Default Is it still possible to buy downloadable Castaway Stories?
I have tried and failed to find a place to buy a download version of Sims 2 Castway. Is it still possible? If not, where can I get it for a decent price? I am willing to pay $10 or less for this very old game, but have only found it used for $20 and up (ridiculous!).

It will be hard to find for under 10 but you can try both amazon and ebay.

If you're playing UC, the folders will get mixed between the different games and mess up. I had to remove Pets Stories, which I had been playing for over a year, because UC was using parts of each games folders.

EDIT: Amazon has used discs starting at $9.99 and up.

Will it still mess upp if you install the Stories game after UC?
I know about that one seller on Amazon, but that seller has never sold anything before so I am a bit wary.

Amazon will support you if the seller is bad.

Time to go test UC and CS and see what is up.

I don't see how UC and CS can change files for they are in dif. folders, UC is in EA Games and CS is in Electronic Arts folders.

Windows 8.1 running both UC and CS with out any problems at all.

I thought UC was in origin games, not EA Games folder. Was I wrong?

UC is in Origin in the programs but in My Doc it is in EA Games.

This game is a lot of fun!

I was having a ton of fun with it back when it came out, but it had a bunch of game-breaking bugs midgame and EA support was so horrendous I didn't touch the others in the series. I wonder if it ever got patched?

I have never had any problems with all 3 stories games that a mod did not cause.
No mods, no problem. I have played all 3 well over 100 times with and with out mods and it works just fine for me.

Game breaking problems = Mods that broke it.

It is best not to use mods until the story is done.

Most if not all skintones will work most if not all Maxis default replacement items work as long as the item is in the game.

People shouldn't always be so quick to assume that when someone is having trouble with a game, it's due to a mod.

I myself bought Castaway on the release day, played it right away and eventually ran into some issues. I played that and Lifestories in their true form...vanilla.

Sometimes, things happen to some and don't happen to others, or issues simply are overlooked/never noticed. Just a thought.

Clean neighbourhoods for Castaway.

The original ones are all corrupted from the beginning; it just depends when the corruption will start to show. An example, when creating a weather subhood for Castaway they took it straight out of Seasons and the Ottomai etc. are all in there in broken, shredded file form.

If you need more lots to put sims on you can use SimPE to change the commercial lots to residential lots but I would not change the 2 villages over or the Luau lot.
