Not only hyenas are reskinned dogs from the sims 2 you can actually get hyenas in the Sims 2 pets in create a sim by porting the hyena skins from the Sims Castaway Stories folder into the same folder in the Sims 2 and now you have hyenas in the sims 2 however they do not attack sims like in castaway stories as they are just pet dogs reskinned while castaway stories has new interactions. You must have the Sims 2 pets installed for this to work.
its funny they have māori names we dont even have monkeys or apes in NZ lol. Waiata means song usually songs sung specifically in māori its a sweet name
the full face tattoo in Sims 2 PC is actually called tāmoko in the code. I found that really neat and surprising, albeit it'd be seen as culturally insensitive now.
@Human-hs8sp @Human-hs8sp I think that's sick there must've been another māori on the team or something aye. idk if it's insensitive... I think it's cool that an old ass game like that has any pasifika rep that isn't hula skirts and pork bbqs lol. atleast they got the name instead of "tribal tattoo" or something. I think intention matters greatly like that's one of the key things within mana and stuff like it's only disrespectful because of the actions intention not the actual outcome. and the intention wasn't to mock or hurt us it was just someone, potentially even a māori's idea of moko. I dunno it mightve even been their personal history or of some significance to the designer. I can't read moko sadly so I don't know but I can ask someone if they think it has any real significance or if it's just squiggles
@smellysugar8825 yeah, i know 💖force of habit 🌻ppl mostly act and say speciesist shit any chance possible and nobody ever says anything, so i do it 🤷automatically now, i guess.. it appears that castaway stories merged every culture from all over the world i guess so nobody really felt left out🤗✨
I miss the pet dragons. They were so cool too and had fun powers. Sadly in sims 4 even if they come out they are gonna be an object and you can't put them in your shoulder or your left and right hand... Nothing *sigh* man.....
There's tools to fix those visuals glitch, it's called Graphic rules maker, and it helps include your actual graphic card to run the game properly (it works with sims 2, all sims stories and the last sims city). For me it's a must have cause sims 2 and castaway stories are my favourite from the franchise
Damn, that was my absolute favourite when I was a child. I wish they would release a new version of that game... it was so entertaining 😂 I didn't know I could play with orangutans tho. That is pretty cool!
As per usual for me now, I HAVE to thank you for the epilepsy warning. It's hard to find youtubers considerate/knowledgeable enough to add them, and most people think they're annoying. Thanks! You may have saved a life without knowing
So, I remember when I got my first copy of sims 1 when I was a kid, and on the back with the gameplay footage, there was a chimpanzee with a serving tray in hand by a jacuzzi filled with sims interacting with each other. I had the impression that my sims could have chimps as pets. But I was never able to get a pet chimp, or even have something along the lines of a chimp servant even. I wonder. Was it false advertising, or was it content that I was struggling to figure out how to have such an encounter? I was just a little kid after all.
I wish that the sims 4 would let us play as our pets like the sims 3 did 😢 I really want to be able to play as my cat since they are goofy and get stuck places.
I don't necessarily want to directly control the pets, but my problem is that without that ability, I can't tell when their objects break. I don't even mind paying for the replacements, but I need to have some way of knowing that they're broken and need to be replaced.
Omg I had the actual disc with this game and it was sooo buggy if you decide to play more than the story mode, which is sad cause I was pretty determined to make a whole generation of sims on the island. I finally uninstalled once the game stopped saving my household for some reason and the child in that house kept deaging back to toddler. Other than that the lifetime rewards are pretty neat in the game. I had everyone talk over seashells like cellphones
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣my goodness you poor souls 🙈i mean..they could call it an easter egg maybe or lore or whatever because i remember claire the bear in the sims 1 or maybe she was just a hallucination due to playing ts1 with all its horrors😸
In the Sims Castaways Stories for PC, you can sometimes get a want to adopt a Jaguar, but it wasn't implemented correctly, so you can only accomplish this want by hacking/modding the game!
omg I thought it was going to be Bigfoot from the thumbnail and was offended on their behalf haha great video, I didn't know hardly any of those facts about the castaway orangutans!
@onlyabidoang I must make a correction, although it may Look like the Orangutan will always win, this is false. sims CAN Infact beat a Orangutan (Refer to Memories to see whether the Memory is Positive or Negative), this is because it uses the same rules as a Sim to Sim Fight (Check Body Skill and Mood) but there isn't a Suitable Animation for a Orangutan failing a fight
If you own a physical copy you could have talked to ea and they would give you the game with all expansions for free to own. (Maybe it’s still available if you get a nice employee) Also you can always get it by other means iykwim
There was a time where you could input your game codes from the physical copy you bought, and you could get the new digital download version for no additional charge.
That was offically only allowed for a few months in 2014 but EA actually only stopped offering that back in 2018, I got a digital copy back in 2016 when they'd still offer it .
Huh -- I had no idea that Castaway Stories included orangutans! Or hyenas or a jaguar, for that matter. It's a shame that orangutans don't have more interactions -- and can't even interact with each other! I know Castaway Stories was probably part of that line of games optimized for running on laptops, but come on, Sims team.
how is it a pet and how did you forget abt it 😸 didn't know they were all females and that they couldn't interact with each other..i thought they could🤔i think i saw them grooming one another when i played..great vid, thank you 💖
Hyenas are not dogs, they should have done Wolves or seeing how they did not seam to care about where animals come from, Jakckels, Painted dogs or Dingos.
Man I love Castaway Stories. I need to finish it again, the story is goofy and it's fun seeing what mods work with it without breaking it. I actually didn't know I could play with the orangutan you adopt in the storyline.
Hyenas from Africa, jaguars from South America, orangutans from Southeast Asia.... The geography of that island makes so much sense...
Each castaway game doesn’t make any sense
Can't forget the skunks, which are from North America, southern Canada, and northern Mexico
Maybe some Ship that was transporting Animals sunk nearby or they were brought there for hunting
don't forget penguins, all the llama references and aliens from the main games.
@Human-hs8sp At least the other games took place in urban environments, so it's easier to explain exotic animals had been brought by humans.
I love how the dev team put so much effort into the Jaguar and the female Orangutans, only to simply paint a dog and call it a "Hyena" XD
Lol
The fact they put so much effort into the jaguar only to make one, and have it appear for one part of the game.
lol they didn't even bother to give them the right Tail🙃
much like sims 4's cat Raccoons and Dog foxes...but less lazy
@@ember9361 lol when I've still played The Sims 4 I've created a Crossbreed between a Raccoon and a Sphynx Cat😆

Was so disappointed the robot and alien dogs and cats from Sims 2 Pets PSP didn't exist in the main version.
Love how all 4 animals mentioned are each from an entirely different continent

*(humans are apes btw)

They’re gonna come out in a stuff pack that costs 25$ and only adds a couple chairs and the dragon object lmao
@@mrziiz6893 a yes and a no. Definitely an expansion pack that you waste MANY DOLLARS just for that dragon
@@mrziiz6893 chairs... LGR would approve that XD
And people thought the sims 3 exchange was bad, little did we know what was to come...
They're objects in Sims 1 and 3 too tho.
I used to have Castaway Stories but I only just realized the joke on "Simian City".

Um, it's required to adopt one to progress in the story (and then you have to give her a job).
forgetten pet. right because I abseloutly do not have a pirate version of this game on my computer.
@@josefineandersen2165 😂
Oh no. I have to get sims 2 castaway stories now
My nieces and I love Castaway. One plays the storyline over and over.

There’s a mod that works really well! Playable Pets Mod. I’ll never play without it.
as an epileptic, THANK YOU for the photosensitivity warning!!! i wish more youtube creators took the time to do that 🫠
I hope they add snakes , dragon and parrots too.
I miss old sims games specially pet shop from sims 1.

Kinda weird how the orangutangs are named after words from New Zealand and not Indonesia or Malaysia lol
Damn I really thought you were gonna talk about dragons in Sims 1!
ah yes, my favourite lifestate
*M* *O* *N* *K* *E*
In Portuguese, mata can mean kill, or woods, so seeing the jaguar called mata in portuguese can be a little funny.
So sad that they haven't returned in later games. I think the Sims should actually have been an orangutan game to begin with.
5:44 she evolved
😂-
I really, REALLY need there to be a mod ading the content from the Stories games into the Sims 2. This looks fantastic!
Hey Abi, The Sims 4 just got an update today, The Home Menu just got a new look! Can you make a video about that please?
I used your creator code to buy some new kits! Your videos are so fun and informative. I'm glad to support you!
The sims 4 could never. They gave us bears in the form of people in furry costumes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣my goodness you poor souls 🙈i mean..they could call it an easter egg maybe or lore or whatever because i remember claire the bear in the sims 1 or maybe she was just a hallucination due to playing ts1 with all its horrors😸
@@yellowcatmonkey That's kids dressing as bears in parenthood.
That has to be a Claire the Bear reference.

god i wish sims castaway stories was on origin
I had no idea as I never played this game. I love this and would love to see more animals added to TS4.
I WAS WAITING IN THE CAVE , THANK YOU ABI , I CAN BREATH AGAIN !! 😢
I remember having them on Castaways. I also remember Big Foot and the penguin.
Orangutans are such delightful creatures
The Sims 3 horse from the intro looked like it was made of cookie and cream icecream. i am suddenly very hungry
When I first played this as a kid I got a bit scared of the idol; because in my language the idols name is the same as my last name
i thought it gonna be the monkey maid Sims 1
really love the Sims Stories series, but this game is so good. :)
I loved those Castaway Stories ❤
Well, I'm sold. I want orangutans in Sims 4. The little waaave!
wait what how do you still playing sims 2?
If you own a physical copy you could have talked to ea and they would give you the game with all expansions for free to own. (Maybe it’s still available if you get a nice employee) Also you can always get it by other means iykwim

How do you get sims 2 castaway for pc?
Ebay
Thank you boo!!🌹🌹❤❤
I legit forgot about this.
Where can I get this? And are there any mods for yidaki/didgeridoo playing?
U can also make a video about Sims Medieval ❤

I was playing it while watching this
I literally went, I CALLED IT, when I saw what the answer was
I loved this game, unfortunately it's really buggy :(
Good sims video for 2025 good job onlyabidoang
u can make your own sim in story if you want :D
🙂
I… i sometimes sit like the orangutangs 👁️👄👁️
The sims 2 adalah seri the sims yang paling upgrade fiturnya. Coba the sims 4 bisa mengadopsi beberapa fitur the sims 2 pasti lebih bagus.
why did you reupload this again?
I didn’t?
@@onlyabidoang ooh it showed me I had seen it before (but I hadn´t yesterday) sorry might be my mistake
Omg this is so cute
how is it a pet and how did you forget abt it 😸 didn't know they were all females and that they couldn't interact with each other..i thought they could🤔i think i saw them grooming one another when i played..great vid, thank you 💖
does sims 4 have snakes?
Not really, only decorative noninteractable ones that can sometimes be seen in the jungles of Selvadorada
🤔
So cool🥰🫶🏻
Hate saying this but first. Clicked 19 seconds after video was posted
Nice
Hyenas are not dogs, they should have done Wolves or seeing how they did not seam to care about where animals come from, Jakckels, Painted dogs or Dingos.
First🫶
I miss this kind of charm in games
monkee :D
first!
Thirst
Man I love Castaway Stories. I need to finish it again, the story is goofy and it's fun seeing what mods work with it without breaking it. I actually didn't know I could play with the orangutan you adopt in the storyline.
i never miss a onlyabidoang drop 🫡💖✨
