1a. Introduction
-------------------
I personally am an avid fan of survival games (having played and finally
beaten Lost in Blue and Lost in Blue 2). Once this one came out I got began
to play and got addicted. It's probably about time I contributed to the
walkthrough scene anyway. It'll take some time for this FAQ to be completed
though, seeing as I have exams and common tests still coming up for me. So
please bear with the constant missing gaps here and there, and feel free to
e-mail me should you think I've missed out anything here.
Note that GameFAQs will have the most updated version of my walkthrough at
all times, as I'm mainly operatin from there.
Should you wish to find anything, use Ctrl+F and search for the titles or
keywords, as this guide is pretty long.

3. Gameplay
---------------
The gameplay in The Sims 2: Castaway is simple: you have a total of six
different motive bars: hunger, energy, social, comfort, hygiene and bladder.
Yes, bladder. Well, your Sims ARE human, and this is a typical Sims game
we're talking about...
You also have a survival guide at the top left of your screen. It's the
little pale blue book with a cool-looking logo on it. Tap on it to eat
(it brings up the eat screen pretty automatically)
The tabs are all pretty self explanatory, including food, objects, templates,
clothes, relationships, inspiration and ideas, and the map. Out of all
of them, the most useful one is the map tab - the one with a compass icon
on it. It brings up a map of all the places you've visited. Tap the orange
icon on where you want to visit and voila! You're there. Very handy thing,
and I spent the entire first few weeks walking about like an idiot. Can you
believe it?

4. Walkthrough
---------------
Note: This guide is a general one, and you don't strictly need to actually
adhere to what this guide says and does. This is not something like a set
of rules and laws, but a guide for you to follow. But if you feel more
comfortable following the guide, then by all means do so.
The directions of left and right are more or less like the way you face
the DS screen, not you with your back to the DS screen. Just bear that
in mind as you read this guide.
****************
a) Washed Ashore
****************
After having chosen your character's appearance, you'll be immediately
greeted with the cutscene of your character blown backwards by the bellow
of the leaving ferry - or what looks like to be one, anyway. The screen
changes to blue (ah, glorious blue) and you are entertained with a visual
diary of how exactly our poor protagonist ended up on the deserted island.
Quite unpleasant, but now the task falls on us to keep him/her alive.
Upon the start of the game, we seen a blinking lightbulb at the very top
of the screen. You may tap on it and check out on what our game has to say.
Turns out it's teaching us how to walk and move about. Head a bit to the left
of the screen and you'll see our first ever fruit - a watermelon, which
originated from Africa. But that's not the point of this, so we'll move on.
Feed your poor Sim and they'll have restored around 50 pts of your hunger.
Oh, joy. You won't see these for a while. See the arrow on the floor?
Tap it, and you'll be transported to another screen with bits of debris and
stuff. Pick them up and build a shelter with them. It's simple, nothing
fancy, made of palm and driftwood. You don't get much sleep with them either,
but we'll have to make do. After taking a brief nap,tap the left arrow at
the furthest part of the screen and you should be able to see a coconut tree.
The game then proceeds to instruct you to shake it. This little beauty fills
up 13 pts of your hunger meter. Not much, but as you move around on the
island, you'll find waaay more coconuts and soon you'll start to appreciate
how much coconuts can save your life. There's something called a crafting
rock there, and at that place you'll be able to craft whatever you like.
Very handy. Tap the next arrow to take yourself to the next area. You'll
see a big rock there. Tap on it, and it should bring up two options:
"Examine" or "Hunt for Bugs".
Yes, bugs. Tap on the "Hunt for Bugs" option and immediately you shall come
across the very first mini-game in Castaway. Relatively straightforward and
simple: squish as many escaping bugs as possible with your stylus, which
in turn become coloured splatches once you have successfully squished them.
In fact, if you do manage to squish all the bugs, a few rather rare ones
will come up, such as the fuschia, jade and blue bug. All of these are
essential in later stages, so I suggest that you try your best and squish
all of them. For now, they are just food. Really icky food that takes off
some 15 or 10 points off your hygiene and comfort meter, so it's not really
recommended for you to feed them this foodstuff unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, it's your choice. There's also a stream in the same area where
you can take a bath in and fill up your hygiene meter. The sea also serves
more of less the same purpose, but you won't really fill up that much
until you see the real bathing area. But that's for later.
Once you've had your fill of bug-squishing fun, go another few screens
across until you reach a dead end with a rock. Tap on the rock and
choose "Examine". At this point, you're stuck with just the coastline, but
never fear, there's a lot more to be found around the coast. Go back to the
area where your shelter is. Preferably, bring up the surivival guide and tap
the compass. You'll be given an entire map, marked with the locations which
you've visited. Tap the green square and instantly you'll be taken to your
shelter. We call this island teleportation. There's an arrow to the north
which you might have already discovered. There you'll find sticks and...
a wall of vines blocking your path. So that area's cordoned off for now.
There's a stone or two that you can pick up too. Head back to your shelter
and start a little fire, though fortunately, even if it goes out, you'll
still be able to sleep.
Throughout the entire journey, feel free to take as many naps as you like.
I must warn you, sometimes sleeping doesn't necessarily fill up your energy
meter all the time though. Keep eating your way all this time. By the 2nd or
3rd day, you'll see bushes with fruit on them. Tap on them to bring up
mainly three options for now: "Examine", "Forage" or "Use". For some plants,
you can only examine them, as they are withered and don't produce, and hence
you can't "forage" them. That will be taken care of later. Tap on "Use", and
you'll find that your Sim uses these bushes as a toilet. This will fill up
your "Bladder" meter - but your "Hygiene" meter will drop drastically. Very
drastically. Head to the freshwater stream and wash immediately, or risk
one very pessimistic and gloomy sim.
Now, head to the second-last area to the right of the coastline. You'll see
some gnarled wood and another coconut tree. Shake it should there be any
fruit. The gnarled wood is very useful for an easel later on where you paint
with crushed beetles. There's another arrow down there at the very edge at
the south of the beach. Tap that area and you'll find your Sim swimming
in a sea. Here, you can dive, OR alternatively, click on the other arrow
to head to the remains of your poor sunken ship and pick up an anchor there.
You're done with the ship for now. Later on, once you obtain a small metal pole,
you can use it to craft a crowbar and open the door (tap around at the gray
door with two circles on it. You should get "Examine" first. After you've
gotten the crowbar, you can "Open" the door). There's a crate inside
containing all sorts of festive goodies. You can open it three times
to complete your collection.
Back to the place where you Sim was swimming. At this diving spot you can find
Pink Murex, which is essential for later quests, and coral and shells.
But that's all up to you. Look hard on the beach once you get back. See the
three rocks? You'll need around five per rock to make an SOS signal.
Unfortunately, instead of doing the logical thing and dropping down to
rescue your stranded sim on the island, the people who pass by drop
all sorts of stuff at the area, including a nice slab of meat. That's
handy, and remember to check back to the area everyday. But that's for
later.
Now, remember where you were washed up? You can head there every day to find
crates/boxes/palm leaves/driftwood washed up, and that is essential to future
item crafting and shelter upgrading. Head to the to the right of the beach
and find a water bottle there. Pick it up, and feel free to fill it up at
the freshwater stream. Rest up, eat up, and get ready for your next
adventure.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Crafted your shelter
b) Found the bug rocks
c) Found the gnarled wood - possibly craft the easel
d) Found the sunken ship
e) Obtained the water bottle
f) Filled it up with fresh water
And later on in the game:
a) Craft the SOS signal in the very south of the coast
b) Get the crowbar to open the sunken ship's door
*******************************
b)First Castaway - Dr. Feelgood
*******************************
Head back to the dead end with the bush. You should see red fruit on it.
Forage for some funny looking red fruit called Sparkleberry. Your
sim will also notice that a rock's fallen down, and now you can
officially explore a new area. Climb up the rock face and come to...
another rather blank looking area. Pick up the twigs on the left of the
screen and forage for some more food, aka tomatoes. Proceed to the other
area with the arrow.
In the next screen, you'll see a woman lying on her very well made shelter
(I'm seeing green here) with a pestle next to her. Tap her and select
"Greet". You'll see what exactly went wrong with her - she's a doctor and
she's too ill to go out and grab the medicine. So the task falls to you,
au naturelle. She'll ask for a catfish, and give you your harpoon. Head back
down the cliff face and tap the sea. This time, you'll see a third item
come up: namely spear fishing. Tap that option and you'll see play your
first bout of spearing.
This game is straightforward, but tricky when it comes to spearing the fish.
My advice to you is that you better aim for the head of the fish, and watch
their swimming pattern. The catfish is very recognizable. It's got white
funny looking tusks protruding out of it's mouth and looks like a green
carp. Get a few of them, and you shouldn't really go wrong with it. Go back
to the doctor (the survival guide map is faster) and give her the catfish
with the option "deliver items". She'll mash up the carp. Tap "Offer help"
yet again and this time, she'll ask for some berries. Now remember the
berries you picked off from below the cliff face? Those are the berries she
wants. If you don't have them, backtrack down and forage for them. Give her
what she wants and she'll crush the berries all over again. Offer help again
and she'll want... a bottle of water. Yes, the bottle that you refilled at
the freshwater stream? That's the one. So give her the bottle, and she'll
mix it up with her catfish-sparkleberry paste... and she's all up and
running, with a completely full relationship bar. From this point onwards,
you'll be able to trade with her, and as time goes by, more and more items
will be added to her trading list. Dr. Feelgood also has the hammer handle
that you need to make a hammer. You'll also receive a piece of metal.
Now that is essential for the hatchet you'll be crafting soon.
After performing the good deed, go back to where you were washed up and open
the crate. At some point, you will receive a stick with a loop. That should
be the handle for your hatchet. Craft your hatchet at the crafting rock,
rest and eat, and you're ready for the next area...
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found Dr Feelgood and:
i) Gotten her the cat fish
ii) Gotten her the berries along the coast (Sparkleberries)
iii) Given her the water bottle with water
b) Obtained the fishing spear from Dr. Feelgood
c) Gotten the hatchet head
*NOTE!* The hatchet stick is washed ashore shortly after the
quest. Once you've gotten that then you can craft your hatchet.
d) Crafted the hatchet
*******************************
c) Second Castaway - Ms. Weeder
*******************************
When you wake up at your shelter, fill up your stats first, and pick up a
coconut. Hopefully you haven't used the twigs from last time's adventure,
because you'll be needing it for this time. Remember the thick vines that
hung like a tapestry? Well, it's time to chop it down. Go all the way to
the end of the path and tap on the tapestry. You should see another
new option called "Remove". Tap on the option and your sim should
automatically start hacking away at the growth. This will open up a new
area. Tap on the arrow.
Well, what do we have here? Another castaway. This one's called Ms.
Weeder. Be a good and kind citizen - cough - I mean fellow
castaway and offer your help to her. She wants to revive the banana
plant close to her shelter, and needs your help. Feeling like the
Island Superman/Supergirl/Batman/Batwoman/Hero/Heroine now, eh?
At this, you'll receive another template - this time for a water
carrier that acts like a watering can. If you like, you can hang around a
bit and you'll see... Ms. Weeder whipping out a watering can and watering
her plots of plants. Oh, the irony. Anyway, you should see the poor neglected
plant. It's to the left of her shelter. Tap on it, and examine it to confirm
it's the banana plant. Now, see the arrow next to the banana plant? Tap that
to go to the next area and... voila! What do you have? A sparkling pure water
pool with running water and COCONUTS! Ah, paradise! Just to let you know,
this pool restores THE highest hygiene I've ever seen so far, so you might
want to keep your map out and tap there for the quickest way to get to keep
your hygiene up... Check out the stone at the northern part of the screen,
and you'll acquire the ability to make a grappling hook. Remember the
anchor you got? Once you get the rope template (refer to the FAQ section),
you'll be able to craft a grappling hook, and yet again another area
comes up.
That area, once you climb up, doesn't really have much to it. Just a
coconut tree and a tuning fork. There's also a funny little stick there,
and the description reads something involving a rescue team. Hmm, is that
a hint?
Head back to the crafting rock via map. Tap on it, and you'll see a funny
looking halved coconut on a stick. That, my friend, is your water carrier.
Craft it out of small sticks and a coconut, and fill it up at the closest
FRESHWATER stream/pond/pool. Sea water doesn't work. Now go back to the
banana plant and water it, doing so every day, until it finally yields and
gives fruit. Shake the banana off the tree and hand it over to Ms. Weeder.
That's one quest done.
Head over to Chef Butcher's area (elaborated in the next section) and
finish his chilli and Peach Quest. Once you're done, go back to Ms.
Weeder and offer help to her again.
This time, she'll complain about her plants dying and needing a cure.
Oh, goodie, time to be Superman again.
Trek back to Dr. Feelgood (hopefully, you've kept up a good relationship)
and tap on her. Tap the option "Ask for help" and you'll explain to her what
Ms. Weeder needs. Dr. Feelgood will then agree to help you out, but she needs
some bugs. Crushed bugs. You should have most of them, but there's a slightly
tricky coloured bug you need to get. That's the blue bug.
Head to any bug hunting rock and you'll be required to
squish ALL THE PRESENT BUGS before the blue bugs crawl out. Smash them up to,
and take it back Dr. Feelgood. Now she'll ask for three different fish:
salmon, black carp and cowcod. The first two originate from the lake;
the cowcod comes from the ocean. Once you've got them, head back to the
doctor and give it all to her. She'll give you a green cure in return.
Trek back to Ms. Weeder and give her the cure. You'll receive the shovel
handle and the shovel head. Go to the crafting block and craft a shovel.
One thing I need to clarify here - the green cure for Ms. Weeder is the
one with the TEST TUBE. It's called Plant Nutrients, if my memory serves
me correctly. It's different from the one that Dr. Feelgood has on offer
(the one in a green, round-bottomed flask), so bear that in mind,
peoples!
Once you've done with these two quests, DON'T OFFER HELP TO HER YET. You need
to complete another quest to get what she wants for another person. Instead,
head to the far right of the screen and explore. There, you'll see another
coconut tree and two bushes - one large and tall, and the other short and
small. Forage them both to find yams and vines. Vines are essential to make
rope AND to craft your new shelter, so I suggest checking back on this area
frequently to grab some new materials.
Continue right to find a cave. Sparkly, isn't it? You'll see a skeleton
wearing a pirate's hat. Creepy. Don't worry, it won't suddenly spring back
to life and scare the crap out of you. Take it's pirate hat and if you want,
feel free to converse with the guy. You'll gain social points for that, quite
bizzarely. Pick up the mushrooms and continue right.
Past the cave with the skeleton, you'll find coconuts once again, and two
withered plants, a pineapple plant and a rice plant respectively. Feel free
to water them. You'll get tasty pineapple and be able to harvest rice once
watered. Trek next and get ready to continue to the next area... only to
find a broken bridge. Killjoy. On the bright side, you get the bridge and
the rope template, which is also needed to make a grappling hook. You're
done with this area for now.
If you like and want to get on the game really quickly, you can grab two
pieces of driftwood and make some rope with three vines. Head back to the
broken bridge and tap "repair bridge". It'll bring up another menu. Once
you've done that you can now go across the bridge, and that'll lead you
to the second island on the right of the screen. However, that area will
be covered later on in the other section when suddenly, this island
becomes essential for a quest.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Met Ms. Weeder
b) Completed her banana quest
c) Obtained the water carrier
d) Found the pool which restores the highest hygiene
e) Found the cliff and obtained the grappling hook template
f) Found the broken bridge in the area right of the sparkly
cave
g) Gotten the rope and the bridge template; the rope template
is a question mark template, while the bridge can be
reconstructed when you go back to the broken bridge;
there should be an option "Repair Bridge".
********************************
d) Third castaway - Chef Butcher
********************************
Chef Butcher is definitely NOT on my favourites list on castaways. Go to
Dr. Feelgood and tap on the vine overgrowth and remove it with your hatchet.
A new area should open up. Tap the arrow and head to the new area. By now,
you should have enough material to craft youself a far superior shelter.
Once you have the time, go back to your shelter and tap it, and select
"Craft Shelter". It requires two dried overgrowths, vines and two driftwood.
Once you have all you need, you'll have the log shelter. Now this one fully
restores your energy and comfort meter, and that's a good thing.
First thing you'll see is another rocky outcrop. There's a withered avacado
plant and a bird's nest. Water the avacado if you like and then collect an
egg from the bird's nest. Feel sorry for the mother bird, but for some odd
reason, the egg keeps respawning, around one egg per day. Continue to the
northern arrow and see a guy hopping up and down in front of a very pretty
cherry blossom. Once you (the player) have stopped laughing, go to the guy
and offer help. He'll want the peaches but he can't reach them. Now what
has past experience taught us? We don't get fruit by hopping up and
down like rabbits (sorry to all rabbit fans here), we SHAKE them. So do a
demo to the chef and shake the peach tree. Give him a peach and he'll be
ever so happy. Offer help again and this time he'll complain about the food
being too bland. He wants some chilli peppers. So trek back to Ms Weeder
using your survival guide, and you'll see a mysterious plant right next
to her. That's the chilli plant. At this juncture, the "Offer Help" option
should be available once again. Now, I wonder how the plant got there...?
The red chilli plant grows up on its, own. After it's fully grown, forage
it when you see red chillies on them. Feel free to water the raspberry plant
too for some raspberries.
Take the chillies back to Chef Butcher and he'll rejoice and eat them. O.o.
Talk to him one more time and he'll ask for a FIRE PIT. Yes, a fire pit.
This one needs stones, a shovel and small sticks. The stones can be obtained
by a)digging or b) picking up from the shore line. Now comes the tricky part.
Head back to the chef once you have all the items and tap on his fireplace.
You'll get "craft fire" and then you'll upgrade his fireplace. Once you've
done that, light a fire and automatically he ends up next to you. Offer help
again and he starts to whinge about wanting to cook something on his new
grill, the recipe including lime and sardines. You'll also obtain a chisel.
Head to the next screen and you'll see a fallen trunk. This is the basis of
a canoe. Remember the hammer handle from Dr. Feelgood? Well, trade in some
pufferfish, a green bug, a jade bug and a fuschia bug and you'll get it. The
jade and fuschia bug, like the blue bug, can only be obtained once you squish
all the present bugs in the rock. The pufferfish can be found in the bay you
were washed up in the noon time, as in, when the sun is fully up. You can't
miss it. It's got teeth snapping at the top of its head and is brown in
colour. The sardines are the smaller fishies, and they are tricky to spear,
but in the end, you'll manage it. Your lime, however, comes a lot later as
you need to grab some mangoes for Ms. Weeder before you can actually trade
with her - read as: "Finish all her quests".
Once you have the hammer and the chisel, go to the trunk and make the canoe.
It drains a lot of your energy, so sleep between rounds, or you'll faint
and chimps will carry you back and nick some of your stuff.
Once you've finished (you need to make it three times), sleep and go
back to Ms. Weeder. Time to get on with another task.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found the bird's nest and the avacado tree
b) Done the Chef's Peach Quest
c) Done the Chef's Chilli Quest
*Note: At this juncture, you can do Ms. Weeder's dying plant quest*
d) Crafted the fire pit for Chef Butcher.
*REMEMBER YOU CAN'T FINISH THE QUEST IF YOU DON'T LIGHT THE FIRE!*
e) Gotten the chisel
f) Crafted the hammer (if you haven't done so already)
g) Accepted the lime-and-sardines quest - but not completed it yet
h) Crafted the canoe thoroughly
******************************
e) Ms. Weeder and her Mangoes
******************************
Offer your help to Ms. Weeder (it's getting a bit tedious, isn't it?) and find
out that she needs mangoes. Oh, god. Mangoes. Head back to your now finished
craft (if you haven't, refer to the above) and tap on it to travel
to a new area on in our Castaway world. But before that, you can actually go
and fill up your water carrier in preparation for your next major adventure...
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Offered your help to Ms. Weeder on the mangoes. Uh, yeah. That's about it.
***************************************
f) A Whole New World - The Third Island
***************************************
Excuse the pun with the Disney Song (you know, A Whole New World in Aladdin?)
Once you arrive, you can water the poor withered peach plant for some tasty
and filling peaches. Once you're done with that, tap the arrow on the north
and head upwards to the next area.
Once you're in the area, you'll immediately notice two things: firstly, the
lake's a PLUS SHAPE. Now where in geography did that manage to happen? But
then, this is the Sims world we're talking about. Now, can you see the
mango tree? Not really. It took me a few tries to get to it. But that
aside, tap around the area where you should be standing. At the veeery
left of the screen, you should see a tree. Tap on it, and it brings up
"Shake tree". Now that is a mango tree. Grab some of the fruit. Wait!
You're not done yet. Take a look at the "Clothes" section of your
survival guide. Tap on tops and check out your outfit. Hello?
Cleanliness at 0%???? No wonder your Sim's sometimes bothered. Okay,
and maybe you're bored of the colour of your top. Right.
Swim in the lake, and dive around for fun if you like. Here, you'll
get some pretty awesome items, like yellow slugs and broken bottles, which
you'll need for the telescope. Continue north and tap on the north arrow
yet again.
You'll come out in an area with a completely wrecked and broken crashed
plane. Okay. Seriously, that is scary. Wonder which unlucky soul ended up
on this island? Pick up the metal pole that is shining on the floor in
the dazzlingly blinding sunlight, and you'll get the template for
the crowbar. I suggest crafting the crow bar for later uses. Alright,
now do you see the trunk with water filled in it? Tap on it, and take
your time is scrubbing your Sim's clothes clean - or alternatively,
dye them a different colour. Anyway, it's your choice. Go back
to Ms. Weeder and hand her the mangoes, and finally you finish her
quests, and get to trade with her.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found the third island
b) Found the plus-shaped lake
c) Watered the peach plant (optional)
d) Found the dying/washing basin
e) Found the small metal bar for the crowbar
f) Obtained the crowbar template
g) Picked the mangoes for Ms. Weeder
h) Given the mangoes to Ms. Weedder and unlocked the Trade option
*******************************
g) Finishing the Chef's Firepit
*******************************
Ms. Weeder has a host of seeds waiting for you, the lime seed and the
brazil nut seed being the most important. For the time being, I
suggest you pick up the lime seed to finish the chef's quest
(hopefully you'd have speared a sardine or two) - aka the recipe of
the fire pit. Plant the lime seed and water it regularly, as you do
with most plants. While we wait, we can probably go back to the third
island, and help the fourth and last castaway we'll find on this island.
Go back to the third island via canoe - or just teleport there via your
map. Your choice.
Go to the plus-shaped lake and toggle your screen to the very right.
Do you see another arrow? Tap on it, and head into the new area,
where we'll meet the most unfortunate castaway of them all.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Traded the lime seed and the brazil nut seed
********************************
h) Fourth Castaway: Suzy McDress
********************************
Well, what do we have here? An enviable looking tent made out of cloth,
pretty blue flowers and dandelions floating about it the air. There's even
a bush but... hang on a second. No castaway? Nyah. Appearances are, as we
all know, deceiving at times. Tap on the bush. It brings up "Examine" and
"Greet". Okay, greet the bush. Yes, sounds mental, but trust me, it works.
Eventually, you'll come face to face with a redhead. Welcome Suzy McDress
into the castaway scene. Apparently, her clothes got stolen by chimps and
she's got no clothes to wear. Now look closely, and realize she's wearing
a blue t-shirt. Or maybe it's the new "blur" in the Castaway world. But
never mind that much. Chat to her a bit, and she'll want two coconuts and
some vines to make a top for herself to wear. We've seen enough coconuts
for the time being, and hopefully you've kept at least two with you at all
times, not to mention the single vine. Once you've got them, deliver them
to Suzie McDress. She'll be thrilled. Offer your help to her, and this time
she wants a grass skirt. That'll require palm fronds and tall grass. You've
seen enough palm fronds around the area, but what about the tall grass?
Time to finish the chef's recipe.
Has your lime tree grown tall enough? If you haven't even planted them,
do pick up the seeds and water and plant them. Also, remember to alsways
keep up the relationship with is mainly Chef Butcher and Ms. Weeder, as
they drop pretty easily if you neglect them for too long. After around four
to five days of constant care for your plant, you'll find a green fruit
hanging around the branches of the tree. Shake that and head to the chef.
Deliver your goods and he'll be completely thrilled and hand over a knife.
Ooh, shiny. Rest up, and we'll go material gathering after that.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found and seen Suzy McDress
b) Finished her top
c) Checked on your lime tree - and harvested them
d) Obtained the knife from Chef Butcher
********************************************
i) A Whole New World II - Across the Bridge
********************************************
I'm betting that most of you actually have gone and went to the other side of
the bridge before even I got to it, but since I haven' really introduced the
area yet, I'll make it end up here.
Once you head across the bridge, you'll be greeted with a massive whacking
stone door with a pirate's skull on it. Looks something like the danger sign.
Head up the north arrow and you'll find a place with fallen statue heads
and pillars. Shift your entire screen to the left and you'll see a very
dark doorway. Tap on it and it brings up "Explore Temple". This place
is very useful if you want to complete your collection, as this place
is a host to many different things, such as topaz, rubies, crystals,
silver skulls, gold coins, jade elephants... the list goes on and on.
Unfortunately, you cannot actually wander about inside, and it's all up to
your Sim to find the item. Ah, well.
Exit back to the area with a pirate door, and this time tap on the arrow
on the right side of the screen. This brings you to a very jungle-like
growth with a bug rock, a stone and... a particular patch of tall grass?
Tap on it and select "chop down", now that you have the knife. The new
rock (not the bug rock) is the rock for crafting new clothes. Bear that
in mind if you want some more exotic, island-like new threads. If you like,
you can also tap to the other arrow further right of the screen to reach
a rocky outcrop similar to the one to the left of Dr. Feelgood's area.
There's not much unless you want to find some stuff in the temple.
You can dig around as well to grab a piece of flint and another stone
throughout the island, and you'll get another template for an axehead.
Hm, now that's handy...
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Mended the bridge
b) Found the skull doors
c) Found the abandoned temple
d) Found the grass - and cut it down
e) Found the clothing station
*****************************
j) Errands for the Seamstress
*****************************
*I was flipping through the boards the other day and a user called
Detroit222 pointed out that it was not pufferfish put striped bass.
I have rectified that error, and would like to thank them for pointing
it out on the boards.*
Go back to estranged Suzy McDress and give her the items. Finally she
has something to wear at the bottom and she'll come out of the bush. Offer
your help to her yet again, and she'll want a different type of material
which looks like cloth. Oh, gee. Never mind that much. The cloth can be
obtained from Dr. Feelgood, in return of a striped bass.
The striped bass is speared in freshwater areas around the island.
It's usually caught in dusk, if my memory serves me correctly,
and isn't too much of a challenge to spear. Just wait for the fish
to stop, then stab down and hope it doesn't move at all. Yeah. Then
trade with Dr. Feelgood for the material and bring it back to Suzy.
This time, she'll head back into the bushes and come out with a rather
unappealing gray top. Well, we need to change that. Give her your help
and she'll want red bugs. Again, the bugs you need are obtained by
getting the perfect score. Whoopee. By now, you should have mastered
the art of bug squishing and this should be a piece of cake. Bring her
the bugs and she'll dye her top red. At this, finally the game brings
up that you can dye stuff on the island. Kinda late, isn't it, when
you've already found out AND probably dyed your clothes different
colours.
Between all these quests, go back to all your previous areas and rest,
wash, use the toilet, forage keep, up relationships and stuff in
between if you feel like it. Once you're ready, go back Suzy and offer
your help to her. She'll want a flagpole, and give you an axe handle.
Did you craft an axehead yet? If you did, then head to the crafting
rock and make an axe. Chop two or three coconut trees (they're
replaceable, don't worry, and you won't starve. You'll get palm
fronds as an extra bonus) and a vine.
Craft the flagpole at the crafting station and deliver it to Suzy.
She'll be thrilled. Joy. Offer your help to her again and she'll want
fuschia bugs to dye the flag. Simple enough. So grab the bugs and hand
them over. She'll dye the flag pink. Now look at the flag. The flag's
actually a pirate's flag. *speechless*
Now for the final task. Offer your help to Suzy McDress and she'll
have something about doing a duet with a musical instrument. And
the instrument she's referring to is... the ocarina. No, not the
Ocarina of Time from Zelda. Just a plain old Castaway style
Ocarina. Make it out of a hollowed piece of wood, nails and
a stone. Once you've made it, go back to her and play a
musical duet. It's simple. Whatever she plays, it comes up on the
screen as a button. Remember the button, hold it down and blow,
note by note, and you'll have finished the quests for
Suzy McDress. She'll give you a metal pole. Now that's for
the Chef. Rest up, and get ready to finish the Chef's tasks.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Finished her funny skirt
b) Gotten the cloth material for Suzy
c) Gotten the flagpole template - and finished the flagpole
quest
d) Found out about dying and washing your clothes
e) Gotten the pink pirate flag at Suzy's place
f) Played the ocarina with Suzy
g) Finished all her quests.
h) Gotten the metal pole which you need for the next quest.
**********************************
k) One Quest Down, One Curry to Go
**********************************
Well, thanks must go to Suzy McDress for helping us out with the pole. Before
you head to this quest, I suggest you trade some bamboo seeds, sugar cane,
brazil nuts and eggplant seeds. Water and plant them in earth mounds.
They'll come in handy later on.
Go to the Chef and he's really happy with his fire pit. However, he's got only
a bit of a complaint: he wants to improve his cooking fire a second time. And
guess what we need? A metal pole, a length of bamboo and an axe. You should
have gotten this from Suzy McDress. Just head off to him and if you have all
the items, just craft the fire automatically. And when you're done with that,
talk to him. He'll be thrilled, and you'll open up the option to be able to
trade recipes with him.
Now go to Dr. Feelgood and tap on her. Ask for help...? And I thought we were
done with her. Never mind that much. Head over to her and offer help yet again.
And what does she want? Green curry! Well, that's a bit of a hard thing, but
we'll manage it. Now remember when I asked you to plant sugar cane, brazil nuts
and eggplants? Well, you need to visit your brazil nut tree for two days to get
the two brazil nuts for the green curry recipe and trade it with Chef Butcher.
It's the pot of overflowing green liquid. The recipe requires sugar cane,
eggplant, chilli and a knife. You shouldn't really have much difficulty
if you've planted the items that I suggested above. But if you haven't, you'd
better do so now. Anyway, once you've harvested the sugar cane and foraged the
chilli and eggplant, cook it at your fire pit and then give it to Dr. Feelgood.
Now that takes care of everything.
Dr. Feelgood will give you the last piece of the map that hopefully you've been
collecting all over the island at various stages. They're the little pieces
of paper all over the island. There's one piece of map that I need to point
out though, as these map pieces usually look out of place in their area, with
their pale brown, parchment colour. The one that most people don't actually
find is the one in front of the skull doors. Now that the map's completed,
I wonder what comes next...?
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Gotten the bamboo, sugar cane, brazil nut and eggplant seeds
b) Finished the Chef's fire spit - and all his quests.
c) Gotten the green curry recipe from Chef Butcher
d) Finished the Green Curry quest for Dr. Feelgood - and finished her quests
e) Most likely completed the map (if not refer to the FAQ section below)
**********
l) The End
**********
I was actually rather tempted to put "End of the World" as the title for this
section taken after the Pirates of Carribean. After all, we have seen pirate
traces all around this island. So where does the map lead, eh? Look at it hard.
Really hard. I'll leave it to you to find out where the "X" is supposed to be.
****
******
**O**O**
********
*||||*

What? You just want me to tell you? Ah, well, alright then. I was just hoping
to let you enjoy the hunt. It took me a total of a few hours of poring
over the map and back to find it, but in the end, I managed.
Remember the area next to the clothing station? Well, if you visit the place,
toggle the screen just a bit upwards with your D-Pad. And you'll notice
something new. Another arrow...? Alright then. Tap the arrow, and it'll save
"Dive into the Sea". Okay, this is creepy. Anybody does jetty jumping? Well,
here it's more or less the same. Tap on the arrow. You'll be faced with a
cutscene of your sim falling down a rocky cliff, and down and down and down
and down and down and down and down and down and down and down they go...
And SPLASH They end up in another area. This one is an underground cavern with
a ship in it. And no, it's intact. Tap on the treasure chest and select
"Search". You'll come up with a template. Tap on the middle arrow which reads
"Enter the Ship". Congradulations! That's it of the Castaway game. You've
managed to finish the game completely. However, most likely you haven't really
completed the entire collection yet. Some people have managed to finish off
the entire collection to 100%. So you can stay and collect stuff, or
alternatively, get off the island. I suggest you stay and collect the stuff.
The sense of achievement you get is awesome.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found the underwater cave and the pirate ship.
b) Finished the entire storyline of the Sims 2: Castaway. Congrats!

5. Characters
-------------
There are a total of four castaways on this island, excluding
yourself. All of them have different likes and dislikes, and also
different items to trade and quests to complete. This section
basically gives a rundown on what quest is what, who likes what
and what person can trade what for what. These people are:
i)Dr. Feelgood
ii)Ms. Weeder
iii)Chef Butcher
iv)Suzy McDress
Note: I have managed to piece together a few background stories
for our characters here, but I don't know all their ornaments and
likes and dislikes. For the ones with "n/a", it doesn't mean that
they don't have any likes or dislikes - it just means I haven't
really found out about it yet. If you have any idea, feel free
to e-mail me. My e-mail's in the contact section. The trading
section works like this:
*Item of Interest* = *Items that you need to complete trade*

of you please write in so I can put your name down as well.*
************
Dr. Feelgood
************
This is the first castaway you'll find on the island, and the quests
are the easiest to complete. Alright, except for the curry quest
anyway. She has a stock of cures, materials (leather, driftwood,
palm fronds).
The Background Story: Dr. Feelgood was in a hot air balloon and was
heading to the moon when a lightning struck her
down and she fell onto the island. Yeah.

**********
Ms. Weeder

The second castaway that you'll find on the island. She's a gardner and
what I think can be qualified as a biologist. Her quests are a bit daunting,
and require days and days of waiting, not to mention actually paddling in
a canoe. She stocks different types of seeds waiting for you to trade and
grow and use in recipes.

************
Chef Butcher
************
The third castaway found on the island. As his name implies, he's a pretty good
cook, but at the same time, a bit dimwitted, no offence here. I mean, remember
in the peach tree quest? He's hopping up and down constantly but doesn't really
consider shaking the tree. He gives you two different items though, both which
are important in the story line. He stocks all sorts of recipes, some which
are also essential in the story line.
*Note: I have traded some items with the chef already hence and this list is
rather incomplete. Help would be greatly appreciated*
Background Story: He was travelling on a cruise ship when he stepped on a
banana skin, dropped a person's food, got kicked off the boat and left him
behind on an island. Sad.
Likes: Peaches, Eggs, Cheese, Cooked Food, Guacamole, Fruit Salad, Long Beans,
Potatoes, Brown Mushroom and White Mushroom (+6 for each mushroom)

GingerSim Recipe = Sugar Cane x1
************
Suzy McDress
************
The fourth and final castaway that is found on the island. She's a young
student who's talented at sewing, and is probably one of the hardest ones
in the game. Once you finish her quests, you can trade with her for various
different clothing.
*Note: I have traded some items with Suzy already and hence this list is
rather incomplete. Help would be greatly appreciated*
Background: (From what I pieced together) She was on the island and was waving
to a ship to pick her up when chimps stole her clothes. So she'd rather stay
than go on the ship on in her birthday suit. Yeah.
Likes: Guacamole, Soda, Chocolate Bar, Eggs and Cheese
Decorative Items: Red Radio, Teeth on Stick

6. Collection
-------------
This area of mine isn't really finished yet, so check back for updates. The
entire collection is divided up into different sections, like template, food,
recipes, upgrade, objects, gadgets and stuff. I'll be slowly completing this
section as I trawl around for information and gather some of my own. So yeah.
Also, note the difference between some sections which don't have an
explanation. Those are the ones which I most likely haven't put up or
haven't found yet, so bear with me please.

13. Tools
---------
i) Drinking Bottle
You get this baby when it's washed ashore on the third game day.
ii) Fishing Spear
When you first meet Dr. Feelgood, she'll ask you for a catfish.
Then you get her harpoon/fishing spear.
iii) Hammer
Trade with Dr. Feelgood for the hammer handle first, then go to
the crafting rock and craft the hammer template - you should
see it once you've gotten the hammer handle.
iv) Watering Can
v) Axe
Suzy McDress will give you the axe handle for the flag pole
quest. If you've done all of Ms. Weeder's quests, you should
be able to trade the axe head recipe with her. Once you have
crafted the axe head you can craft the axe.
vi) Plant Nutrients
Note: this is NOT the green cure that Dr. Feelgood has available
for trade. This is the one with a test tube. Once you get that
quest, ask Dr. Feelgood for help and you'll be send into another
mini quest to get the ingredients for the plant nutrients.
vii) Grappling Hook
Go and get the anchor on the sunken cargo ship, then check out the
broken bridge (if you haven't checked it out yet). You should get
the rope template, which appears in the shape of a question mark.
It's the one which requires three vines. Once you've crafted your
rope, you can craft the grappling hook, whose template should be
available once you get the anchor.
viii) Knife
Finish Chef Butcher's lime-and-sardines quest after his fire pit
quest and he'll hand over the knife.
ix) Water Carrier
You'll get this template once you accept Ms. Weeder's first quest.
x) Chisel
Finish Chef Butcher's fire pit quest and you'll get the chisel.
xi) Needle
You need to craft the needle from a sea urchin, the hatchet and
a bead.
xii) Crowbar
Get the small crowbar from the plane crash area and then head
to the crafting rock to see a metal pole with a bent end. That
is the crowbar.
xiii) Spade
Finish Ms. Weeder's plant nutrient quest and you should get
the head of a shovel and the handle of the shovel. You will
also get the shovel template. Head to the crafting rock and
craft the shovel.
xiv) Hatchet
Once you've finished and successfully cured Dr. Feelgood,
she'll give you the hatchet head. A few days later the
hatchet handle should wash ashore. Go to the crafting rock
and craft the hatchet.
xv) Fishing Pole
You need to grow bamboo for this. Once you've done so, check
out if you have the fishing pole template and if you do,
check if you have all the items - the thread, the nails
and the two bamboo. Once you do, craft the fishing rod.

7. Minigames
------------
There are quite a few minigames in Castaway. Here's a complete
list of them, in order of appearance:
i)Bug hunting (Bug rock)
ii)Spear fishing (Any body of water w/ harpoon)
iii)Painting (Easel on gnarled wood)
iv)Pole fishing (Any body of water w/ fishing pole)
v)Musical duet (Available only with Suzy McDress)
***************
i) Bug Hunting
***************
This game is relatively straightforward, as I have said in
the guide. Just smash up all the bugs/as many bugs as
possible. If you smash all the bugs, you'll get some
extra rare ones and you'll be able to use them to
paint, as bait, as dye and trading items.
Hint: Squish all the small bugs first as fast as you can. My
DS Screen is more or less slightly less responsive, and I find
that the best way is to jab at the screen. The long ones
are easier to squish - as long as no less than 1/5 of them is
sticking out at the edge of the screen and you can succesfully
squish them.
***************
a) Bug Colours
***************
This section is purely for those who need to find a bug but
can't seem to find it. The colours are all listed - just
Ctrl+F and look for your colour. These are listed in
alphabetical order.
Azure Bug: Area w/ food prep rock and area left of sparkly
cave
Black Bug: Area w/ rainbow and peach tree, area w/ food
prep rock, area left of sparkly cave and area
with easel/gnarled wood
Blue Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ food prep rock and area
w/ rainbow and peach tree
Brown Bug: Area w/ clothing station
Fuschia Bug: (Perfect Score) Area left of sparkly cave
Green Bug: (Perfect Score) Area left of sparkly cave and
area w/ easel/gnarled wood
Jade Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ easel/gnarled wood
Orange Bug: Area w/ clothing station and area w/ easel/
gnarled wood
Pink Bug: Area left of sparkly cave
Purple Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ rainbow and peach tree
Red Bug: Area w/ rainbow and peach tree
Tan Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ clothing station
Turquoise Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ clothing station
White Bug: Area w/ food prep rock and area w/ rainbow and
peach tree
Yellow Bug: Area w/ clothing station and area w/ easel/
gnarled wood
****************
ii)Spear fishing
****************
Spear fishing is harder than in its Japanese counterpart, Lost
in Blue, as I found out. Yes, the fish is more colourful and
you can distinguish what fish you're spearing, but the
reaction time is reeeeally slow.
Hint: Observe the pattern and aim for the head of the fish.
Alternatively, wait for our little fishie to stop and stab
it with your stylus. Reserve around 1 second of reaction
time.
************
iii)Painting
************
This is relatively straightforward. Just obtain the easel
using a blank canvas and craft it on the gnarled wood.
Once you get the coloured bugs, you immediately add to
your palette and scribble all over the canvas. It
boosts some stats too.
****************
iv)Pole fishing
****************
Obtain the fishing pole by crafting it at the crafting
rock with bamboo and vines. Once you've done so, head
to any big rock and fish there. Choose a coloured bug
and drop it into the water. Once in the water, slooowly
drag it over to the fish, and a thought bubble with
a question mark will appear over it. Sometimes, there
will be another bubble with a coloured bug in it. That
indicates what coloured bait the fish likes. To switch, tap
on it and cast the bait again. It takes a looooooong time
for the fish to actually take the bait - you'll know when
it's attracted when the heart shape appears, but it still
won't take the bait. Sometimes, it'll just dart off with
a "!" over its head. But when it does take the bait, the
net appears and you drag the poor fishie to the net. While
you start jumping in joy. That's about it for this
mini-game.
****************
v)Musical duet
****************
*NOTE: THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER YOU FINISH SUZY MCDRESS'
QUESTS.*
Sorry about the caps lock. That's the only way I can express
my italics/bold format in.
The game is relatively simple. Grab an ocarina crafted out
of some wood, nails and a stone and bring it to Suzy McDress.
She'll be thrilled, and not only do you get to trade with her,
but it launches you to your very first musical duet with her.
Watch her as she plays notes. Later on in the game, all you
need to do is to play with her and press the keys A,B,X,Y,L,R
and blow as she plays her tune. It'll give you more relationship
points with her as well.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
--------------------------------
Q) I've just crafted the canoe and I can only seem to "Examine" the canoe
whenever I tap on it and want to go to a new place.
A) After you've correctly crafted your canoe, there should be an arrow at the
very far right end of your canoe. Tap on that, though it is a bit tricky.
So my advice to you is that you toggle the screen to the right, before you
zoom out using the down arrow on the D-Pad until you can easily tap on
the body of the arrow.
Q) Where are the map pieces at the (position) of the entire map?
A) You can check out these places:
Flower Patch (above the area with a crafting rock): Lower right hand corner
Sparkly cave w/ skeleton: Upper left hand corner
By the pirate doors: Lower left hand corner
Dr. Feelgood's map piece: Upper right hand corner
Suzy McDress's map piece: Upper centre piece
*For Dr. Feelgood and Suzy McDress' map pieces, you need to finish all their
quests*
Q) Where is the rope template?
A) The rope template is available once you get to the broken bridge and examine
it. Then it should turn up as a question mark template, which requires three
vines. Head to the crafting rock and then hunt for that template, and craft.
Q) I can't seem to give *item* to *person*. I've given them gifts but they
don't seem to like it. What went wrong?
A) I can safely tell you that nothing is wrong. Once that happens, keep talking
to them. Yes, talking to them, even though gets you some feet stamping and
whatnot, will allow for your relationship bar to recover. Keep talking until
you're at 50% or more!
Q) I can't find the chisel! What happened?
A) You need to craft the chef's first fire pit and light it before you go
anywhere further. Then, talk to the chef again and tap "Offer Help".
You should get the chisel without any problems by then.
Q) I can't get the rice and the wheat seeds. Do I need to restart?
A) Ehh, to all those who got an e-mail saying you had to get your stuff at
32%, I have to apologize: you need to finish your game, find the boat,
get on it, sail off the island, AND THEN go back to the island. Only
then do your precious wheat and rice seeds turn up in the inventory.
Maybe Ms. Weeder got a shipment of them when we got back onto the island?
Q) What is the use of the map?
A) It's to find the pirate ship and to get off the island. That's about it.
Q) I can't get the chair! Now what?
A) First, you need to craft the stool from the stool template. Decorate a rock
with it, and then choose "Sit" or "Use" - I don't remember which. Then after
a few moments of standing up, you should receive a new template.

1a. Introduction
-------------------
I personally am an avid fan of survival games (having played and finally
beaten Lost in Blue and Lost in Blue 2). Once this one came out I got began
to play and got addicted. It's probably about time I contributed to the
walkthrough scene anyway. It'll take some time for this FAQ to be completed
though, seeing as I have exams and common tests still coming up for me. So
please bear with the constant missing gaps here and there, and feel free to
e-mail me should you think I've missed out anything here.
Note that GameFAQs will have the most updated version of my walkthrough at
all times, as I'm mainly operatin from there.
Should you wish to find anything, use Ctrl+F and search for the titles or
keywords, as this guide is pretty long.

3. Gameplay
---------------
The gameplay in The Sims 2: Castaway is simple: you have a total of six
different motive bars: hunger, energy, social, comfort, hygiene and bladder.
Yes, bladder. Well, your Sims ARE human, and this is a typical Sims game
we're talking about...
You also have a survival guide at the top left of your screen. It's the
little pale blue book with a cool-looking logo on it. Tap on it to eat
(it brings up the eat screen pretty automatically)
The tabs are all pretty self explanatory, including food, objects, templates,
clothes, relationships, inspiration and ideas, and the map. Out of all
of them, the most useful one is the map tab - the one with a compass icon
on it. It brings up a map of all the places you've visited. Tap the orange
icon on where you want to visit and voila! You're there. Very handy thing,
and I spent the entire first few weeks walking about like an idiot. Can you
believe it?

4. Walkthrough
---------------
Note: This guide is a general one, and you don't strictly need to actually
adhere to what this guide says and does. This is not something like a set
of rules and laws, but a guide for you to follow. But if you feel more
comfortable following the guide, then by all means do so.
The directions of left and right are more or less like the way you face
the DS screen, not you with your back to the DS screen. Just bear that
in mind as you read this guide.
****************
a) Washed Ashore
****************
After having chosen your character's appearance, you'll be immediately
greeted with the cutscene of your character blown backwards by the bellow
of the leaving ferry - or what looks like to be one, anyway. The screen
changes to blue (ah, glorious blue) and you are entertained with a visual
diary of how exactly our poor protagonist ended up on the deserted island.
Quite unpleasant, but now the task falls on us to keep him/her alive.
Upon the start of the game, we seen a blinking lightbulb at the very top
of the screen. You may tap on it and check out on what our game has to say.
Turns out it's teaching us how to walk and move about. Head a bit to the left
of the screen and you'll see our first ever fruit - a watermelon, which
originated from Africa. But that's not the point of this, so we'll move on.
Feed your poor Sim and they'll have restored around 50 pts of your hunger.
Oh, joy. You won't see these for a while. See the arrow on the floor?
Tap it, and you'll be transported to another screen with bits of debris and
stuff. Pick them up and build a shelter with them. It's simple, nothing
fancy, made of palm and driftwood. You don't get much sleep with them either,
but we'll have to make do. After taking a brief nap,tap the left arrow at
the furthest part of the screen and you should be able to see a coconut tree.
The game then proceeds to instruct you to shake it. This little beauty fills
up 13 pts of your hunger meter. Not much, but as you move around on the
island, you'll find waaay more coconuts and soon you'll start to appreciate
how much coconuts can save your life. There's something called a crafting
rock there, and at that place you'll be able to craft whatever you like.
Very handy. Tap the next arrow to take yourself to the next area. You'll
see a big rock there. Tap on it, and it should bring up two options:
"Examine" or "Hunt for Bugs".
Yes, bugs. Tap on the "Hunt for Bugs" option and immediately you shall come
across the very first mini-game in Castaway. Relatively straightforward and
simple: squish as many escaping bugs as possible with your stylus, which
in turn become coloured splatches once you have successfully squished them.
In fact, if you do manage to squish all the bugs, a few rather rare ones
will come up, such as the fuschia, jade and blue bug. All of these are
essential in later stages, so I suggest that you try your best and squish
all of them. For now, they are just food. Really icky food that takes off
some 15 or 10 points off your hygiene and comfort meter, so it's not really
recommended for you to feed them this foodstuff unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, it's your choice. There's also a stream in the same area where
you can take a bath in and fill up your hygiene meter. The sea also serves
more of less the same purpose, but you won't really fill up that much
until you see the real bathing area. But that's for later.
Once you've had your fill of bug-squishing fun, go another few screens
across until you reach a dead end with a rock. Tap on the rock and
choose "Examine". At this point, you're stuck with just the coastline, but
never fear, there's a lot more to be found around the coast. Go back to the
area where your shelter is. Preferably, bring up the surivival guide and tap
the compass. You'll be given an entire map, marked with the locations which
you've visited. Tap the green square and instantly you'll be taken to your
shelter. We call this island teleportation. There's an arrow to the north
which you might have already discovered. There you'll find sticks and...
a wall of vines blocking your path. So that area's cordoned off for now.
There's a stone or two that you can pick up too. Head back to your shelter
and start a little fire, though fortunately, even if it goes out, you'll
still be able to sleep.
Throughout the entire journey, feel free to take as many naps as you like.
I must warn you, sometimes sleeping doesn't necessarily fill up your energy
meter all the time though. Keep eating your way all this time. By the 2nd or
3rd day, you'll see bushes with fruit on them. Tap on them to bring up
mainly three options for now: "Examine", "Forage" or "Use". For some plants,
you can only examine them, as they are withered and don't produce, and hence
you can't "forage" them. That will be taken care of later. Tap on "Use", and
you'll find that your Sim uses these bushes as a toilet. This will fill up
your "Bladder" meter - but your "Hygiene" meter will drop drastically. Very
drastically. Head to the freshwater stream and wash immediately, or risk
one very pessimistic and gloomy sim.
Now, head to the second-last area to the right of the coastline. You'll see
some gnarled wood and another coconut tree. Shake it should there be any
fruit. The gnarled wood is very useful for an easel later on where you paint
with crushed beetles. There's another arrow down there at the very edge at
the south of the beach. Tap that area and you'll find your Sim swimming
in a sea. Here, you can dive, OR alternatively, click on the other arrow
to head to the remains of your poor sunken ship and pick up an anchor there.
You're done with the ship for now. Later on, once you obtain a small metal pole,
you can use it to craft a crowbar and open the door (tap around at the gray
door with two circles on it. You should get "Examine" first. After you've
gotten the crowbar, you can "Open" the door). There's a crate inside
containing all sorts of festive goodies. You can open it three times
to complete your collection.
Back to the place where you Sim was swimming. At this diving spot you can find
Pink Murex, which is essential for later quests, and coral and shells.
But that's all up to you. Look hard on the beach once you get back. See the
three rocks? You'll need around five per rock to make an SOS signal.
Unfortunately, instead of doing the logical thing and dropping down to
rescue your stranded sim on the island, the people who pass by drop
all sorts of stuff at the area, including a nice slab of meat. That's
handy, and remember to check back to the area everyday. But that's for
later.
Now, remember where you were washed up? You can head there every day to find
crates/boxes/palm leaves/driftwood washed up, and that is essential to future
item crafting and shelter upgrading. Head to the to the right of the beach
and find a water bottle there. Pick it up, and feel free to fill it up at
the freshwater stream. Rest up, eat up, and get ready for your next
adventure.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Crafted your shelter
b) Found the bug rocks
c) Found the gnarled wood - possibly craft the easel
d) Found the sunken ship
e) Obtained the water bottle
f) Filled it up with fresh water
And later on in the game:
a) Craft the SOS signal in the very south of the coast
b) Get the crowbar to open the sunken ship's door
*******************************
b)First Castaway - Dr. Feelgood
*******************************
Head back to the dead end with the bush. You should see red fruit on it.
Forage for some funny looking red fruit called Sparkleberry. Your
sim will also notice that a rock's fallen down, and now you can
officially explore a new area. Climb up the rock face and come to...
another rather blank looking area. Pick up the twigs on the left of the
screen and forage for some more food, aka tomatoes. Proceed to the other
area with the arrow.
In the next screen, you'll see a woman lying on her very well made shelter
(I'm seeing green here) with a pestle next to her. Tap her and select
"Greet". You'll see what exactly went wrong with her - she's a doctor and
she's too ill to go out and grab the medicine. So the task falls to you,
au naturelle. She'll ask for a catfish, and give you your harpoon. Head back
down the cliff face and tap the sea. This time, you'll see a third item
come up: namely spear fishing. Tap that option and you'll see play your
first bout of spearing.
This game is straightforward, but tricky when it comes to spearing the fish.
My advice to you is that you better aim for the head of the fish, and watch
their swimming pattern. The catfish is very recognizable. It's got white
funny looking tusks protruding out of it's mouth and looks like a green
carp. Get a few of them, and you shouldn't really go wrong with it. Go back
to the doctor (the survival guide map is faster) and give her the catfish
with the option "deliver items". She'll mash up the carp. Tap "Offer help"
yet again and this time, she'll ask for some berries. Now remember the
berries you picked off from below the cliff face? Those are the berries she
wants. If you don't have them, backtrack down and forage for them. Give her
what she wants and she'll crush the berries all over again. Offer help again
and she'll want... a bottle of water. Yes, the bottle that you refilled at
the freshwater stream? That's the one. So give her the bottle, and she'll
mix it up with her catfish-sparkleberry paste... and she's all up and
running, with a completely full relationship bar. From this point onwards,
you'll be able to trade with her, and as time goes by, more and more items
will be added to her trading list. Dr. Feelgood also has the hammer handle
that you need to make a hammer. You'll also receive a piece of metal.
Now that is essential for the hatchet you'll be crafting soon.
After performing the good deed, go back to where you were washed up and open
the crate. At some point, you will receive a stick with a loop. That should
be the handle for your hatchet. Craft your hatchet at the crafting rock,
rest and eat, and you're ready for the next area...
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found Dr Feelgood and:
i) Gotten her the cat fish
ii) Gotten her the berries along the coast (Sparkleberries)
iii) Given her the water bottle with water
b) Obtained the fishing spear from Dr. Feelgood
c) Gotten the hatchet head
*NOTE!* The hatchet stick is washed ashore shortly after the
quest. Once you've gotten that then you can craft your hatchet.
d) Crafted the hatchet
*******************************
c) Second Castaway - Ms. Weeder
*******************************
When you wake up at your shelter, fill up your stats first, and pick up a
coconut. Hopefully you haven't used the twigs from last time's adventure,
because you'll be needing it for this time. Remember the thick vines that
hung like a tapestry? Well, it's time to chop it down. Go all the way to
the end of the path and tap on the tapestry. You should see another
new option called "Remove". Tap on the option and your sim should
automatically start hacking away at the growth. This will open up a new
area. Tap on the arrow.
Well, what do we have here? Another castaway. This one's called Ms.
Weeder. Be a good and kind citizen - cough - I mean fellow
castaway and offer your help to her. She wants to revive the banana
plant close to her shelter, and needs your help. Feeling like the
Island Superman/Supergirl/Batman/Batwoman/Hero/Heroine now, eh?
At this, you'll receive another template - this time for a water
carrier that acts like a watering can. If you like, you can hang around a
bit and you'll see... Ms. Weeder whipping out a watering can and watering
her plots of plants. Oh, the irony. Anyway, you should see the poor neglected
plant. It's to the left of her shelter. Tap on it, and examine it to confirm
it's the banana plant. Now, see the arrow next to the banana plant? Tap that
to go to the next area and... voila! What do you have? A sparkling pure water
pool with running water and COCONUTS! Ah, paradise! Just to let you know,
this pool restores THE highest hygiene I've ever seen so far, so you might
want to keep your map out and tap there for the quickest way to get to keep
your hygiene up... Check out the stone at the northern part of the screen,
and you'll acquire the ability to make a grappling hook. Remember the
anchor you got? Once you get the rope template (refer to the FAQ section),
you'll be able to craft a grappling hook, and yet again another area
comes up.
That area, once you climb up, doesn't really have much to it. Just a
coconut tree and a tuning fork. There's also a funny little stick there,
and the description reads something involving a rescue team. Hmm, is that
a hint?
Head back to the crafting rock via map. Tap on it, and you'll see a funny
looking halved coconut on a stick. That, my friend, is your water carrier.
Craft it out of small sticks and a coconut, and fill it up at the closest
FRESHWATER stream/pond/pool. Sea water doesn't work. Now go back to the
banana plant and water it, doing so every day, until it finally yields and
gives fruit. Shake the banana off the tree and hand it over to Ms. Weeder.
That's one quest done.
Head over to Chef Butcher's area (elaborated in the next section) and
finish his chilli and Peach Quest. Once you're done, go back to Ms.
Weeder and offer help to her again.
This time, she'll complain about her plants dying and needing a cure.
Oh, goodie, time to be Superman again.
Trek back to Dr. Feelgood (hopefully, you've kept up a good relationship)
and tap on her. Tap the option "Ask for help" and you'll explain to her what
Ms. Weeder needs. Dr. Feelgood will then agree to help you out, but she needs
some bugs. Crushed bugs. You should have most of them, but there's a slightly
tricky coloured bug you need to get. That's the blue bug.
Head to any bug hunting rock and you'll be required to
squish ALL THE PRESENT BUGS before the blue bugs crawl out. Smash them up to,
and take it back Dr. Feelgood. Now she'll ask for three different fish:
salmon, black carp and cowcod. The first two originate from the lake;
the cowcod comes from the ocean. Once you've got them, head back to the
doctor and give it all to her. She'll give you a green cure in return.
Trek back to Ms. Weeder and give her the cure. You'll receive the shovel
handle and the shovel head. Go to the crafting block and craft a shovel.
One thing I need to clarify here - the green cure for Ms. Weeder is the
one with the TEST TUBE. It's called Plant Nutrients, if my memory serves
me correctly. It's different from the one that Dr. Feelgood has on offer
(the one in a green, round-bottomed flask), so bear that in mind,
peoples!
Once you've done with these two quests, DON'T OFFER HELP TO HER YET. You need
to complete another quest to get what she wants for another person. Instead,
head to the far right of the screen and explore. There, you'll see another
coconut tree and two bushes - one large and tall, and the other short and
small. Forage them both to find yams and vines. Vines are essential to make
rope AND to craft your new shelter, so I suggest checking back on this area
frequently to grab some new materials.
Continue right to find a cave. Sparkly, isn't it? You'll see a skeleton
wearing a pirate's hat. Creepy. Don't worry, it won't suddenly spring back
to life and scare the crap out of you. Take it's pirate hat and if you want,
feel free to converse with the guy. You'll gain social points for that, quite
bizzarely. Pick up the mushrooms and continue right.
Past the cave with the skeleton, you'll find coconuts once again, and two
withered plants, a pineapple plant and a rice plant respectively. Feel free
to water them. You'll get tasty pineapple and be able to harvest rice once
watered. Trek next and get ready to continue to the next area... only to
find a broken bridge. Killjoy. On the bright side, you get the bridge and
the rope template, which is also needed to make a grappling hook. You're
done with this area for now.
If you like and want to get on the game really quickly, you can grab two
pieces of driftwood and make some rope with three vines. Head back to the
broken bridge and tap "repair bridge". It'll bring up another menu. Once
you've done that you can now go across the bridge, and that'll lead you
to the second island on the right of the screen. However, that area will
be covered later on in the other section when suddenly, this island
becomes essential for a quest.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Met Ms. Weeder
b) Completed her banana quest
c) Obtained the water carrier
d) Found the pool which restores the highest hygiene
e) Found the cliff and obtained the grappling hook template
f) Found the broken bridge in the area right of the sparkly
cave
g) Gotten the rope and the bridge template; the rope template
is a question mark template, while the bridge can be
reconstructed when you go back to the broken bridge;
there should be an option "Repair Bridge".
********************************
d) Third castaway - Chef Butcher
********************************
Chef Butcher is definitely NOT on my favourites list on castaways. Go to
Dr. Feelgood and tap on the vine overgrowth and remove it with your hatchet.
A new area should open up. Tap the arrow and head to the new area. By now,
you should have enough material to craft youself a far superior shelter.
Once you have the time, go back to your shelter and tap it, and select
"Craft Shelter". It requires two dried overgrowths, vines and two driftwood.
Once you have all you need, you'll have the log shelter. Now this one fully
restores your energy and comfort meter, and that's a good thing.
First thing you'll see is another rocky outcrop. There's a withered avacado
plant and a bird's nest. Water the avacado if you like and then collect an
egg from the bird's nest. Feel sorry for the mother bird, but for some odd
reason, the egg keeps respawning, around one egg per day. Continue to the
northern arrow and see a guy hopping up and down in front of a very pretty
cherry blossom. Once you (the player) have stopped laughing, go to the guy
and offer help. He'll want the peaches but he can't reach them. Now what
has past experience taught us? We don't get fruit by hopping up and
down like rabbits (sorry to all rabbit fans here), we SHAKE them. So do a
demo to the chef and shake the peach tree. Give him a peach and he'll be
ever so happy. Offer help again and this time he'll complain about the food
being too bland. He wants some chilli peppers. So trek back to Ms Weeder
using your survival guide, and you'll see a mysterious plant right next
to her. That's the chilli plant. At this juncture, the "Offer Help" option
should be available once again. Now, I wonder how the plant got there...?
The red chilli plant grows up on its, own. After it's fully grown, forage
it when you see red chillies on them. Feel free to water the raspberry plant
too for some raspberries.
Take the chillies back to Chef Butcher and he'll rejoice and eat them. O.o.
Talk to him one more time and he'll ask for a FIRE PIT. Yes, a fire pit.
This one needs stones, a shovel and small sticks. The stones can be obtained
by a)digging or b) picking up from the shore line. Now comes the tricky part.
Head back to the chef once you have all the items and tap on his fireplace.
You'll get "craft fire" and then you'll upgrade his fireplace. Once you've
done that, light a fire and automatically he ends up next to you. Offer help
again and he starts to whinge about wanting to cook something on his new
grill, the recipe including lime and sardines. You'll also obtain a chisel.
Head to the next screen and you'll see a fallen trunk. This is the basis of
a canoe. Remember the hammer handle from Dr. Feelgood? Well, trade in some
pufferfish, a green bug, a jade bug and a fuschia bug and you'll get it. The
jade and fuschia bug, like the blue bug, can only be obtained once you squish
all the present bugs in the rock. The pufferfish can be found in the bay you
were washed up in the noon time, as in, when the sun is fully up. You can't
miss it. It's got teeth snapping at the top of its head and is brown in
colour. The sardines are the smaller fishies, and they are tricky to spear,
but in the end, you'll manage it. Your lime, however, comes a lot later as
you need to grab some mangoes for Ms. Weeder before you can actually trade
with her - read as: "Finish all her quests".
Once you have the hammer and the chisel, go to the trunk and make the canoe.
It drains a lot of your energy, so sleep between rounds, or you'll faint
and chimps will carry you back and nick some of your stuff.
Once you've finished (you need to make it three times), sleep and go
back to Ms. Weeder. Time to get on with another task.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found the bird's nest and the avacado tree
b) Done the Chef's Peach Quest
c) Done the Chef's Chilli Quest
*Note: At this juncture, you can do Ms. Weeder's dying plant quest*
d) Crafted the fire pit for Chef Butcher.
*REMEMBER YOU CAN'T FINISH THE QUEST IF YOU DON'T LIGHT THE FIRE!*
e) Gotten the chisel
f) Crafted the hammer (if you haven't done so already)
g) Accepted the lime-and-sardines quest - but not completed it yet
h) Crafted the canoe thoroughly
******************************
e) Ms. Weeder and her Mangoes
******************************
Offer your help to Ms. Weeder (it's getting a bit tedious, isn't it?) and find
out that she needs mangoes. Oh, god. Mangoes. Head back to your now finished
craft (if you haven't, refer to the above) and tap on it to travel
to a new area on in our Castaway world. But before that, you can actually go
and fill up your water carrier in preparation for your next major adventure...
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Offered your help to Ms. Weeder on the mangoes. Uh, yeah. That's about it.
***************************************
f) A Whole New World - The Third Island
***************************************
Excuse the pun with the Disney Song (you know, A Whole New World in Aladdin?)
Once you arrive, you can water the poor withered peach plant for some tasty
and filling peaches. Once you're done with that, tap the arrow on the north
and head upwards to the next area.
Once you're in the area, you'll immediately notice two things: firstly, the
lake's a PLUS SHAPE. Now where in geography did that manage to happen? But
then, this is the Sims world we're talking about. Now, can you see the
mango tree? Not really. It took me a few tries to get to it. But that
aside, tap around the area where you should be standing. At the veeery
left of the screen, you should see a tree. Tap on it, and it brings up
"Shake tree". Now that is a mango tree. Grab some of the fruit. Wait!
You're not done yet. Take a look at the "Clothes" section of your
survival guide. Tap on tops and check out your outfit. Hello?
Cleanliness at 0%???? No wonder your Sim's sometimes bothered. Okay,
and maybe you're bored of the colour of your top. Right.
Swim in the lake, and dive around for fun if you like. Here, you'll
get some pretty awesome items, like yellow slugs and broken bottles, which
you'll need for the telescope. Continue north and tap on the north arrow
yet again.
You'll come out in an area with a completely wrecked and broken crashed
plane. Okay. Seriously, that is scary. Wonder which unlucky soul ended up
on this island? Pick up the metal pole that is shining on the floor in
the dazzlingly blinding sunlight, and you'll get the template for
the crowbar. I suggest crafting the crow bar for later uses. Alright,
now do you see the trunk with water filled in it? Tap on it, and take
your time is scrubbing your Sim's clothes clean - or alternatively,
dye them a different colour. Anyway, it's your choice. Go back
to Ms. Weeder and hand her the mangoes, and finally you finish her
quests, and get to trade with her.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found the third island
b) Found the plus-shaped lake
c) Watered the peach plant (optional)
d) Found the dying/washing basin
e) Found the small metal bar for the crowbar
f) Obtained the crowbar template
g) Picked the mangoes for Ms. Weeder
h) Given the mangoes to Ms. Weedder and unlocked the Trade option
*******************************
g) Finishing the Chef's Firepit
*******************************
Ms. Weeder has a host of seeds waiting for you, the lime seed and the
brazil nut seed being the most important. For the time being, I
suggest you pick up the lime seed to finish the chef's quest
(hopefully you'd have speared a sardine or two) - aka the recipe of
the fire pit. Plant the lime seed and water it regularly, as you do
with most plants. While we wait, we can probably go back to the third
island, and help the fourth and last castaway we'll find on this island.
Go back to the third island via canoe - or just teleport there via your
map. Your choice.
Go to the plus-shaped lake and toggle your screen to the very right.
Do you see another arrow? Tap on it, and head into the new area,
where we'll meet the most unfortunate castaway of them all.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Traded the lime seed and the brazil nut seed
********************************
h) Fourth Castaway: Suzy McDress
********************************
Well, what do we have here? An enviable looking tent made out of cloth,
pretty blue flowers and dandelions floating about it the air. There's even
a bush but... hang on a second. No castaway? Nyah. Appearances are, as we
all know, deceiving at times. Tap on the bush. It brings up "Examine" and
"Greet". Okay, greet the bush. Yes, sounds mental, but trust me, it works.
Eventually, you'll come face to face with a redhead. Welcome Suzy McDress
into the castaway scene. Apparently, her clothes got stolen by chimps and
she's got no clothes to wear. Now look closely, and realize she's wearing
a blue t-shirt. Or maybe it's the new "blur" in the Castaway world. But
never mind that much. Chat to her a bit, and she'll want two coconuts and
some vines to make a top for herself to wear. We've seen enough coconuts
for the time being, and hopefully you've kept at least two with you at all
times, not to mention the single vine. Once you've got them, deliver them
to Suzie McDress. She'll be thrilled. Offer your help to her, and this time
she wants a grass skirt. That'll require palm fronds and tall grass. You've
seen enough palm fronds around the area, but what about the tall grass?
Time to finish the chef's recipe.
Has your lime tree grown tall enough? If you haven't even planted them,
do pick up the seeds and water and plant them. Also, remember to alsways
keep up the relationship with is mainly Chef Butcher and Ms. Weeder, as
they drop pretty easily if you neglect them for too long. After around four
to five days of constant care for your plant, you'll find a green fruit
hanging around the branches of the tree. Shake that and head to the chef.
Deliver your goods and he'll be completely thrilled and hand over a knife.
Ooh, shiny. Rest up, and we'll go material gathering after that.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found and seen Suzy McDress
b) Finished her top
c) Checked on your lime tree - and harvested them
d) Obtained the knife from Chef Butcher
********************************************
i) A Whole New World II - Across the Bridge
********************************************
I'm betting that most of you actually have gone and went to the other side of
the bridge before even I got to it, but since I haven' really introduced the
area yet, I'll make it end up here.
Once you head across the bridge, you'll be greeted with a massive whacking
stone door with a pirate's skull on it. Looks something like the danger sign.
Head up the north arrow and you'll find a place with fallen statue heads
and pillars. Shift your entire screen to the left and you'll see a very
dark doorway. Tap on it and it brings up "Explore Temple". This place
is very useful if you want to complete your collection, as this place
is a host to many different things, such as topaz, rubies, crystals,
silver skulls, gold coins, jade elephants... the list goes on and on.
Unfortunately, you cannot actually wander about inside, and it's all up to
your Sim to find the item. Ah, well.
Exit back to the area with a pirate door, and this time tap on the arrow
on the right side of the screen. This brings you to a very jungle-like
growth with a bug rock, a stone and... a particular patch of tall grass?
Tap on it and select "chop down", now that you have the knife. The new
rock (not the bug rock) is the rock for crafting new clothes. Bear that
in mind if you want some more exotic, island-like new threads. If you like,
you can also tap to the other arrow further right of the screen to reach
a rocky outcrop similar to the one to the left of Dr. Feelgood's area.
There's not much unless you want to find some stuff in the temple.
You can dig around as well to grab a piece of flint and another stone
throughout the island, and you'll get another template for an axehead.
Hm, now that's handy...
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Mended the bridge
b) Found the skull doors
c) Found the abandoned temple
d) Found the grass - and cut it down
e) Found the clothing station
*****************************
j) Errands for the Seamstress
*****************************
*I was flipping through the boards the other day and a user called
Detroit222 pointed out that it was not pufferfish put striped bass.
I have rectified that error, and would like to thank them for pointing
it out on the boards.*
Go back to estranged Suzy McDress and give her the items. Finally she
has something to wear at the bottom and she'll come out of the bush. Offer
your help to her yet again, and she'll want a different type of material
which looks like cloth. Oh, gee. Never mind that much. The cloth can be
obtained from Dr. Feelgood, in return of a striped bass.
The striped bass is speared in freshwater areas around the island.
It's usually caught in dusk, if my memory serves me correctly,
and isn't too much of a challenge to spear. Just wait for the fish
to stop, then stab down and hope it doesn't move at all. Yeah. Then
trade with Dr. Feelgood for the material and bring it back to Suzy.
This time, she'll head back into the bushes and come out with a rather
unappealing gray top. Well, we need to change that. Give her your help
and she'll want red bugs. Again, the bugs you need are obtained by
getting the perfect score. Whoopee. By now, you should have mastered
the art of bug squishing and this should be a piece of cake. Bring her
the bugs and she'll dye her top red. At this, finally the game brings
up that you can dye stuff on the island. Kinda late, isn't it, when
you've already found out AND probably dyed your clothes different
colours.
Between all these quests, go back to all your previous areas and rest,
wash, use the toilet, forage keep, up relationships and stuff in
between if you feel like it. Once you're ready, go back Suzy and offer
your help to her. She'll want a flagpole, and give you an axe handle.
Did you craft an axehead yet? If you did, then head to the crafting
rock and make an axe. Chop two or three coconut trees (they're
replaceable, don't worry, and you won't starve. You'll get palm
fronds as an extra bonus) and a vine.
Craft the flagpole at the crafting station and deliver it to Suzy.
She'll be thrilled. Joy. Offer your help to her again and she'll want
fuschia bugs to dye the flag. Simple enough. So grab the bugs and hand
them over. She'll dye the flag pink. Now look at the flag. The flag's
actually a pirate's flag. *speechless*
Now for the final task. Offer your help to Suzy McDress and she'll
have something about doing a duet with a musical instrument. And
the instrument she's referring to is... the ocarina. No, not the
Ocarina of Time from Zelda. Just a plain old Castaway style
Ocarina. Make it out of a hollowed piece of wood, nails and
a stone. Once you've made it, go back to her and play a
musical duet. It's simple. Whatever she plays, it comes up on the
screen as a button. Remember the button, hold it down and blow,
note by note, and you'll have finished the quests for
Suzy McDress. She'll give you a metal pole. Now that's for
the Chef. Rest up, and get ready to finish the Chef's tasks.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Finished her funny skirt
b) Gotten the cloth material for Suzy
c) Gotten the flagpole template - and finished the flagpole
quest
d) Found out about dying and washing your clothes
e) Gotten the pink pirate flag at Suzy's place
f) Played the ocarina with Suzy
g) Finished all her quests.
h) Gotten the metal pole which you need for the next quest.
**********************************
k) One Quest Down, One Curry to Go
**********************************
Well, thanks must go to Suzy McDress for helping us out with the pole. Before
you head to this quest, I suggest you trade some bamboo seeds, sugar cane,
brazil nuts and eggplant seeds. Water and plant them in earth mounds.
They'll come in handy later on.
Go to the Chef and he's really happy with his fire pit. However, he's got only
a bit of a complaint: he wants to improve his cooking fire a second time. And
guess what we need? A metal pole, a length of bamboo and an axe. You should
have gotten this from Suzy McDress. Just head off to him and if you have all
the items, just craft the fire automatically. And when you're done with that,
talk to him. He'll be thrilled, and you'll open up the option to be able to
trade recipes with him.
Now go to Dr. Feelgood and tap on her. Ask for help...? And I thought we were
done with her. Never mind that much. Head over to her and offer help yet again.
And what does she want? Green curry! Well, that's a bit of a hard thing, but
we'll manage it. Now remember when I asked you to plant sugar cane, brazil nuts
and eggplants? Well, you need to visit your brazil nut tree for two days to get
the two brazil nuts for the green curry recipe and trade it with Chef Butcher.
It's the pot of overflowing green liquid. The recipe requires sugar cane,
eggplant, chilli and a knife. You shouldn't really have much difficulty
if you've planted the items that I suggested above. But if you haven't, you'd
better do so now. Anyway, once you've harvested the sugar cane and foraged the
chilli and eggplant, cook it at your fire pit and then give it to Dr. Feelgood.
Now that takes care of everything.
Dr. Feelgood will give you the last piece of the map that hopefully you've been
collecting all over the island at various stages. They're the little pieces
of paper all over the island. There's one piece of map that I need to point
out though, as these map pieces usually look out of place in their area, with
their pale brown, parchment colour. The one that most people don't actually
find is the one in front of the skull doors. Now that the map's completed,
I wonder what comes next...?
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Gotten the bamboo, sugar cane, brazil nut and eggplant seeds
b) Finished the Chef's fire spit - and all his quests.
c) Gotten the green curry recipe from Chef Butcher
d) Finished the Green Curry quest for Dr. Feelgood - and finished her quests
e) Most likely completed the map (if not refer to the FAQ section below)
**********
l) The End
**********
I was actually rather tempted to put "End of the World" as the title for this
section taken after the Pirates of Carribean. After all, we have seen pirate
traces all around this island. So where does the map lead, eh? Look at it hard.
Really hard. I'll leave it to you to find out where the "X" is supposed to be.
****
******
**O**O**

What? You just want me to tell you? Ah, well, alright then. I was just hoping
to let you enjoy the hunt. It took me a total of a few hours of poring
over the map and back to find it, but in the end, I managed.
Remember the area next to the clothing station? Well, if you visit the place,
toggle the screen just a bit upwards with your D-Pad. And you'll notice
something new. Another arrow...? Alright then. Tap the arrow, and it'll save
"Dive into the Sea". Okay, this is creepy. Anybody does jetty jumping? Well,
here it's more or less the same. Tap on the arrow. You'll be faced with a
cutscene of your sim falling down a rocky cliff, and down and down and down
and down and down and down and down and down and down and down they go...
And SPLASH They end up in another area. This one is an underground cavern with
a ship in it. And no, it's intact. Tap on the treasure chest and select
"Search". You'll come up with a template. Tap on the middle arrow which reads
"Enter the Ship". Congradulations! That's it of the Castaway game. You've
managed to finish the game completely. However, most likely you haven't really
completed the entire collection yet. Some people have managed to finish off
the entire collection to 100%. So you can stay and collect stuff, or
alternatively, get off the island. I suggest you stay and collect the stuff.
The sense of achievement you get is awesome.
========
Summary
========
By now, you should have:
a) Found the underwater cave and the pirate ship.
b) Finished the entire storyline of the Sims 2: Castaway. Congrats!

5. Characters
-------------
There are a total of four castaways on this island, excluding
yourself. All of them have different likes and dislikes, and also
different items to trade and quests to complete. This section
basically gives a rundown on what quest is what, who likes what
and what person can trade what for what. These people are:
i)Dr. Feelgood
ii)Ms. Weeder
iii)Chef Butcher
iv)Suzy McDress
Note: I have managed to piece together a few background stories
for our characters here, but I don't know all their ornaments and
likes and dislikes. For the ones with "n/a", it doesn't mean that
they don't have any likes or dislikes - it just means I haven't
really found out about it yet. If you have any idea, feel free
to e-mail me. My e-mail's in the contact section. The trading
section works like this:
*Item of Interest* = *Items that you need to complete trade*

*A lot of people have sent in Chef Butcher's story. If I missed any
of you please write in so I can put your name down as well.*
************
Dr. Feelgood
************
This is the first castaway you'll find on the island, and the quests
are the easiest to complete. Alright, except for the curry quest
anyway. She has a stock of cures, materials (leather, driftwood,
palm fronds).
The Background Story: Dr. Feelgood was in a hot air balloon and was
heading to the moon when a lightning struck her
down and she fell onto the island. Yeah.
Likes: Not much. She is always happy - just don't neglect her too much.

**********
Ms. Weeder
**********
The second castaway that you'll find on the island. She's a gardner and
what I think can be qualified as a biologist. Her quests are a bit daunting,
and require days and days of waiting, not to mention actually paddling in
a canoe. She stocks different types of seeds waiting for you to trade and
grow and use in recipes.
Background Story: She was living on a farm whena tornado picked her up and
carried her to the island while she was farming.

************
Chef Butcher
************
The third castaway found on the island. As his name implies, he's a pretty good
cook, but at the same time, a bit dimwitted, no offence here. I mean, remember
in the peach tree quest? He's hopping up and down constantly but doesn't really
consider shaking the tree. He gives you two different items though, both which
are important in the story line. He stocks all sorts of recipes, some which
are also essential in the story line.
*Note: I have traded some items with the chef already hence and this list is
rather incomplete. Help would be greatly appreciated*
Background Story: He was travelling on a cruise ship when he stepped on a
banana skin, dropped a person's food, got kicked off the boat and left him
behind on an island. Sad.
Likes: Peaches, Eggs, Cheese, Cooked Food, Guacamole, Fruit Salad, Long Beans,
Potatoes, Brown Mushroom and White Mushroom (+6 for each mushroom)
Dislikes: Red Mushrooms (-6 for each mushroom)
Decorative Items: Waiter Board, Golden Garden Gnome (possibly)
Items That Can Be raded:

Veggie Burger Recipe = Yam x1
Shish Kebab Recipe = Rice x1
Spiced Fish Risotto = Tomato x1
Fish Casserole Recipe = Potato x1
Driftwood Pole = Vine x1
Sweet And Sour Beans = Corn x1
GingerSim Recipe = Sugar Cane x1
************
Suzy McDress
************
The fourth and final castaway that is found on the island. She's a young
student who's talented at sewing, and is probably one of the hardest ones
in the game. Once you finish her quests, you can trade with her for various
different clothing.
*Note: I have traded some items with Suzy already and hence this list is
rather incomplete. Help would be greatly appreciated*
Background: (From what I pieced together) She was on the island and was waving
to a ship to pick her up when chimps stole her clothes. So she'd rather stay
than go on the ship on in her birthday suit. Yeah.
Likes: Guacamole, Soda, Chocolate Bar, Eggs and Cheese
Decorative Items: Red Radio, Teeth on Stick
Items that can be traded:
Watermelon = Root x3 + Yellow Slug x1
Leather Shoes Design = Yellow Coral x1
3D Glasses = Fire Sushi x1 + Sweet Chili Veggies x1 + Green Cure x1

6. Collection
-------------
This area of mine isn't really finished yet, so check back for updates. The
entire collection is divided up into different sections, like template, food,
recipes, upgrade, objects, gadgets and stuff. I'll be slowly completing this
section as I trawl around for information and gather some of my own. So yeah.
Also, note the difference between some sections which don't have an
explanation. Those are the ones which I most likely haven't put up or
haven't found yet, so bear with me please.

13. Tools
---------
i) Drinking Bottle
You get this baby when it's washed ashore on the third game day.
ii) Fishing Spear
When you first meet Dr. Feelgood, she'll ask you for a catfish.
Then you get her harpoon/fishing spear.
iii) Hammer
Trade with Dr. Feelgood for the hammer handle first, then go to
the crafting rock and craft the hammer template - you should
see it once you've gotten the hammer handle.
iv) Watering Can
v) Axe
Suzy McDress will give you the axe handle for the flag pole
quest. If you've done all of Ms. Weeder's quests, you should
be able to trade the axe head recipe with her. Once you have
crafted the axe head you can craft the axe.
vi) Plant Nutrients
Note: this is NOT the green cure that Dr. Feelgood has available
for trade. This is the one with a test tube. Once you get that
quest, ask Dr. Feelgood for help and you'll be send into another
mini quest to get the ingredients for the plant nutrients.
vii) Grappling Hook
Go and get the anchor on the sunken cargo ship, then check out the
broken bridge (if you haven't checked it out yet). You should get
the rope template, which appears in the shape of a question mark.
It's the one which requires three vines. Once you've crafted your
rope, you can craft the grappling hook, whose template should be
available once you get the anchor.
viii) Knife
Finish Chef Butcher's lime-and-sardines quest after his fire pit
quest and he'll hand over the knife.
ix) Water Carrier
You'll get this template once you accept Ms. Weeder's first quest.
x) Chisel
Finish Chef Butcher's fire pit quest and you'll get the chisel.
xi) Needle
You need to craft the needle from a sea urchin, the hatchet and
a bead.
xii) Crowbar
Get the small crowbar from the plane crash area and then head
to the crafting rock to see a metal pole with a bent end. That
is the crowbar.
xiii) Spade
Finish Ms. Weeder's plant nutrient quest and you should get
the head of a shovel and the handle of the shovel. You will
also get the shovel template. Head to the crafting rock and
craft the shovel.
xiv) Hatchet
Once you've finished and successfully cured Dr. Feelgood,
she'll give you the hatchet head. A few days later the
hatchet handle should wash ashore. Go to the crafting rock
and craft the hatchet.
xv) Fishing Pole
You need to grow bamboo for this. Once you've done so, check
out if you have the fishing pole template and if you do,
check if you have all the items - the thread, the nails
and the two bamboo. Once you do, craft the fishing rod.

7. Minigames
------------
There are quite a few minigames in Castaway. Here's a complete
list of them, in order of appearance:
i)Bug hunting (Bug rock)
ii)Spear fishing (Any body of water w/ harpoon)
iii)Painting (Easel on gnarled wood)
iv)Pole fishing (Any body of water w/ fishing pole)
v)Musical duet (Available only with Suzy McDress)
***************
i) Bug Hunting
***************
This game is relatively straightforward, as I have said in
the guide. Just smash up all the bugs/as many bugs as
possible. If you smash all the bugs, you'll get some
extra rare ones and you'll be able to use them to
paint, as bait, as dye and trading items.
Hint: Squish all the small bugs first as fast as you can. My
DS Screen is more or less slightly less responsive, and I find
that the best way is to jab at the screen. The long ones
are easier to squish - as long as no less than 1/5 of them is
sticking out at the edge of the screen and you can succesfully
squish them.
***************
a) Bug Colours
***************
This section is purely for those who need to find a bug but
can't seem to find it. The colours are all listed - just
Ctrl+F and look for your colour. These are listed in
alphabetical order.
Azure Bug: Area w/ food prep rock and area left of sparkly
cave
Black Bug: Area w/ rainbow and peach tree, area w/ food
prep rock, area left of sparkly cave and area
with easel/gnarled wood
Blue Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ food prep rock and area
w/ rainbow and peach tree
Brown Bug: Area w/ clothing station
Fuschia Bug: (Perfect Score) Area left of sparkly cave
Green Bug: (Perfect Score) Area left of sparkly cave and
area w/ easel/gnarled wood
Jade Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ easel/gnarled wood
Orange Bug: Area w/ clothing station and area w/ easel/
gnarled wood
Pink Bug: Area left of sparkly cave
Purple Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ rainbow and peach tree
Red Bug: Area w/ rainbow and peach tree
Tan Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ clothing station
Turquoise Bug: (Perfect Score) Area w/ clothing station
White Bug: Area w/ food prep rock and area w/ rainbow and
peach tree
Yellow Bug: Area w/ clothing station and area w/ easel/
gnarled wood
****************
ii)Spear fishing
****************
Spear fishing is harder than in its Japanese counterpart, Lost
in Blue, as I found out. Yes, the fish is more colourful and
you can distinguish what fish you're spearing, but the
reaction time is reeeeally slow.
Hint: Observe the pattern and aim for the head of the fish.
Alternatively, wait for our little fishie to stop and stab
it with your stylus. Reserve around 1 second of reaction
time.
************
iii)Painting
************
This is relatively straightforward. Just obtain the easel
using a blank canvas and craft it on the gnarled wood.
Once you get the coloured bugs, you immediately add to
your palette and scribble all over the canvas. It
boosts some stats too.
****************
iv)Pole fishing
****************
Obtain the fishing pole by crafting it at the crafting
rock with bamboo and vines. Once you've done so, head
to any big rock and fish there. Choose a coloured bug
and drop it into the water. Once in the water, slooowly
drag it over to the fish, and a thought bubble with
a question mark will appear over it. Sometimes, there
will be another bubble with a coloured bug in it. That
indicates what coloured bait the fish likes. To switch, tap
on it and cast the bait again. It takes a looooooong time
for the fish to actually take the bait - you'll know when
it's attracted when the heart shape appears, but it still
won't take the bait. Sometimes, it'll just dart off with
a "!" over its head. But when it does take the bait, the
net appears and you drag the poor fishie to the net. While
you start jumping in joy. That's about it for this
mini-game.
****************
v)Musical duet
****************
*NOTE: THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER YOU FINISH SUZY MCDRESS'
QUESTS.*
Sorry about the caps lock. That's the only way I can express
my italics/bold format in.
The game is relatively simple. Grab an ocarina crafted out
of some wood, nails and a stone and bring it to Suzy McDress.
She'll be thrilled, and not only do you get to trade with her,
but it launches you to your very first musical duet with her.
Watch her as she plays notes. Later on in the game, all you
need to do is to play with her and press the keys A,B,X,Y,L,R
and blow as she plays her tune. It'll give you more relationship
points with her as well.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
--------------------------------
Q) I've just crafted the canoe and I can only seem to "Examine" the canoe
whenever I tap on it and want to go to a new place.
A) After you've correctly crafted your canoe, there should be an arrow at the
very far right end of your canoe. Tap on that, though it is a bit tricky.
So my advice to you is that you toggle the screen to the right, before you
zoom out using the down arrow on the D-Pad until you can easily tap on
the body of the arrow.
Q) Where are the map pieces at the (position) of the entire map?
A) You can check out these places:
Flower Patch (above the area with a crafting rock): Lower right hand corner
Sparkly cave w/ skeleton: Upper left hand corner
By the pirate doors: Lower left hand corner
Dr. Feelgood's map piece: Upper right hand corner
Suzy McDress's map piece: Upper centre piece
*For Dr. Feelgood and Suzy McDress' map pieces, you need to finish all their
quests*
Q) Where is the rope template?
A) The rope template is available once you get to the broken bridge and examine
it. Then it should turn up as a question mark template, which requires three
vines. Head to the crafting rock and then hunt for that template, and craft.
Q) I can't seem to give *item* to *person*. I've given them gifts but they
don't seem to like it. What went wrong?
A) I can safely tell you that nothing is wrong. Once that happens, keep talking
to them. Yes, talking to them, even though gets you some feet stamping and
whatnot, will allow for your relationship bar to recover. Keep talking until
you're at 50% or more!
Q) I can't find the chisel! What happened?
A) You need to craft the chef's first fire pit and light it before you go
anywhere further. Then, talk to the chef again and tap "Offer Help".
You should get the chisel without any problems by then.
Q) I can't get the rice and the wheat seeds. Do I need to restart?
A) Ehh, to all those who got an e-mail saying you had to get your stuff at
32%, I have to apologize: you need to finish your game, find the boat,
get on it, sail off the island, AND THEN go back to the island. Only
then do your precious wheat and rice seeds turn up in the inventory.
Maybe Ms. Weeder got a shipment of them when we got back onto the island?
Q) What is the use of the map?
A) It's to find the pirate ship and to get off the island. That's about it.
Q) I can't get the chair! Now what?
A) First, you need to craft the stool from the stool template. Decorate a rock
with it, and then choose "Sit" or "Use" - I don't remember which. Then after
a few moments of standing up, you should receive a new template.

Contact and Personal Information
-----------------------------------
Well, a little bit about myself...
I'm a teenager (Gender: F) from Hong Kong and I'm completely obsessed with:
1) Within Temptation, Evanescence, Cradle of Filth, Nightwish, Story of the
Year
2) Death Note, Yu-Gi-Oh, Princess Princess, Naruto
3) Bishounen (translated: Beautiful men.)
4) Computers
5) Writing
6) Games (non-violent types, I'm afraid)
7) Murder stories (The irony)
8) Murder cases and mysteries across history (Even more irony)
9) Swimming and ice-skating
I regularly write fanfiction across the Internet, have an teddy bear called
Cherie and keep a LiveJournal. I also have a tendency to be called odd
nicknames, such as Calypso Carol (no clue) and CT (*blinks*).
If you have any questions regarding the game or the walkthrough, or even
errors that you found/amendments that need to made/stuff that I missed,
feel free to contact me at nieva.zafira@gmail.com. No, I don't just operate
that e-mail, but this one is strictly for my more "formal" work and
questions.
