    The worst let's play series continues today - let me know what other cursed sims spinoffs you'd like to see - Bustin' Out and Sims 2 DS are high on my priority list, but there's even worse games to cover.
    For the record, I like them all

      @@jwb_666 I wish we had more Sims style survival games though. They don't all have to be like hardcore realistic survival games. I loved the Sims spinoff games because they were literally Sims but with more focus on a theme or objective. Like Urbz (non-handheld) was all about growing your reputation around town. Castaway is either getting off the island back to civilization or staying on the island and living there forever.

    12:39 Imagine if Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, and Indianna Jones decide not to enter the temple, despite spending countless hours trying to reach the destination, because they need to sleep first. Never mind that their enemies simultaneously are trying to enter and claim the place before anyone do. Castaway is so existentially realistic that needs are always first a foremost before achieving personal goals.

    If you go to the new Island, I think it's called Crystal Island? and send an S.O.S, you will be abducted by aliens and when you get dumped back you'll have cans of an Alien meat in your inventory, it's a unique food stuff that you can farm there. Also, the Llama Crown you got is used to unlock a hidden door in the Obsidian Cave, it leads to a neat little place :)

    I love Castaway! I played it as a kid and didn't get far, but a few years ago I picked it up again as an adult. Being able to build actual houses and have a little sustainable community is super rewarding in the late game. The houses set on fire really easily, sadly, so once you have houses you're pretty much putting out fires every other night. I love the neckbeard twist in this video! The sims truly have rejected society and returned to monke!
