Castaway Stories: Nanihi Manave

Nanihi Manave is one of the characters in the scripted part of Castaway Stories. She's a little girl in the story, and is the first native resident that Jessica (or David) meet on Felicity Island. I've long since finished the story mode, but continue to play (and breeeeed) with the entire extended cast. Nanihi is a fun one (her personality is 2,7,7,7,2), and she gets even better with age. She really begs for her own story, this one.
 



Here she is in the game storyline, after hyenas chase her up a tree.
 
 


And here she is as a teen. One day she'll be the chief of the tribe.

Isn't she striking? I love her pale blue eyes and dark skin. (All the skintones in CS are one shade darker.)




A profile shot to show how interesting her features are.
 
Many of the characters in CS have very unique faces. There's some templatism, of course (especially on Wanmami Island), but it's quite diverse overall. I'm thinking of importing some of the sims to my regular game. If only I could play some of them on Twiikii Island... I suppose I could always use the hood template to make a separate version, if I were so inclined.

Beware about importing the 'Hood - It uses a Larger Terrain Map than what is readable in the Normal game [which is why the island is so HUUUUGE!] and if attempted to place as a normal 'Hood.. Well, it tries to compensate, but it kinda borks up; No Roads mean Lots fly about, Terrain is 1/4 of what it should be with all lots and everything else inside a void between nothingness, and the 'Hood Deco gets crammed to one side of the terrain. GFBVFS all right!!

I wish Larger Terrains were possible in the normal game.. Allong with the Water effects.. Oh, and... LOL!

I really enjoyed Castaways in its own way, but playing Basegame style afterwards (with a few differences) just wasn't fun enough to keep my interest long...I would LOVE to be able to connect the two games, make Felicity/Wanmami a subhood of my regular one...now that would be awesome.

I liked Nanihi, she was spunky, and she looks really pretty as a teen!

Not familiar with Castaways except with what you and simgaroop have posted. So I'd look forward to seeing even more. I should do a Google search to find out more about Castaways...

I'd thought about getting Castaways, but only after it was no longer available at the local WalMart, and I'm not sure how to get a copy now.
