42:14 am I want that monkey, sorry... ape!
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: PegasusDiana on November 19, 2007, 03:02:37 pm I have Sim Castaway's. Someday I might actually get to play it too. lol My son and DIL and grandkids have taken it over, they love it. It reminds me of Gilligan's Island. I have it for Playstation though, so they play it on the PS3. I didn't realize there was a PC verion for the game?
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: xoJessi on November 23, 2007, 09:22:57 am I'm actually excited for this Sim Story! I'm not even touching the other ones but this one has something the actual sims 2 game doesn't offer... which is great.
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: maniac19642003 on January 28, 2008, 09:45:44 pm The German Sims site currently has a contest for Castaway. Not sure if it's only for Germans but they did post quite alot of new Castaway screen shots.
Find it here: EA Germany (http://www.diesims.de/pages.view_page.asp?id=648) The second screen shot holds a secret link to another screen shot which in turn has also a secret link, etc.etc. Just hover your mouse over them to find them all. Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Synerje on January 29, 2008, 09:37:51 am That looks pretty cool actually..
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: mvenatta on January 29, 2008, 04:48:10 pm This looks great! I have the ps2 castaway game, my only real let down is a lack of interpersonal interactions and no children. Does anyone know if you can have families in the stories version?
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: maniac19642003 on January 29, 2008, 07:36:47 pm The Sims Castaway Stories is now for sale and the official SimsStories site has updated with screens, items and a mini-game here: Castaway Stories (http://sims.yahoo.com/about/castawaystories)
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Chaavik on January 30, 2008, 10:00:03 am I also have PS 2 Castaway game, and like mvenatta, I was let down with some aspects of the console game. While the game is entertaining in alot of ways, there is very little to be had in the interpersonal interactions. I had more trouble interacting with another Sim, and when the Sim joins my Sim's tribe, I couldn't switch to that newly joined Sim.
I will give this PC version a try. Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: mvenatta on January 30, 2008, 06:02:03 pm Chaavik, have you tried holding down on the L2 button? On my game this brings up all sims on that lot, then use the directional buttons to select the sim. This only works if the sim is on the lot at that time. I hope this helps.
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: ~Angel~ on January 31, 2008, 05:39:47 pm This is the only "stories" one I have wanted to get, for the PC of course lol. I just think I have got the sims main game, I can make stories on there lol. Oh and of course the reason if I put any other sims stuff onto my comp its gona explode :D
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Wishings on February 01, 2008, 04:57:28 am I'm a bit upset I liked the idea so I bought it. I played the story mode for a bit liked it, but got bored so decided to try freeplay mode. When I went to freeplay mode there is like 3 lots that are to place sims on the rest are community lots. Hardly anything at all Then when I finished the main girl's story there was all these sims and a whole bunch of lots. So I thought cool okay this is a better neighborhood great! ALL of them were community lots and the ones that weren't were already taken by villagers and other premades. So I would've liked it better if they allowed you to create your own lots or at least have some control or give you a lot of lots to start out on. All in all I was a bit disappointed.
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Bev in NY on February 06, 2008, 10:19:18 pm I just got the castways pc game also, and i'm disappointed too...the role play was fun and i finished it with the guy he married one of the tribe girls and they had a baby...well the last home he moved into is where they r....i went to the neighborhood view cuz i wanted to move them and have a existing lot or blank one to do this....like wishings said above...there is only community lots and like four home lots which r already occupied by sims in the game....so u either have to move them out and then move in or move in with them....???? i went to the yahoo site and asked if there was a way to get more lots but nobody has answered me yet...so waiting to find out if u can from someone....otherwise i wish i hadn't spent the 30.00 to get this game...
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: richdre on February 07, 2008, 09:14:15 am YOu can use SimPE to change the lot zoning. I did this and have been playing for several days with no problems. Back up your files before you start. If you need instructions on how to do this I posted a message on Yahoo with instructions.
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Hothnogg on February 08, 2008, 08:38:41 am I wonder if its possible to rip the water files from castaways and put them in sims2, because its way way better reflection etc, some realy stunning lots and a beautiful waterfall.
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: Hothnogg on February 08, 2008, 09:11:50 am Just a couple pics of the water and i love the new plane to play in :)
Title: First Castaway Stories pics Post by: PegasusDiana on February 11, 2008, 07:55:32 am A lot of things look more realistic in it to me. My son thinks the graphics are better on the PS. I like the ones on the PC. I'm still playing in story mode right now. So can't really do too much with the Sim except follow the storyline. But my Orangutan is living with me and we're having a great time. ;)

I saw your post over at the yahoo board and followed it and am greatful for your help. I don't think the game would be as rich as it without being able to play on the lots. Thank you!
