Your sim was thrown onto a deserted island and had to fend for themselves (albeit with you to help them). But Castaway stories? I couldn't get a Sim stranded on an island in TS2 even if I tried really hard. Life stories? Fine, but I could do that in The Sims 2 already. I’ve chosen to write about Castaway Stories over the other two entries because I really enjoyed the completely new premise of the game. For me, though, these Sims Stories games were the answer to my lack of Sims Urbz. These came out around the same time as The Sims 2, as a range of Sims games that were made to be more laptop friendly. The Sims Castaway Stories was one of The Sims Stories series (which included Life and Pets as well as Castaway). One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
