The Bizarre World of The Sims 2: Castaway

Aho Slightly boomerish of me but this was the first time playing Castaway (by popular demand) but what other Sims titles do you guys want to see?

The Sims 2: Castaway walked so that Project Zomboid could run.

This game was so ahead of its time, predating the survival game genre. Even as a kid, playing it on the Wii, i couldn't put it down. Years later as an adult, survival games would kick off... And this... is where it all started for me. Trying to scratch... THIS itch specifically

This game was my childhood. Can't believe someone would pick this up again someday.

One of my favorites, the fact you dont have a normal job and everything is done through materials was really fun Also i remember overbuilding and my house catching fire

It's weird to think there was a time you could make games like this and get hundreds of thousands of CDROMs printed. Like, at some point someone had to drive a truck full of The Sims 2: Castaway away from the factory.

I like to imagine the Xerxes are just one man and his multiple personalities

This game always felt like a massive monkey and coconut fever dream

I'm not sure if you take suggestions but The Sims 2 DS was the weirdest game. I replay it every few years would absolutely love to see a video on it as nobody really talks about it.

TS2 castaway was the birth child for survival games, the semi in-depth resource collection & crafting, shelter building, clothing damage/crafting, hair growth. It was actually pretty impressive considering the time, I should get the dusty ol' ps2 out to play this again at some point

It will never stop suprising me how they used to make basically different games under the same name for different platforms. I used to play castaway on pc and it looks nothing like this.

This is my favorite, favorite, favorite sims 2 spinoff. I’ve probably put hundreds of hours into it between childhood and adulthood. I am so excited to watch this. Thank you for playing it.

"Man, this Sim's name is super hard to say. Well, better name an entire family the same thing and rattle off their names all at once just to punish myself for my sins" - AmbiguousAmphibian, probably

I can remember playing this as a kid, I only made one Sim, didn’t realise you could befriend the chimps, and was scared to leave the beach at night. My play through eventually ended with my Sim being super depressed without any entertainment and crying every few steps. I found the radio in the plane and was forced to use that to improve his mood. The last thing I remember is being at the top of the gorge dancing with the radio and crying repeatedly lmao.

Very little to do about anything, but at 5:52 you run by something called a Pokeberry Bush. That is actually a real (but non tropical) plant native to the eastern and southern parts of the US. Unfortunately, the berries and mature leaves are toxic to mammals. You actually can make the leaves edible by repeatedly boiling them (dumping the water each time) to leech out the toxin - you'll know it's safe when the water stays clear when it boils. And the berries make a decent dye. My great grandfather would apparently resort to feeding his family the purified leaves when times were really tough. Birds will happily eat the berries (the toxin has no effect on them). Thank you for coming to my TED talk. ;P

Back in the day me, my sister, and mom played this together. Good memories

From tickling the Black Eyed Peas to hugging monkeys. I may need to get into the home console Sims universe.

I'm glad to see you just made the Spiffing Brit as a sim and through him on an island to survive

I for one love this bold reimagining of Nigel Thornberry's history

got emotionally attached to them monkeys last time i played lmao
