Warnings

Hi, I just bought Sims Castaway Stories from eBay and I can get the disk to say it installed the game, but it does not appear on my desktop or in my start menu. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice. Is there something I have to do or download to get the disk to play on Windows 10?

The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

Widescreen resolution[edit]

The game's maximum default resolution is 1600x1200. For higher resolutions you need to edit the following file:

Latex yosemite. Set maxResWidth and maxResHeight to your display's native width and height, or copy/paste the following:

Field of view (FOV)[edit]

Blackmagic ultrastudio 3d driver mac catalina. Each of the game's cameras can have their FOV set independently using the fov parameter in their Camera Settings files, which are contained in %USERPROFILE%DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims™ Castaway StoriesCameras

Anti-aliasing (AA)[edit]

If your 'Edge Smoothing' slider is greyed out in-game, then it's likely that the game cannot determine how much VRAM your GPU has and is defaulting to its failsafe of 32 MB.
Raise amount of fallback value[citation needed]
  1. Navigate to the configuration file location.
  2. Open Graphics Rules.sgr.
  3. Find the following section: and change seti textureMemory to the value of your GPU's VRAM in megabytes.

Notes

This makes game use your VRAM amount as fallback value. Do not put value higher than actual VRAM amount is!

Alternative Fix
  1. Navigate to the configuration file location.
  2. Open Graphics Rules.sgr.
  3. Search for enumerateMultisampleLevels and wherever it says false next to it, correct it with true. There are multiple lines with the enumerateMultisampleLevels so keep changing to true until there are no more results.

Vertical sync (Vsync)[edit]

Toggling Vsync can cause the game to hang.[citation needed]

Vsync can only be toggled using the Cheat Console (Ctrl+ Shift+C) and using either the 'vsync off' or 'vsync on' command.

Issues fixed[edit]

Poorly Placed Objects/Frozen Objects[edit]

Periodically, special object may be placed in a bad location, preventing a sim from doing anything. In other cases, a normal object may be improperly tagged as 'in use' and cannot be moved, sold, or manipulated.
This problem can only be fixed with a mod, as moveobjects on cheat is disabled for this game.
Use 'Stuck Object Remover' mod
  1. Go here and download the file
  2. Extract .zip file to %USERPROFILE%DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims™ Castaway StoriesDownloads
  3. While in game open 'Barter Mode' (Buy mode) and in 'Nature' section and you will find yellow box.
  4. Place the box where your stuck object is.
  5. Go back to 'Live Mode' and you will receive notification that object has been eliminated from your lot.

Black Square Under Sim[edit]

Download Sim Shadow Fix
  1. Go here and download the file that suits your preferences (0.2 shadows are more opaque, 0.4 more transparent and 0.3 are in between).
  2. Extract the .package file inside the zip file you downloaded to %USERPROFILE%DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims™ Castaway StoriesDownloads
If you're using an Intel HD Graphics card, the author recommends downloading the xReallyNotMisty versions of the fix.
If the Downloads folder is missing, create it.
If your installation is in an language other than English, the The Sims™ Castaway Stories folder will probably have the localized name instead. It's also possible to have both the localized folder along with an normal The Sims™ Castaway Stories. In this last case, the Downloads folder must be on the localized folder, as the other will just handles logs and such.

Low quality neighborhood terrain[edit]

Enable high quality neighborhood terrain
  1. Navigate to the configuration file location.
  2. Open Graphics Rules.sgr.
  3. Find the following section: and change true to false.
