Castaway Stories: The Birth of Temple Curry

I'm still playing with Castway Stories, and I've been having a blast playing with Orson Curry, the famed anthropologist on Wanmami Island, and Linnea Wilson, his intrepid pilot friend. Since Orson's a knowledge sim, I used him to test out the alien abductions in CS.

Here's some shots of the cut scene for his delivery.














I named her Temple. (If you can figure out why, I'll give you a cookie.) Can you believe this is one of the only times I've ever watched this cut scene? I'll have to do it again. It's super cute. I'm a little bummed out that I forgot to drop Phobia's alien eye defaults into the dowloads folder before the birth, but what can you do? I added them after and they worked just fine, but it was a bit late for the cut scene.

I'm thinking of working some of this into the next S,HWC update, what with the alien pollinating going on. I also have a way to tie it back to Veronaville, which is where I'm heading for the next chapter.

A lurker coming out just to say "Aww!"

Really, though. This is very cute and I had no idea you could even get abducted in Castaway Stories.

I've actually been thinking of checking out Castaway Stories. Now it looks like I've got yet another incentive :3

I love Castaway Stories!!!

I'm going to have to buy another copy... I think I accidentally left my disc in the computer I had to return to the store because it was the wrong model. :\

It's really fun playing the scripted game out with an imported Sim! Remember what I did to poor Vid, lol?

I adore the alien birth cut-scene, it's so cute and funny at the same time! I never thought about buying Lifestories, but I've been reading a lot about it and it seems really fun, so I may have to give a try.

Alien babies! :) Naw..

I've always loved Castaway stories. It keeps crashing when I try to play it now. :(

Temple.. Hmm.. Wasn't Orson an elder? For some reason, I remember him with grey hair.. Most likely I'm very wrong. :S

So cute! I've been looking for a long time for Castaway Stories for PC, but to no avail. Kid was so cute and bought me Castaway for the Wii thinking it's the one I wanted.

That cut scene is the best one. When the hatch opens in the plumbob. . .yeah, still funny.

The only other one I like is when a sim goes to college. The look on the parent's face is too much (especially if you get a streaker--I don't think that happens every time).

I've been wondering if I should get Castaway Stories... Apparently I should :) It's a little sad that there won't be new EPs for TS2 so Castaway Stories could be really fun. Thanks for sharing these pictures!

He looks seriously cool with that beard and grungy hat!

Is Temple named after the character from Faulker's 'Sanctuary'?
