There is only one story to play, but you can choose if you want to play it as a male or a female. I played the female. After you finish the story mode, the freeplay neighborhood will be unlocked. To try the storymode with another character, you'd have to remove the folder from Documents & Settings..
The story mode was a bit too easy and way too short. Someone less familiar with the Sims might find some more challenge there, but for an old addict such as myself, the game was just a way to spend a few hours.
The thing that annoys me most with these Stories - games, is the definite storyline. I had no influence on what was going on and that - to be honest - sucks. For now, Castaway Stories will be the last for the Stories - games, but I would hope they'd make a bit complex story system if another Stories will be available.
The items were - again - mostly ripped from the Sims 2 too. The good thing - however - is the fact that mAxis went through the trouble of bringing Sims Castaway for PS3 to us PC owners too.
Some of the new objects were excellent and the whole concept was much more entertaining than Life Stories. Reward system was good, but I would've excepted something more "useful" such as an unlockable resource tree. Mostly the rewards and gifts were useless.
They should have added a couple more stories to play to keep the "I-got-ripped-of-my-cash-again" - bogeyman out of our minds..
I spent a happy six hours playing the Sims Castaway Stories. As with Life Stories, do not buy it if you already own the Sims 2 and you own a computer that can handle the very "heavy" game. Sims Life Stories is NOT worth the price, so you better save the money from SCS and buy the new upcoming expansion, Free Time (if you - of course - own Sims 2). However, If you own a laptop and you're not as addicted as myself, go and buy SCS. It will be some entertaining. Please take a note that the minimun requirements are a joke, it needs at least 1gig memory and a 2,8 mobility CPU. I played this with a high-end PC and sometimes I lost my nerves because I'd need a RAID system for my hard drives to make the game read stuff more faster...
NOTE: I found out that The Sims 2 compatible objects (non-expansion - that is) can be imported to the game the same way as with the Sims 2 objects are imported except for the utilities such as fridges and stuff. And there's no TV, I suppose. These objects need to be unique meshes with their own unique ID's and their recolors. The cheats are not accessible in the storymode, but some Sims 2 compatible hacked objects and hacks do work, such as Merola's Sims' Hacked painting.
When people were made, there were some pieces left - enough to make one more person. That's me. I'm leftovers.

Another Cutie Set - The Nobodies
Hey I'm blogging for the third time today..
Okay, a new set of nobody hotties:
Ryan McPartlin
Born 197something, this captain Awesome or whatever happens to look like a guy I used to date for a month or so. Except the guy I dated wasn't that awesome. See him in the TV series "Chuck".
Andy Whitfield

This creepy guy starred in Gabriel (2007). Cute, quirky and strange bone structure but check him out. I suppose you can't see this guy anywhere, but I surely hope he's up to something real, since he doesn't suck at all. I didn't like the movie, but hey.. you can have so much shit just because of a guy, so why not a low budget movie..
Matthew Bomer
Born 1977, this cutie pie had a nice little part (no pun intended) in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. And a few other thingies..
Agim Kaba
Born 1980, this handsome nobody looks good in his publicity picture. Obviously gay - a gorgeous one. A Guess spokesperson (o'rly?).
Charlie Cox
This funny looking 1982-born (yay, only a year my junior) has played parts in Casanova and a year before, in the Merchant of Venice. Now this cutie-pie can be seen in Stardust beautified with some well grown hair (extensions?). How about a screenshot (which -oddly- reminds me of a certain moment in the newest Pride & Prejudice flick..) I wish he had long hair IRL too, btw.
Can you see a pattern? The men of my taste?

I'm just a stupid cow.
Hi to Jamie, Helene, Collin, Sebastien and Claire. I knew I made a mistake. I know. I'm sorry.
I suck.

(Un)Holy Shit!
I had to sleep two night before I realized how unfair life is.
Why couldn't I have been born beautiful, smart and somewhere in Los Angeles?
Why do all the beautiful men live somewhere else than here?
Why can't I just grow up and get this life once and for all and STOP having these dreams everything is perfect and then wake up to this ****** unfairness of a shit of a life.
It is so unfair. UNFAIR! DO YOU HEAR ME FATE?! U-N-F-A-I-R!
If there was a god, I'd stop talking to her and make a deal with the devil.
So, devil, since YOU'RE obviously there (cause life sucks), I'd like to make a deal.
Let me live until my 112th birthday without falling sick once, out of any harm, be happy and not remembering this deal. I'd also like to win three times in the lottery (when ever I choose to), having the jackpot all for myself. I wish I wouldn't have to work a day in my life and I'd never go bankrupt, nor lose anyone in my life to death until they've turned 72. And let me have the man I want if he is a) single or b) divorced. Oh, and I'd like him to like me the way I am the moment I meet him the first time. And I'd also like to buy J a beautiful, nice, fair girlfriend who he deserves (I guess).
In exchange I'll give my undying soul to be tortured in hell for all eternity plus I'd be willing to throw in the soul of the three children I'm to give birth to be tortured in hell for the first 30 years after they die in the age of 92 years.
kthanksbye.
