About The Sims Castaway Stories

Castaway Stories features the choice of either playing in a story-driven mode titled "Shipwrecked and Single" or a more sandbox oriented mode "Wanmami Island".

In the "Shipwrecked and Single" mode, the player is subjected to a semi-linear scenario-driven style of gameplay. The player must choose whether to play as David Bennett, Jessica Knight, or a customized Sim, who boards a cruise ship for singles named Solomon Queen, only to have it crash and leave them drifting on the ocean clinging to a crate. The crate happens to float onto land, after which the player is left to help the Sim survive.

Gameplay on Wanmami Island is much more open-ended, enabling gameplay reminiscent of more traditional Sims games. The player is allowed to design their own Family and start Jobs.

      Do you remember the crack you had to replace in C:Program Files (x86)Electronic ArtsThe Sims Castaway StoriesTSBin ? Go there, right click the SimsCS file, and send to desktop, that will make a shortcut, it will look and work exaclty the same way, except it will say SimsCS . Thats how i did it.

      idk if you’re still trying to fix this but if you are then you can right-click the game icon and go to “Properties”, then where it shows the file name (it should be .exe” with the quotation mark), then type -w after the quote mark. click apply and run the game as administrator, and it will run, albeit in windowed mode! it’s a fix for windows 10 users since the DirectX downloads are glitched for us.

    I have a problem and need your help if you can help me…
    I can’t install this game and the other (sims 2 stories) every time I get after the license confirmation, a message pops up asking for directX 9.0c but I have DirectX 11

    When the game launches and has loaded the main screen, I can only select Learn to Play. The arrows won’t work and if I do select Learn to play, the game crashes… no idea what’s wrong with the file

    The game starts just fine but its in a really small windowed mode. I tried turning the windowed mode off but it just zooms in so far that all I can see is the left corner of the screen.. 🙁 Anything else I could try?

      Well as far as full screen goes, i looked in the “Options” in the graphics section and saw where you can turn “Windowed mode” On and off. I turned it off and the game went full screen. Hope that helps 🙂
