Me, when some unsuspecting fool asks me about my sims, not knowing that my sims have lore so deep it reaches across all readily available games - yes, that includes console, handheld and mobile - and are all intrecately woven into a fine Web of made up and canon.

Unseen and Scrapped Content in The Sims 2: Castaway Stories

You might be surprised to learn just how much content was cut or left unfinished during the development of The Sims 2: Castaway Stories—and even The Sims 2 in general.

- One of the most intriguing discoveries is the "Costume Trunk," which would have allowed your Sims to dress up in various costumes, from cowboys to mobsters and musketeers. There was even supposed to be an "Acting Costume Trunk" with unique interactions like "Brandish Sword" for the musketeer costume. Imagine the gameplay potential!

- Another scrapped feature was a variety of social clubs. While Fraternities and Sororities made it into the game, there were plans for clubs like a Secret Society, a Robo-Battle Club, a Drama Club, and even a Gaming Club! These would have brought a whole new layer of social dynamics to the game.

- Behind the scenes, test objects like the "Facial Animation Player" and "Memory Manager" were used by developers to debug and refine Sim behaviors, emotions, and relationships.

- One particularly interesting cut feature is the "Tabletop RPG" object, where Sims would roleplay as Mages, Warriors, and Thieves in a Dungeons & Dragons-style game. How cool would that have been?

All these unused objects and ideas show just how much *he Sims 2 evolved during development. They give us a glimpse into what could have been and reveal the rich, creative process behind one of the most iconic simulation games of all time.

Sims 2 CC Mega Post

I say 'mega' but there really isn't a whole lot, I just didn't wanna split it up. Anyway, yeah, I mostly and normally and prefer to make Sims 4 stuff, but I made some Sims 2 stuff for me last year and this and I figured, may as well share it. Most of these require outside meshes so keep that in mind, Sims 2 CC downloading is a bloody nightmare.

Alex Skin

So I made a custom skin with tattoos for Alex as it seemed simple enough to do. Ain't gonna look perfect, but it looks fine from a distance, same resources I used for my Sims 4 versions, so I did vector the rose and skull. I based the skin off these default replacements. You don't NEED these, but they make it so that everyone matches. Yes that site requires an account and login, it's NSFW, it has body hair and works with nudity. Because obviously I play with mods like that. I made the skin look right for Fit/Thin/Fat but I didn't bother with any age but adult nor did I bother with female, because, idc. I THINK this is Alex's hair mesh, but idfk, I have so many that look like this.

It also works in Castaway Stories, as does all of these, because I used them in it too. :> That made Alex the palest guy on the island as all the skin tones in Castaway Stories were shifted to one tone darker per. I manually put my replacement skin in that too, but I didn't have the darkest, so no body hair to them.

Streaked Jack Hair

You need this mesh to make this work. I made this for myself as I didn't really like anything else I had for him, and this is Sims 2, so I went with earlier hair, and I liked how this mesh looked. Loosely based on like this hair. I didn't bother with other ages beyond adult again. I would have if I decided to de-age him and send him to university, but I did that with Otto instead.

Again also works in Castaway Stories, as I used it, again. It's easy to import Sim's faces from 2 into the stories games.

Awsten Tricolor Hair

Awsten Red Hair

You need this mesh to make this work. The bright green in that is also great and I used that for him at first. These are his eyes too, or rather his right eye. No screenshots of the red hair, but it's just a bright plain red in case you prefer it. I made this hair as it looked okay with the colors kind of being randomly spread around the mesh. This is his outfit btw. Again only works with adult as far as I'm aware.

BONER Shirt

R&R Shirt

NoRegRetsShirt

JALEXShirt

BMTHShirt1

BMTHShirt2

BMTHShirt3

BMTHShirt4

You need this mesh to make these work. All of these are Everyday fashion only by account of only the Everyday category having the option for separates and these are all tops. Don't ask me what pants I use, I have so many downloaded, but these work with all of them.

As it turns out I didn't take screenshots of all of these ingame, but maybe these help with that.

PTV Hoodie

DropDead Hoodie

You need this mesh for the PTV hoodie. I don't THINK the DD hoodie needs anything external, I compared it to a vanilla mesh and it seemed to line up. I don't know, I made it last December and I didn't log everything I did. Like the shirts above, Everyday category only as they are tops.

As a bonus, here's some misc Sims 2 screenshots to hit the image limit, including this stuff and with no context to my game. I know most people on modern computers play with The Ultimate Collection, but I installed it via discs, and a few ISOs as I didn't feel like spending $30+ for a few missing stuff packs on eBay. :) Pretty sure those ISOs are why my game is British and I have to always manually set the clock and a few other small things every time I load it. Not a big deal to me, just felt I'd mention for clarity. Castaway Stories is from an ISO too as have you SEEN those prices on eBay?! I have Sims 3 on Disc too, 100%, never made any CC for it tho. I love how Sims 2 was out at the peak of, ahem, mid to late 2000s culture so a lot of CC for it is of it's time in the best possible way. I kept this theme going with adding in custom music that ONLY existed from before 2009 (so 2008 is my cut-off date) and it's fun only hearing music of the era ingame. :) I DID make stuff for Sims 1 too years ago but I don't know how I even really did it so idk how to make more and also I don't care that much. I wanted to try playing with Alex and Jack in Sims 1 too but I kept getting fucked up files that didn't work or look right and I didn't know what I needed to do to make it right and I didn't wanna waste more time than I already did trying to make their faces. I do have semi-not ugly faces and outfits for a couple others tho.

Oh yeah, all this stuff is made in the Body Shop and GIMP for textures.

🏝️Time on Island: Day 40

I spent my days wandering small parts of the island - among the towering palm trees and colossal tropical plants, I knew I could easily get lost. The foliage here was unlike anything I'd ever encountered before — lush and vibrant, as if it was inviting me to uncover its hidden secrets.

Today I swam to the islet, but there was no sign of Ioannis. It left me feeling a strange mix of sadness and relief.

As I explored, I spotted a bunch of bright orange carrots washed up on the shore and quickly grabbed them, savoring the crunchy, earthy taste.

From the corner of my eye, I saw a tiny blue bird landed, watching me curiously without any fear. In a fleeting thought, I wondered if Ioannis had ever encountered a bird this close.

Taking a moment to breathe in the beauty of my surroundings, I felt the weight of solitude settle around me. I couldn’t help but wonder how much longer I could navigate this fragile balance between independence and survival, with thoughts of Ioannis flickering at the edges of my mind.

What would my family think of my fixation over this supposedly mythical creature? Would they see it as an understandable distraction from isolation, or would they recognize that this connection revealed something about myself that I was too scared to process?

Every second spent with Io felt like something more than simple companionship. I couldn't deny I was attracted to him, but I was also terrified of what that meant for me finding my way off this island.

I reflected on the small victories of the past few days—the fish I had caught, the shelter I had built. Each moment spent on this island highlighted how far I had come since I first washed ashore, feeling utterly helpless.

Forty days. It had been forty days since the crash, since I had nearly drowned, and Io had given me a second chance at life. Though it was a life far removed from what I had imagined, I still clung to hope.

Sometimes you are mentally required to break out the N-DS just so you can binge play a bunch of Sims gameboy games because nothing has, and nothing will, ever hit as hard as they did. Bring that shit back guys I need them all remastered for Switch.

I never do anything with the 57 Road to Nowhere home, so I decided to repurpose it into a matching lot extension/impostor.
