The popular Sims go native! Create up to six Sims to crew a boat and set them out on a nice relaxing cruise... until, of course a storm hurls them overboard. Your primary character washes ashore on a deserted island and soon figures out that help is not coming soon. Fortunately, a group of books left by previous castaways provides helpful direction in what it takes to survive – ranging from building shelter to making a fire pit.
As you accomplish tasks and survive, your Sim will gain skills which will help take on tougher challenges. There are over fifteen categories of items that your Sim can create items from including furniture, walls, tools and clothing.
Explore the island in search of food and materials while taking care of your Sim's basic needs. Befriend the native chimps who will help gather resources. Further exploration will lead you to your fellow castaways on other islands. Build connections with your fellow survivors to create a tribe. You'll also discover the means to summon help. The question is, do you return to civilization, or would you rather stay in paradise?
