Default It does play after Windows 10 April 2018 update but....
I've just installed this from disk again after the huge Spring Creators update but can anybody remind me how to play it in a wider screen as it doesn't give other than the original 800x600 mode options. It does play, a little blocky but a bit "squashed" looking.
Starts from where installed by W10 and I have pinned the icon to the Taskbar and play with the disk in disk drive.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims Castaway Stories\TSBin\SimsCS.exe"
(It's the yellow book icon)

Just like in Sims 2 you have to add your video card to the list to get lager screen size, no I have no idea how you need to do it so go to the Sims 2 help section and ask there.

If you have Sims 2 and have all the sizes then you just need to copy and paste from 1 game to another but again I do not remember which ones.
