Okay, yeah, I know this is weird. laugh.gif

Sims 2 Castaway, a game which features a bunch of Sims who have quite a story to tell. Not the usual 'doll house' sort of theme most gamers are familiar with. Instead, this is a game with some rather surprising features and unusual roleplay. I first played S2C long ago in 2007, and it was one of my daughter's first videogames as well, at the age of 4.

Honestly, I have no idea how this will go. santa.gif But I need to get my mind off some wicked serious things going on. We all do, right? So let's enjoy this weird Renee gaming phase while it lasts, at least.

IPB Image

For this thread, I am going to post fuller-sized pictures instead of links. Mostly because this is a Playstation 2 (lower resolution) game. I wouldn't want to burden anybody with clicking on a bunch of links only to bring up shoddier graphics. There is a PC version of Sims 2 Castaway, but ironically its story isn't as compelling. unsure.gif

Meet the star of the show, whose name is Jenna Rossity.

IPB Image

Jenna is a teacher from Los Angeles. She is very giving and caring, with a knack for dealing with tough situations, as any teacher is wont to possess at times. Some time in the early 2000s, Jenna went on a cruise to celebrate the anniversary of one of her friends. Two of their girlfriends also came along for the ride, which was piloted by a dude, all of who can be seen below.

IPB Image

From left to right we can see Captain Crank, the sole male of the group, and (of course) the boat's captain. Clara Fye (nerdy scientist) is pictured in the striped Polo shirt. She's got red hair. At the boat's steering wheel is Jenna Rossity, and next to her, wearing a black tube top, is their slacker friend Mona Lott (musician / artist). Finally we have Anna Verssary (businesswoman). Everybody's on this boat ride because of Anna, who is having her anniversary, I guess.

IPB Image

As we can see, plenty of partying commenced upon this boat. As the boat drifted farther away from the city, and eventually past the island of Catalina, Jenna herself is shown tipping a wine cooler in the picture above. wacko.gif

IPB Image

Their revelry continued as skies grew dark... even Captain Crank was too blitzed to notice. cool.gif


IPB Image

As we can see, something is wrong in the picture above. What could it be? What could it be??


IPB Image

Oh no!!!

The next couple hours were a blur to Jenna. As their boat got knocked over by a gigantic wave (I guess) poor Miss Rossity was forced to grab hold of a chunk of the boat's wooden planking, and hope for the best. She dog-paddled in fear, sadly getting separated from the rest of her group, hoping she was not about to become shark food, wondering if she'd make it back to civilization alive.

When the ship capsized, the captain was sloshed drunk. Everybody was. So no distress calls were made. No planes were flying overhead at the time, and no other boats or ships were nearby to witness the accident.


IPB Image

The next morning Jenna found herself here, beached apparently upon an island. Unfortunately this island did not seem to be Catalina, as she could see no human structures or establishments nearby.

She awoke and coughed and shook herself off.


IPB Image

Oh no! What will become of Jenna Rossity???

Lots of people had new things they tried during COVID. I am going to continue this game, which wow, I haven't touched since 2021!


IPB Image


The plot is: A schoolteacher named Jenna Rossity went on a cruise, a girls' day upon the water from Los Angeles to Catalina. She was with several friends: a scientist named Clara Fye, musician/artist Mona Lott, and Anna Verssary, a businesswoman. It was Anna's birthday or something. cake.gif Anyway, they got lost, because Captain Crank, the only male on the boat, was probably not doing his job. ⛴

The boat shipwrecked, and everyone grabbed life preservers or whatever they could... problem is they got separated (apparently) from Jenna. Jenna floated to an island, but none of the others are on Jenna's island. 🏝

However, big news from last episode from 2021 is she's discovered there's another island! ohmy.gif It's barely visible on the horizon. Will Jenna somehow be able to make it there? Will a rescue 'copter be sent to find her? Let's find out.

Here is where we last saw Jenna. She also discovered there's a shipwreck on the island. That'll be fun (for me) to explore.


IPB Image


And here she is peeling a banana.


IPB Image

Notice the icon in the lower left, where she's smiling. smile.gif This is a Sims game, folks. Which means everything we do in the game can affect her mood. Jenna can become depressed, overjoyed, indifferent.

Oh by the way, she's a Sagittarius.


IPB Image


Hmm, not agreeing the typical Sag is shy. Anyway, tons of menus in this game to geek out with.

So, let's have a look at what Jenna looked like at the beginning of this "show".



IPB Image


Notice her clothes and hair. Her clothes look fresh from the laundry, and her hair's been dolled at a salon. And let's look at her now....


IPB Image

Her clothes are torn, and her hair's becoming matted. Pretty sure her hair has grown as well. Yep.


IPB Image


She falls asleep on the first beach she arrived at
