[edit] Wrong company infos !

Maxis is dead since they are in EA, since 2007 the Maxis logo was removed from The Sims franchise ! It's no longer Maxis but it's EA Games only.

[edit] Wrong game info!

Tropic Terror doesn't refer at all to The Sims: Castaway Stories. It may refer to another Sims-based island game coming out by EA, but it's definitely not The Sims: Castaway Stories. You don't cite a source on that. Try googling "Tropic Terror" and "Sims Castaway Stories" together... turns up nothing.

[edit] English boxshot

We need an english boxshot for this as soon as one becomes available.--Crossmr 22:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

go to the official sims stories uk site - cant post link just google sims stories uk

Done. --Funnykidrian (talk) 22:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Scuse me?

This game has already been released in the US! Winter 2008...? --TV-VCR watch 05:46, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, no it hasn't: [1] and [2]. The game clearly hasn't been released yet.--Crossmr 15:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

You must've gotten this game confused with The Sims Life Stories. Pet Stories will be released in a few weeks, and Castaway Stories is expected for release in early January-February of 2008. Sillygostly 21:13, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Surely that makes it 1st quarter 2008, not Winter 2008. Winter 2008 would imply November/December.

Thats your interpretation. Others might see Jan 08 as winter 08.--Crossmr 23:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

The official website, linked in the article, gives the release date of Winter this year for Castaway Stories, that is to say, Winter 2007, not Winter 2008. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.49.194.145 (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

No I just checked the site it clearly says winter 08 not 07. We don't know if it comes out in Jan.-Feb. or in Nov.-Dec. so we can't put that it comes out in Jan-Feb. Smileyface 12 91 21:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The truth is the game is already on sale. (so, winter 2007)--Anonymous 00:38, 30 Nov 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.26.72.134 (talk)

You're thinking of the Sims 2: Castaway. Not Castaway: Life Stories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Umlautbob (talk • contribs) 04:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wii?

I read on the list of wii games page that this will be relased on wii? Any info avaliable? I have the same question and I think it is going to be released for the Wii because on Wal-mart.com it says the sims 2 castaway for Wii. YAY!

Yes, it has been confirmed on Wii, PS2, and PSPS

[edit] Stop the confusion!

Okay, there seems to be A LOT of confusion around this game, so let me clear a few things up:

• This is a Standalone game for the PC
• this is the third in the Sims Stories series of games, following Life Stories and Pet Stories
• EA recently published a game called The Sims 2: Castaway on several console platforms This is a different game, entirely.
• The release date for this game is Winter 2008, which does refer to the beginning of the year, not the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.43.34 (talk) 02:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

your evidence that winter 2008 refers to the beginning of the year? Sounds like your opinion. I might consider december 2008 to be part of winter 2008.--Crossmr (talk) 03:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

To clear it even more, the game has been released today. --Allvanishing (talk) 01:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] altars

Try the official forums for the game. This talk page is for discussion related to changes that need to be made to the article. Not a general discussion forum for the subject.--Crossmr (talk) 04:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
