"Simplicity" failed to return to port as scheduled and is now considered missing along with the crew. Searchers are uncertain how many sailors were aboard, but are hopeful that the crew might have managed to get to shore on one of the many small, uncharted islands in the area. "These islands, though deserted, are loaded with resources," claimed Admiral C. Psik, head of the search and rescue team. "Anyone with a bit of imagination would be able to survive and even thrive if they built shelter and crafted some items and tools." There are abundant rumors that some of the islands are home to buried treasures, and many also believe that they hide ancient mysteries deep within their lush jungles. If the missing sailors managed to get ashore, rescuers maintain that they could have a strong chance of surviving. CONTROLS: Triangle Button- Cancel Action Circle Button- Access Quick Inventory X Button- Action Square Button- Toggle Motives/Relationship Panel L1 Button- Pause (hold) L2 Button- Switch between available Sims R1 Button- Fast Forward (hold) R2 Button- NOTHING Directional Buttons- L/R Cycle Objects..U/D select Left Analog Stick- Move Sim Right Analog Stick- Rotate camera START Button- Access pause menu SELECT Button- Toggle walls/roofs BASICS: Saving-Go to the pause menu, and go to the icon that looks like a person leaving through a door. This is the Save/Quit button. You will have a choice to either save, quit, or save and quit. Building-there are two ways to build things. One, if you need a craft bench to build the item, go to a craft bench and select "Craft". The second way is by going to the pause button, and clicking the icon that looks like a stack of papers or blueprints. Then navigate through the different sub-categories, until you find the thing that you want to build. The second way, you don't use a craft bench to build the item. Goals-by completing goals, you will be able to gain new plans, and you'll advance through the game. To view the available plans that you have, and ones that you have completed, go to the pause menu, and click on the book icon. Exploring-there are a total of four islands in the game. One of them is a secret island. But, each island is divided into various parts. Each part and each island has different resources to find. Each part/section is also a different size than the other ones. Because of this, you'll be able to build more things, if it's bigger. In each section, you will see a floating, rotating, blue foot. Walking up to this will make you automatically walk through it, in most cases. Sometimes, you have to select the right option to travel through it. Motives-There are eight motives for each and every one of your Sims. You must keep these high, so the Sim can be happy. In some cases, when a motive goes all the way down, a consequence such as passing out will happen. The hunger motive gets filled by eating. The bladder motive gets filled be using toilet paper. The energy motive gets filled by using your mat or laying on a bed and sleeping. The social motive getis filled by talking to animals and other Sims. The hygiene motive is filled by washing off, even by just taking a swim in the ocean. The fun motive gets filled by making music, dancing, looking at art, and other things like that. The comfort motive gets filled by sleeping or sitting by the fire. The environment motive gets filled by picking up any trash laying around your home, and by having better quality items. Skills-there are six different skills that your Sim can learn and improve on. The higher the skills the more things your Sim will be able to do. In most cases, doing something that requires a certain skill will also improve that skill. Homes-in every area of every island, you can declare it as your tribe's home. First, you must build some type of fire (I usually use the emergency one) and put it where you want the Home Tiki Torch. After it is built, walk next to it, and select the option "Declare Home". That entire section of the island is now your tribe's home. They will bring resources here, and they'll come here to rest. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#MWT# Main Walkthrough▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ The following sections are the main walkthrough. They cover the main aspects of the game. Cheats, hints, tips, and FAQs will be included. Any spoilers and cheats will be noted, for those that don't want to be 'spoiled' or that don't want to cheat. Any other thing included, you will most likely notice, unless you skip sections. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#TBE# The Beginning▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ When you first click "Start New Game", and it is finished loading, you will come to an image of a cruise ship. There is a bar at the bottom with four different buttons. Only one is selectable at first. The plus sign adds a sim, the pencil lets you edit a sim, the minus sign lets you remove a sim, and the Done button is what you click when you are done making the sims. First, you should now that you need at least one sim to continue. But, you can have at most six sims. The more that you make, the easier the game will be. Now, click on the add a sim button. You'll now be at a screen with the choice to choose the gender of your first sim, a button to randomize the sim, and a "customize" button. First choose the gender, or choose randomize. After that click the customize button. After clicking customize, you'll be at the occupation screen. This is where you choose what your sim's job is, before it gets stranded. Each job lets your Sim start with an extra skill point for a certain skill. Now that you have the occupation, you'll come to the main customization screen. Here, you'll be able to edit four different aspects of the sim. Body, clothing/fashion, personality, and name. The body section lets you edit the main skin tone and the main body shape. You can go even further after that and more thoroughly edit the body and head. Then you get to select the hair style of the sim. Click done. The fashion section lets you choose what the sim wears. You can add hats and glasses. For the females, you can get makeup. Males can have facial hair and facial tattoos. In the tops section, you can change the shirt. In the bottoms and shoes section, you get to change what pants and shoes the sim wears. The accessories section lets you add arm bands and watches, belts, and various jewelry sets. The personality section lets you choose how the sim acts when you aren't in control of it. You can choose default personalities, based on star signs, and you can customize the sim's personality in more depth by doing it manually. You have 25 points to spend. For each green bar that you add, you lose a point. Each personality trait can hold up to 10 green bars. Choose the personalities wisely, and if you have more than one sim, try to balance each trait between each sim. For example, have one sim with a higher neatness, but a lower activeness, and have a different sim with a higher activeness, and a lower neatness. Now, you only need to name the sim. You can give it a first and a last name. But, you can only have one last name, from what I've experienced at least. After you name it, click the finished button, and you'll be back at the boat. If you want to have more sims, click the plus icon. If you need to edit your previous sim, click the pencil icon. If you want to delete the previous sim, click the minus icon. If you're done with all of this editing, click the done button. When you click done, you will then be asked to choose who your starting crew member is (if you have more than one crew member). The jewel above the sim's head is who you currently have selected. Click the X button on who you want to choose. You will then be asked to save your game. It's a good idea to save, because it can take a long time to customize the sims. Especially if you made six. After it is done saving, you will then get about five different chances to take pictures. The last picture is when the crew members get thrown off of the boat. A loading screen will appear, and then you'll be on the first island. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#INU# Island Number One▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ After a short clip of your sim getting up after landing on the island, you will get a message saying that the sims have been shipwrecked. You will then get another message telling you that you found Moneywell's Big Book of Survival. In that same message, you will be asked if you want to do the tutorial. You can say yes, but I will be covering what happens in the tutorial here, so you can just read on and skip having to do all of the tutorial. You can also do the tutorial, and follow along as you go, or just skip the entire next paragraph and do the tutorial by yourself. If you choose not to do the tutorail, you will have the food and energy motives. Other than that, there isn't anything else that is different, except for the things that would have been added in the tutorial. The following things are learned in the tutorial. Walking with the left analog stick, and moving the camera with the right analog stick. Harvesting resources by walking up to them, and selecting the appropriate action. The tutorial tells you to harvest bamboo. Pressing the start button and going to the inventory to see what items you have. You then gain the hunger motive. It says to eat, so you don't starve. Then you must go and eat a coconut. You then gain the energy motive. It says to sleep to gain energy. Then you must take out your sleeping mat and sleep on it. To get to your sleeping mat, press the circle button to access the tool menu. You learn that you can cancel an action by pressing the triangle button. After that, it says that fire gives warmth. You must then build a fire. Press the start button, go to the plans menu, select the fire, then choose Emergency Fire Pit. After that, you walk up to the fire pit, and select "Build Pet". Then you can light the fire. You get a message saying that the basic survival is complete. This is the main part of the tutorial. There will be future pop-ups, like when you gain a motive, but you aren't actually in the tutorial. Those are just updates on things that just happened. Now that the main tutorial is done, you can do whatever you want. First Beach: This is the first part of the island that you ever come on. There isn't anything special in here. The main tutorial is in this area, and the first craft bench is also here. There are a few basic resources located here. A small map in which you can build smaller shelters. This isn't the best location on the island, but it is the only spot that it doesn't rain, so that is a good thing. Deep Jungle: The center of the first island. There are a lot of basic resources here, and the three monkeys on the island can be found here a lot. There isn't anything special in here really. When you enter here for the first time, you learn that your clothing gets worn out from exploring, which can cause your sim to be sad. You gain a few new plans also. A note about the monkeys. If you have a banana in your hand, you can "entice a monkey". By doing this, you will be able to chat with it, entertain it, and socialize with it basically. You will also gain the social motive to your motives. If you become a good enough friend with the monkey, you'll be able to do more things with it, such as ask it to collect items for you. Shipwreck Lagoon: The first time you come here, you will get another new goal book. This one is called "Shipwrecked by Lord R.Stickywyck". There are some better items and resources here. And there is another craft bench. In my opinion, this is the best section on the first island. If you ever build a home on this island, I would pick this section. Other than that, there isn't much else in this area. Pier Beach: There are a few resources here, but they aren't as abundant as in the other areas. There is an orange statue sitting next to two pillars. If you inspect this statue, you will gain the room motive. Then you can pick up the statue and put it in your home to help increase the room motive. Now, inspect the two pillars. When you first do, you will get new goals in one of your goal books. You will also get a new plan to build the raft. This is where you come to build a raft and sail to the second island. Don't worry though, you can always come back to this island if you ever want. What I do before I build the raft is build a miniature shelter in the Shipwreck Lagoon area. This is for a backup for if I ever need to come back to this island and need to sleep. When you make your first roof, you will get new plans for shack shelters. You will also get the comfort motive and new plans for improvised cots. ~~**NOTE**~~ If you decide to finish as many goals as you can on the first item, you will unlock more things. If you finish the entire first page of the first goal book, you will unlock the plans for the bamboo fishing pole. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#IND# Island Number Two▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ When you first reach the second island, you get a new goal book. This one is called "The Log of the Final Voyage of Beard Beard the Pirate". West Beach: You will find your first crew mate here. The first time you talk to the crewmate, you gain a new motive. This one is the hygiene motive. You only need to swim to clean, but it won't do much. You also gain a new plan for the Death Daisy Poison. You use this to revive a dead Sim, in case they die of starvation. There are a few new resources here, and in one side there is a bolder blocking a cave entrance. You will eventually come back here. For now, just harvest the new resources, keep your motives high, and befriend your new crewmate so you can get him/her to join the tribe. Airplane Jungle: When you first enter here, it will say that you completed the goal "Find The Jungle". There isn't a big variety of resources here, but the stuff that is here comes in big numbers. In this section of the island, you will see a crashed plane, along with a radio transmitter. You can play music and put it in your inventory. You'll need it later, so make sure to put it in your inventory. Dark Cave: When you first enter this section, you will unlock some new plans for obsidian tools. Here you can find another statue thing like you found on Pier Beach on the first Island. There are some stones to collect, and another hieroglyphic. There is a little pool of water that you can swim in to get your hygiene motive up. Other than that, there isn't anything else in hear, except for the secret door that you can't go through yet. Skull Rock Jungle: There is another hiegroglyph in this area, along with a lot of new resources. There are a lot of each resource also. There is a mysterious skull here too, but you'll be coming back later. West River Plains: When you first come here, you will unlock new plans for better tools and shelter for farming. You will also find Moneywell's Big Book of Survival 2, another goal book. This is one of the best spots to build a home on this island. There is a lot of open space, and a lot of good food and resources nearby. To move on, you'll either need to build a bridge, or climb down the cliff and up the other side. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#VSI# Version Information▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Version 1.0~March 15, 2009~First version.
