Hello everyone, today I am bringing you an article about the last one of The Sims Stories series - The Sims Castaway Stories.
I bought this thing recently on Facebook Marketplace after searching for it for a long time in my country. Finally, I got it. I am planning to do a let’s play of it because I am very excited. I have never played it actually.
What needs to be mentioned is that this is The Sims Castaway Stories - the version for computers. There is another one called The Sims 2: Castaway but that is for consoles like Wii, PS2, or PSP.
And here I am happily holding my The Sims Castaway Stories game - also, it is in very nice condition!
This game has two modes/ways you can play it - story mode called Shipwrecked and Single which takes place on Felicity Island, and open-ended normal-gameplay-thing which takes place in a “neighborhood” called Wanmami Island.
Now, if you want to do what I did:

How to install
The installation was pretty simple to me, I hope you’ll have the same - because installing these old sims games to newer computers seems to be like a roulette, someone doesn’t have any problems with that and someone else cannot make it run like ever.Now, if you want to do what I did:
- simply install the game from the autorun OR if you consider it a better idea like I did (for no reason tbh, just bc some guys on the Internet recommend this for The Sims 1) you can right-click on the DVD in This PC and click open - then open the AutoRun.exe
- apply Graphics Rules Maker to the game there is a whole tutorial on how to do it on their website so I will not retell it
these are my settings, I mostly use the ones you get when you hit Auto-detect
If anything doesn’t work for you, try to run everything as an administrator, I do that permanently
- then don’t forget to set all settings of the game to maximum (if you think your computer is able to do that, but my PC is pretty average and it runs it perfectly so I think you’re ok)
- also, a thing that helped me a lot is setting Smooth Edges to More in Graphics/Performance Options
That is pretty much everything I wanted to tell you about The Sims Castaway Stories right now. I'll be back soon with a let's play, pictures, maybe some tips and more!
