Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the game or my
guide.  I try to answer all serious requests for help but I will not open any
email with an attachment.  AOL sometimes considers a 'signature' or a simple
icon as an attachment.  Please send your emails as plain text or I shall not

Note on 31 December:  The walkthrough now is complete.


Introduction


Sims2 Castaway has been made for a number of different platforms.  This guide
specifically will cover the version made for the Wii, although it can be used
generally for the PSP version as well.   The two versions are very similar in
terms of general plot points and strategy.  The difference is mainly in
details.  For example, the Wii version allows one to craft more clothing items
as well as jewelry.  The PSP only allows your Sim to craft complete outfits.

The game is based on a shipwreck of a group of Sims who have gone forth on a
pleasure cruise apparently.  You have the opportunity to create up to six
different Sims of either or both genders and to choose their names,
appearance, astrological sign and career.  You can choose between the
following careers:

Musician
Doctor
Ranger
Chef
Mechanic

Each career gives one 'Bonus' in terms of Skills.  Doctor is the best choice
as it is the only career that gives the Sim two different Skills, one Logic
point and one Mechanical point.  These are the most useful Skills to have at
the start of the game, as you need them to craft tools and other objects.
Cooking and Creativity Skills are easy to acquire on the deserted island; a
bonus, therefore, in either of these categories is not as useful as Logic and
Mechanical.  In my game, I made all my crew Doctors.  This may smack of
cheating to some, but it made my game much easier, particularly as the game
will insist on the death of one of your Sims at some point.  If all your
crewmates have the most important basic skills, the loss of any specific
crewmate temporarily will be less dire..

You choose one Sim as captain.  This is the ONLY Sim you will be able to
control when the shipwreck occurs.  If you have created six Sims with
different personalities and careers, choose the most practical and skilled as
your captain.  In other words, choose a Doctor!

Once you have created your crew, you have an option to save your game.  Do
so.  If you are playing the Wii version, you will be offered only a single
Save slot.  If you are playing the PSP version, you can save in multiple slots
at different points in the game.  You may wish to save more than once now in
order to give yourself a chance to play multiple games without being obliged
to create an entirely new crew for each.  On the other hand, the game is
fairly linear, unlike Harvest Moon games, and you do not have that many
different choices at the beginning in terms of plot.

You now will experience the shipwreck.  You then will see a prompt:

The Sims have shipwrecked!  Find and unite your lost crew.  Help them get home.

You now assume control of the single Sim who has washed up on the beach.

Goals in the Sims2 Castaway game are defined in terms of Books that your Sims
will discover on the various islands they explore.  There is one book that is
devoted to exploration of each major Island.  There are other books that deal
with specific aspects of the game, such as farming and planning a resort.

You will find your first book immediately upon assuming control of your Sim.


'It's Moneywell's Big Book of Survival!  This will help your Sim survive.  Do
you want to read it and play the tutorial?'



Basic Game Tutorial:



The game now will instruct you on Wii controls, using a series of Survival
Tips to do so:

Survival Tip 1:  Survey your Environment:

Move with the Nunchuk.  Zoom in and out with Up and Down.  Look Left and Right
with Left and Right.  (That did not require much instruction!)

Click on the prompt to perform the action or press the Z button, then use the
Nunchuk to make the selection.

Survival Tip 2:  Gather supplies!

Walk up to something and press Z.  If there is more than one action, tilt the
Nunchuk up or down to select one.

Survival Tip 3: Eat!

This is your Hunger motive.  Eating will keep it filled.  If it reaches empty,
the Sim will starve.  To check your Hunger, point the Wii Remote at the
screen.  Then your Sim should find something to eat.

Survival Tip 4:  Sleep!

This is your Energy motive. Sleeping will keep it filled.  To check your
Energy, point the WiiRemote at the screen.  Then your Sim should use the
sleeping mat to get some rest.

Point at Tools.  Press A to choose Sleeping Mat, put it in your hand and
select sleep.

Survival Tip 5:  Fire Saves.

The warmth of a fire will help you cook and make a place feel like home.
Point at Diamond and press A, then go to 'Plans' and build and Emergency Fire
Pit.

N.B.  The Emergency Fire Pit requires Driftwood to build.

You do not have to perform these actions in the order or fashion suggested by
the game, but it will continue to give you the prompt until you have performed
the action.

Basically, what you need to do at this stage is to collect each and every item
you can find on the beach.  You particularly will need to collect Driftwood,
but food items are vital as well.  I created my Emergency Fire Pit first, then
cooked a meal and finally used my Sleeping Mat to Sleep.

Once you have done all this:

Basic Survival Complete!  Check your Mood Metre to see how your Sim is doing.
The better their Mood, the more successful they will be.

The game now will instruct you on the importance of your Goals.  As previously
stated, all Goals are contained in the various Books that your Sims will find
in their progress from island to island.

Be Goal Oriented.  To stay sane, your Sims need goals.  Lost books on the
Island will tell them what to do.


Lost Books:


The Lost Books are as follows:


Book 1:  Moneywell's Big Book of Survival

Basic Survival

1.  Build a Workbench

Find two upright boulders that are side by side and, provided that you have
Driftwood in your Inventory, you automatically will be given the option to
Build a Workbench.

2.  Cook a Fish

You need to craft a Bamboo Spear at the Workbench in order to be given the
option to fish.  Simply go into the water and find a School of Fish.  Here you
will see an option to 'Stab' the fish.  When a fish leaps into the air, hit
the 'Stab' option to catch a fish.

At the start of the game, you only will have the Emergency Fire Pit for
cooking.  Go to the Pit and choose the option to 'Cook Meal', then choose the
Fish as your ingredient to fulfil this goal.

3.  Explore the Jungle

By exploring the Bramble Path to the Deep Jungle, you will fulfil this goal.
It is the first 'Portal' in the game.

In doing this, you will unlock:

New Plans:  Island Clothes.  Use a workbench to craft them and replace your
tattered threads.

4.  Make a Shelter

You need only make a basic Roof in order to fulfil this goal.  In Sims2
Castaway, shelters assume two forms:  complete homes built according to game
plans and individual parts of buildings planned and set in place by the
player.  In other words, you can go to the Shelters Menu and choose a complete
building to craft or you can craft Walls, Doors, Windows and a Roof
individually.

Shelters serve a number of purposes but the main practical purpose is to allow
your Sim to sleep when it is raining.  You need only a roof above a bed or a
roof with the Sleeping Mat to achieve this limited goal.  The other important
function of the various shelter types is to unlock new options.  Specific
types of shelters are listed as goals in the various Books that your Sims will
find.

Do not wait to fulfil this goal until you have the resources to build an
entire building.  Simply erect a tiny roof on Pier Beach when you arrive there
for the first time and then build your first bed beneath the awning to
complete the basic survival section of the first Lost Book.

N.B.  YOU MUST BUILD A SHELTER OF SOME KIND, EVEN A ROOF, ON THE FIRST ISLAND
IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE SECOND CRAFTING BENCH.


Unlocking New Options:


Remember that new options are unlocked in one of the following manners:

1.  By fulfilling a Goal set forth in one of the Lost Books;
2.  By crafting a new Tool;
3.  By harvesting or collecting a new item;
4.  By exploring a new 'portal' on the Map.

It is important to idenfity every new plant, bush or tree that you encounter.
Once identified, the item can be harvested or collected.  It is important to
explore every new 'portal'.  Once you have managed to take the new path, you
will be able to use the Map 'shortcut' by going to the Map menu and simply
choosing a destination.  Time is consumed whenever you go from one place to
another, but your Sim need not go to the trouble of finding the portal or
having a specific measure either of energy or of skill once the portal has
been unlocked.

Resources:


In this game, your success partly will depend on your knowledge of the
resources that are available as well as the location/s of each.  The resources
that you can collect or harvest depend partly on the tools that you have
crafted.   Each location on the islands has its own specific resources but the
options to collect or harvest them will not be displayed unless you have the
appropriate tool.   A list of every resource available at each location has
been included in this guide.


Walkthrough, First Beach:


At any beach, you will see a large rock in the water near the shore.  Go to it
to obtain an option to Harvest Clams.

The first time that you Harvest Clams, you should find a piece of Jade in one
of the clams.

Prompt:  You have found a piece of jade inside one of the clams.

Whenever you cook, your Cooking Skill will increase.  You do not need to cook
much in order to gain the first Cooking Skill Point.  Cook a Roast using a
Clam.

Prompt: You've increased a skill!  Practice makes perfect. You can see your
skills under Personal Info.

Go to the two rocks and choose Build in order to build a Workbench.

Build a Workbench:  Done!
New Plans:  You now can craft a simple shelter, a bamboo fishing spear and
other useful tools.

Craft the Bamboo Fishing Spear in order to be able to fish in the ocean.  When
you see a group of fish swimming, you can use your Spear.  Choose the 'Stab'
option only when a fish leaps into the air in order to catch one successfully.

Make a drink by cooking a coconut and you will receive a prompt:

Bladder Motive Unlocked!
This is your Bladder Motive.  Eating makes it go down and using Toilet Paper
or a Toilet helps improve it.

On the First Beach, there is one new plant to identify:

Identify Unknown Bush
Pokeberries


First Beach Resources:


For each location on the map, there will be a list of all resources that can
be found there as well as any natural formations such as Rocks that can be
transformed into Crafting Benches or Hot Springs that can be used for
Hygiene.  Finally, all portals to other locations will be listed.

The items that you can find on the First Beach are:

On Beach:
  Driftwood
  Various Shells

Coconut Palms
  Soft Wood  (You will need a Shell Axe in order to be able to chop Soft Wood)
  Coconuts
  Palm Fronds
Bamboo

Identify:
  Pokeberries

In Ocean:

Fish
  (Use Bamboo Spear or Fishing Pole)
  Among the fish you can catch are:
  Mackerel
  Chub

Clams
  Dive from Rock in the water
  Items found in Clams randomly:
    Jade
    Pearls
    Gold

Two Rocks
  Crafting Bench

Access:
  Deep Jungle through Bramble Path


Portals:


New locations are unlocked by finding a 'Portal' represented by the revolving
icon of footprints.  When you go through the Portal, you will find yourself in
a new location.  Very often, however, unlocking a portal is not as simple as
finding it.  In many cases, you may need a certain amount of Skill, especially
Body Skill as well as a specific total amount of energy in order to be able to
face the trial of the journey.

The first 'portal' in the game leads from the First Beach to the Deep Jungle.

Go the footprints and choose:
Explore Brambles

When you reach the Deep Jungle, you will see a prompt:

Prompt:  Explore the Jungle: Done!

Barriers like this take time and cost some of your Energy.  They can even
damage your clothes.

New Plans:  Island Clothes.  Use a workbench to craft them and replace your
tattered threads.


New Wardrobe:


The brambles in the path mainly exist as an excuse to allow your Sims to
create new clothing for themselves.  You will need the Crafting Bench until
you have a Sewing Kit.

New clothing options and designs usually are unlocked when you discover a new
raw material.  The Deep Jungle has the first of these in the form of Rattan.

As soon as harvest Rattan you will see a prompt:

New Plans:  Rattan clothing.


Deep Jungle Resources:


Vines
Starfruit
Cucumbers
Coconut Palm
  Coconuts
  Soft Wood
  Palm Fronds
Bamboo
Rumberries
Manchineel Fruit
Pokeberries
Rattan

Koa Tree
  Hardwood
  N.B.  You must have the Level 2 Axe in order to chop hardwood.

Identify:
  Guarana
  Cannonball Fruit

1 Hieroglyphic

Access:
  First Beach
  Pier Beach


Vital New Resources:


The most important new resources you will find in the Deep Jungle are Guarana,
Vines and Rattan.  Vines and Rattan are used to create clothing, shelter and
items of furniture.  Vines are used in the creation of important basic tools.
Guarana is a 'secret weapon' in exploration of new portals.  You will need to
be able to cook some Guarana in order to be able to travel to the next island
and to use other portals in the future.

There is a Hieroglyph to be found in the Deep Jungle as well.


Pier Beach:


As soon as you arrive at Pier Beach, you will find your second Lost Book:

New Book
Your Sim has found Shipwrecked by Lord Reginald Stickywyck.  It has more goals
for your Sim.

If you walk to the shore, you will see two large pillars standing side by
side.  Go to them to access an option to:

Inspect Ancient Pier

This will unlock a new plan:

Reach the Other Island.
New Goals:  There is more than one Island!  Getting there is your Sims' new
goal.
New Plan:  Raft

When you have done this, build an Emergency Fire Pit and if you have not done
so previously, cook a fish to achieve one of the first goals listed in the
first book.

Once you have finished eating, choose another option at the fire:

Choose:  Sit

When you sit by the fire, it will unlock a new motive for your Sims:

Comfort Motive Unlocked.
This is your Comfort Motive.  Satisfy it with beds and chairs.
New Plans:  Improvised Cot

Improvised Cot:  4 Driftwood, 3 Vines

You should have these so build the cot immediately and sleep as you will be
weary by now.

By sleeping again on the cot, you will unlock another motive:

Fun Motive Unlocked
This is your Fun Motive.  If you can't laugh about being stranded on an
Island, what can you laugh about?  Make music and play games to have fun.  New
Plan:  Music Shaker and the Sand Buddy

Once you have unlocked the Fun Motive, you need to satisfy it.  There are many
ways of doing so.  Some will increase your Creativity or your Social Skills in
the process.


Fun and Creativity:


By making the Shaker and playing music, you can satisfy your Sim's Fun Motive
as well as increasing his/her Creativity.  A Shaker is made as follows:

Shaker:

Motive Benefits: Fun 6
Resources Required:
  Bamboo: 1
  Coconut: 1
  Cherry: 5
Places, Tools and Skills:
  Crafting Bench

As you can see, you will need to have a Crafting Bench in order to create the
Shaker.  If you have the necessary raw materials and your Sim has the
necessary Skill, you can build a Bamboo Crafting Bench as follows:

Bamboo Crafting Bench
Motive Benefits: None
Resources Required:
  Bamboo: 16
  Vines: 14
Places, Tools and Skills:
  Mechanical: 2

If you do not have the option to create a Crafting Bench at present, you will
be obliged either to return to the First Beach or go on to the Shipwreck
Lagoon in order to be able to create the Shaker.  You will unlock the Bamboo
Crafting Bench by creating even a simple shelter in the form of a roof
anywhere on the First Island.


Social Motive and Skills:


There is another way to satisfy your Fun Motive at this point in the game and
to increase your Social Skills in the form of Charisma.  The Sand Buddy can be
constructed as an artificial companion.  Although only Comfort is given as a
Motive Benefit, using 'Chat' to the Sand Buddy can increase your Social Motive
and gradually increase Charisma.  It is far more effective to speak to a live
audience, however.

Sand Buddy:
Motive Benefits: Comfort 4
Resources Required:
  Grass: 10
  Pokeberry: 5
  Coconut: 1


Chimps:


In fact, it is as Pier Beach that you will encounter your first living
creature, a Chimp.  At first, you will have only one option in terms of
interaction:

Shoo the Chimp

Do it, even if it appears to be rude and unfeeling.  It will unlock your
Social Motive and provide the first step in befriending the Chimp population
on the islands.  Befriending a Chimp is a goal in one of the Lost Books and
Chimps who are friends often will deliver useful items wrapped in Banana
Leaves.  In fact, you first pieces of Hardwood, a vital resource, probably
will be given to you in a Chimp Delivery.

Social Motive Unlocked
This is your Social Motive.  Spend time with friends, even if they are
imaginary or primates.

Keep befriending him until:

Befriend a Chimp: Done



Pier Beach Resources:


Hieroglyphic
  (You must have the complete set of Hieroglyphic stones in order to be able
to  use them to create a Stele, thereby gaining the key to unlock a new Portal
later in the game.)

Bananas
  Bananas
  Banana Leaves
Coconut Palm
  Palm Fronds
  Soft Wood
  Coconuts
Grass
Cherries

Identify:

Privet
Almonds
Ginger
Blackberries

On Beach:

Driftwood
Bottled Messages
Shells
Stones

Fish
Clams


Vital New Resources:


The most vital new resources you will find at Pier Beach are Cherries, Grass
and Stones.  Grass is used in the creation of clothing, shelter and
furniture.  Cherries are used to create your first musical instrument.  Stones
are used for tools and furniture.  They are randomly found along the beaches
but you may find your first stones at this beach.


Your Menu:


It is important to be familiar with your Menu choices.  Your Menu offers you a
list of plans and goals as well as details about your Social Relationships and
the option to Save your Game or Quit.

Your Menu includes the following:

Plans
Inventory
Personal Info
Map
Game Options
Goals
Collectibles
Fashion and Grooming
Save/Quit

The section devoted to Plans is one of the most vital sections in the Menu.
Here you will find all the projects that have been unlocked, whether tools,
objects, furniture, clothing or shelters.

At this point in the game, you should have the following Plans:


Plans:



Tool Plans:


Shell Axe
Motive Benefits: None

Resources Required:  Bamboo: 50, Vine: 30, Palm Frond: 10

Places, Tools and Skills:
Ancient Pier
Mechanical: 2
Body: 2


Roof Plans:


Tiny 1 x 3 Shack Roof
Resources Required:  Driftwood: 3, Vine: 3, Banana Leaf: 3

You will note that many categories of Plans have not been unlocked yet.  They
will be unlocked soon.  The appearance of a plan in your Menu does not depend
on the availability of the items required to complete it.  Sisal cannot be
found on the first Island at all, and yet the plans for making Rope and Twine
are available.


Inventory:


Your Inventory is the second section in the Menu.  Inventory can be explored
in two different ways.  You either can reach it through the main Menu by
hitting the top button icon on the upper right side of the screen or you can
reach it directly by hitting the Inventory Icon below the top button on the
upper right side of the screen.  If you access it through the main menu, you
will have more detailed organisation, as Inventory will be divided into the
following categories:

Resources
Objects
Tools
Clothing
Fruit
Veggies, Nuts and Grains
Small Fish
Medium Fish
Large Fish
Meat
Spices

If you access Inventory through the Inventory Icon on the top right of the
screen, you will find only two categories:

Resources
Food

There is one advantage to access of the Inventory through the Icon on the
screen and that is the 'Grab' option.  Although it is available when you
access the Main Menu, this method serves as a quick short-cut.


Grab Mode:



Grab Mode using the PSP:

Grab Mode is used to change the landscape when you have added objects like
Fire Pits or houses to it.  You can use Grab Mode to take items from the
ground and add them to your Inventory or simply to delete them.

Use X to Grab an Object.
Use Circle to turn the Object.
Use Square to bring up a choice of options:
  Delete
  Add
  Cancel

Delete will be your only option if the item is part of a Shelter, such as a
Wall, Door, Window or Roof.  Add is another option only if the item is
anything apart from a Shelter, such as a Stove, a Fire Pit or an Instrument.
If you choose Add, you can pick up the item and add it to your Inventory.

Grab Mode is useful if you have crafted an item but placed it improperly.  If
a Stove is turned against a Wall, for example, use the Grab Mode to turn it to
make it accessible.  If you wish to abandon a location, use Add to move all
items into your Inventory.


Grab Mode using the Wii:

Grab Mode is used to change the landscape when you have added objects like
Fire Pits or houses to it.  You can use Grab Mode to take items from the
ground and add them to your Inventory or simply to delete them.

You can use Grab Mode as follows with the Wiimote:

Grab the Object using A.

Press 1 and you will see a new menu:
Delete Object

Would you like to delete the existing object?
Yes
No
Add to Inventory


Delete will be your only option if the item is part of a Shelter, such as a
Wall, Door, Window or Roof.  Add is another option only if the item is
anything apart from a Shelter, such as a Stove, a Fire Pit or an Instrument.
If you choose Add, you can pick up the item and add it to your Inventory.

Grab Mode is useful if you have crafted an item but placed it improperly.  If
a Stove is turned against a Wall, for example, use the Grab Mode to turn it to
make it accessible.  If you wish to abandon a location, use Add to move all
items into your Inventory.



Personal Info:


The 'Personal Info' section gives the Sim's personality, skills, job with the
tribe and his/her relationships with other Sims and primates.


Relationships:


Relationships
With Chimps
With Crewmates


Job:


The Job choices are as follows:

Collector:  Collectors collect and stockpile nonfood resources, like wood and
vines.

Each Job is performed:  Once a Day.



Skills:


Skills are:

Cooking
Mechanical
Charisma
Body
Logic
Creativity

The Maximum number of Skill Points in any category is 10.

Obtaining Skill Points:


The methods by which you can obtain Skill Points are as follows:

Cooking:  You gain Cooking Skills each time you harvest fruits and vegetables
and each time you cook a meal, whether at a fire pit or stove.

Mechanical:  You gain Mechanical Skills each time to craft a tool, build a hut
or light a fire.

Charisma:  You gain Charisma whenever you engage in Social Interactions with
other creatures, whether another crewmate, an animal or a make-believe friend
in the form of a Sand Buddy!

Body:  You gain Body Skills by climbing trees, spearing fish or harvesting
inexhaustible resources such as obsidian, pumice or fine sand.

Logic:  You gain Logic Skills whenever you play chess, find special items such
as hieroglyphic or treasure map pieces or fish using a fishing pole.

Creativity:  You gain Creativity by playing any instrument, even a simple
Shaker and by making clothing.


Personality:


Personality is determined solely by Astrological sign in this game.

Astrological Sign


Map:


The Map is one of the most useful options that can be accessed through the
Main Menu.  Each island is displayed individually.  Use the Left and Right
arrows on the Wiimote to move your view from Island to Island.  If you click
on any location that has been unlocked previously on ANY Island, your Sim will
go there directly.  Time is taken for any travel, and a destination that is
close will consume less time than one that is far away.  Nonetheless, the Map
offers an extremely useful shortcut for the player.


Game Options:


Game Options are the usual Settings options in terms of Music, Sound Effects,
Voice and Ambience.  They have no bearing on the actual Plot of the game.


Goals:


Like Inventory, your Goals can be accessed in one of two ways, either by going
through the Main Menu or by hitting the third button in the upper right corner
of the screen.  Your Goals in either case are organised in the Lost Books.
New Books will become available as you unlock new Islands.

All Books with their contents are listed in the Lost Books section of this
guide.


Collectibles:


Collectibles are Hieroglyphics and pieces of the Treasure Map.

Hieroglyphics
Treasure Map


Fashion and Grooming:


Clothing Plans are divided into the following categories:

Hat
Shirt
Bottoms
Shoes
Bracelet
Belt
Jewelry

New options and designs are unlocked usually when a new resource or raw
material is discovered.  For example, the discovery and collection of Rattan
unlocks Rattan clothing.  The first collection of chicken feathers unlocks
Feather Clothing.


Save/Quit:


Your options here are:

Save
Quit
Save and Quit


Pier Beach Walkthrough:


When you reach Pier Beach, you should be able to complete the first section of
the First Lost Book if you did not do so previously and you should be able to
complete the first section as well as most of the second section of the Second
Lost Book.

All goals in the Lost Books need not be completed in order nor need all goals
be completed in one book before you begin to complete goals in another book.
Some Goals are more advanced than others and cannot be completed early in the
game.


Basic Survival:


Remember that the four goals in the basic survival section of the First Lost
Book were to build a workbench, cook a fish, explore the Jungle and build a
Shelter.   If you did not cook a fish previously, do so now as soon as you
have built another Emergency Fire Pit on Pier Beach.  Always build a Home Tiki
as well for future use.

When you prepare to sleep now, go to the Main Menu, choose Roof Plans and
build the tiny shack roof:

Tiny 1 x 3 Shack Roof
Resources Required:  Driftwood: 3, Vine: 3, Banana Leaf: 3

Build an Improvised Cot beneath it as follows:

Improvised Cot
Motive Benefits:  Sleep 3, Comfort: 3
Resources Required:  Driftwood: 4  Vine: 3
Places, Tools and Skills: None

Now if it rains, your Sim will be able to continue to sleep peacefully, rather
than being awakened prematurely in a foul temper.  You should have collected
plenty of resources for items such as these in the Deep Jungle as you passed
through on your way to Pier Beach.


Unlocking the 2nd Crafting Bench:


Incidentally, you MUST build a shelter of some kind, even a roof, on the 1st
Island in order to unlock the Bamboo Crafting Bench.

When you complete all the Goals of basic Survival:

Basic Survival:  Done!
Good job!  Your Sim has finished every goal from this page.  This is the best
way to earn rewards and learn to make new things.

New Plan:  Bamboo Fishing Pole.

Home Life
New Goals:  Survivial is one thing, but making a home is another.
Accomplishing these will help your Sim live better.

New Plans:  Shack shelters.

Light the Home Torch:  Done!

Build a Bed:  Done!
New Plans:  Shack Furniture and a new Crafting Bench.

This is now your home.  Light the torch to manage your location.


Chimps are out to get me


On Pier Beach, either before or after you sleep beneath your first roof, you
should be able to fulfil the goals listed in the first section of 'Shipwrecked
by Lord R. Stickywyck', your Second Lost Book.

1.  Befriend a Chimp

You first need to choose the option to 'Shoo' the Chimp in order to establish
communication with it.  You then should name the Chimp and proceed to woo
his/her friendship by giving the Chimp bananas and entertaining it.  When you
are able to 'Hug' the Chimp, you will have succeeded in making your first
Chimp friend.  Using the 'Chat' option will raise YOUR social Motive.

2.  Use chimp to gather

Once a Chimp considers himself/herself your Friend, you may see the Chimp
return to you with a small green packet in hand.  This contains a random gift
consisting of resources.  Obtaining the packet from the Chimp the first time
can be a little tricky as the Chimp will be impatient and if you do
not 'Respond' quickly enough, will vanish again through a portal.

The Chimps:  Done!
New Plan:  Chimp of Portent Art


Chimp Delivery


At some point in the game, a Chimp will deliver a vital item in the form of
the first piece of the Treasure Map.  You must take delivery of the little
packet wrapped in banana leaves in order to acquire this piece of the Map.
When you place it in your inventory, you will see a prompt:

Chimp Delivery
Congratulations:  Your primate friend has brought you:
Treasure Map Piece: 1

In my own games, this particular item was delivered on the second Island, in
Skull Rock Jungle.


Home Life:


The second section of the Second Lost Book is devoted to 'Home Life'.  You
will have accomplished the first two goals at Pier Beach.    If you have
unlocked any plans for Tables, build one to achieve the third.  A table
improves the level of culture for your Sims.  If you have a table, you
can 'Serve' food on the table rather than placing it in the sand or dirt.  If
you have a table and chairs, you can sit and discourse with other Sims while
eating, improving your Social Motive as well as your Comfort and Food.  You
probably will not have any options to build a Table at this point, however.

1.  Light the Home Torch

2.  Build a Bed

3.  Build a Table


Reach the Other Island


1.  Build a raft

2.  Reach the second Island

The final section of the Second Lost Book deals with the goal of reaching the
next Island.  In order to build a raft, however, you will require quite a few
resources:

Raft:
Resources Required:  Bamboo: 50, Vine: 30, Palm Frond: 10

Places, Tools and Skills:
Ancient Pier
Mechanical: 2
Body: 2

As you can see, it is not merely a matter of resources but of Skills as well.
In order to gain Skills and acquire more resources, as well as exploring all
portals at the First Island known as Shipwreck Island, you need to explore one
more area.

Go to the right at Pier Beach past the almond tree and you will find a way to
Shipwreck Lagoon.


Shipwreck Lagoon


As you might have imagined from the name, Shipwreck Lagoon is the site of a
picturesque old shipwreck from the Golden Days of Piracy.  If you explore the
ship's deck, you will find another:

Hieroglyphic


Shipwreck Lagoon Resources


On ship deck:

  Clams


Shipwreck Lagoon Walkthrough


There is nothing really important here apart from the Hieroglyphic, but if you
were unable to craft a Bamboo Crafting Bench, set up a Workbench using the Two
Rocks here.


The Raft


As previously detailed, the second section of the Second Lost Book deals with
the goal of leaving the first island and reaching the next one.  You must
return to Pier Beach, to Inspect the Ancient Pier:

1.  Build a raft

2.  Reach the second Island

When you have collected the resources you need to build the Raft and have
achieved the Skill levels necessary to do so, go to the Ancient Pier and
choose the option to build a Raft.

When the Raft is completed, you will discover a new Portal:  to take the raft
to West Beach.
In attempting to choose the option, however, you may be thwarted by a prompt
to the effect that you do not possess sufficient energy to make the journey.
The game will advise you to build a better bed or better tools but that is not
necessary.  What is necessary is Guarana.

Guarana is a spice that raises energy levels rather like Caffeine.  You can
cook it at an Emergency Fire Pit as a single ingredient or add it to a Recipe
using any Stove.  Prepare it and drink it before you approach the Raft again.

Now you should be able to make the journey to the second Island.



Airplane Island


The second Island is named Airplane Island.  Like Shipwreck Island, it was
named thus because of the ruins of an Airplane that rest in the jungle.  The
point of entry from Shipwreck Island is the West Beach.


West Beach


Upon your arrival at West Beach, you will find the Third Lost Book:

New Challenges:
New Books
Your Sims has found The Log of the Final Voyage of Beard Beard the Pirate.  It
has more goals for your Sim.


Happy Reunion:


More exciting even than this book, however, is the appearance of one of your
long-lost crewmates.  You need to confront the crewmate and choose the option
to 'Greet' him/her as quickly as possible in order to accomplish a goal.

Greet a Crewmate: Done!
With the crew back together, things should be easier, right?

New Plan: Death Daisy Potion:  This will bring a Sim back to life.


Death Daisy Potion:


As always, there is a rather dark aspect to any Sims game.  In this game, one
Sim at least is doomed to expire at some point.  His/her resurrection will
depend upon the Death Daisy Potion.  If you think you can outwit the Grim
Reaper, you are mistaken.  Even if you are diligent in maintaining high levels
with respect to all Motives and needs, one day one of your Sims will refuse to
respond to command, and become fixed upon a pointless desire that the game
will not allow you to fulfil.  In one game, one of my Sims began to wait for a
game of 'Red Hands' with another Sim.  Even when I attempted to bring the
other Sim to her to play the game of 'Red Hands', I was unable to gain her
attention.  She witlessly waited there, hour after hour, for an activity I
could not enable between the two Sims.  Obviously, the game was determined to
kill her.

A day later, she was dead, having perished from unrequited longing for a game
of 'Red Hands'.
Fortunately, at that point I had all other necessary components to create the
Death Daisy Potion apart from the Death Daisy itself.  The flower appears only
when a Sim has died at the location of the Sim's death.

Crafting the Death Daisy Potion requires the following:

Death Daisy Potion:
Motive Benefits: None

Resources Required:
Death Daisy: 1
Blood Orange: 1
Manchineel Fruit: 1
Mandrake Root: 1

Places, Tools and Skills:
Crafting Bench: 1
Cooking: 3

Whenever a Sim does not appear at home at the end of the day, look at the Sims
Switcher.  If you see a gravestone above the Sim's icon, it means that the Sim
has died.  You need to find the location on the map where the Sim died in
order to find the Death Rock for that Sim.  The Death Rock is a memorial stone
rather like a gravestone.

Having found the Death Rock, you then need to choose the option to:

Mourn

Keep mourning until the Death Daisy appears, watered by the mourner's tears.
Choose the option to:

Pick Daisy

Now, make certain that one of the surviving Sims has a Cooking level of 3.
Send that Sim to the Crafting Bench to concoct the Death Daisy Potion.

Once the Death Daisy Potion has been made, you need to return to the Death
Rock.  You now will see two options:

Mourn
Resurrect

Any living Sim can resurrect a deceased one, provided you have the Death Daisy
Potion in your Inventory.  Once made, it will last forever.  Each time a Sim
dies, however, you need to go through the same steps of:

1.  Find Death Rock
2.  Mourn
3.  Pick Death Daisy
4.  Resurrect


Hygiene Motive:


When you have encountered another crewmate, your Hygiene Motive will be
unlocked.

Hygiene Motive Unlocked:  This is your Hygiene Motive.  With some one else
around, staying clean is important again.  Bathe often.

It is not too difficult to maintain decent hygiene on an Island.  Your Sim can
leap into the sea in order to raise his/her Hygiene Motive.  Hygiene will not
increase unless your Sim reaches deep water, however.  Swim as far out as
possible so that the Sim is up to his/her neck in the water at least.  Diving
for Clams usually will increase the Hygiene.

You will not be able to unlock a Shower or Outhouse at this point in the
game.  In fact, these are two of the later conveniences that are unlocked in
terms of furnishings.  Until then, you will be reduced to the use of Toilet
Paper and bathing in natural bodies of salt or fresh water.

On the Third Island, you will find a couple of Hot Springs that can be used to
increase Hygiene and Social Motives.


Gaining Friendship:



As with the first Chimp you encountered, you must befriend the crewmate in
order to achieve another goal.  The easiest way to do this is by using the
following options:

Play:
Joke

Telling jokes appears to be popular with every Sim and is the quickest way to
build up a friendship with an individual who has become a stranger in terms of
relationship ratings.  Keep telling jokes to the crewmate until he/she reaches
the Friendship Rating of 40, then choose:

Special
Invite Sim to Join Tribe

Provided the Friendship rating is at least 40, the Sim should accept your
invitation.  This is desirable for a number of reasons.

Invite Sim to Tribe: Done!
New Plans:  Better furniture

Your tribe has grown.  Now you can control both Sims, using the Sim Switcher.
Sims can also be given jobs to do around the home lot.

The Sim switcher is at the lower left of the screen.  It is a little confusing
to use at first, but you should be able to switch control of Sims if they are
in the same area of the map.  Sims in other areas cannot be controlled.


Home Tiki


As soon as you have the option to control another Sim, you need to make that
work to your advantage.  Build an Emergency Fire Pit if you have not done so
previously at West Beach, then erect the Home Tiki and Declare it Home.

Now assume control of the new crewmate and direct him/her to choose a Job for
the Tribe at the Home Tiki.  I personally like to set ALL Sims to 'Collect
Resources' as this is a means by which one can obtain items not otherwise
available at this point in the game.  When you are not in control of a Sim, he
or she apparently can wander and explore places that have not been unlocked
yet, to bring back interesting and useful items not otherwise available at
this point.


Conch


You need to collect a very useful item at this location.  The Conch is on the
ground near the pillars at the beach when you arrive at West Beach.

The Conch can be used as a musical instrument but more importantly, can be
used either to summon a single Sim or to summon the entire tribe.  Go to your
Inventory, find the Conch and place it in your hand.  You then will have a
choice either to summon one Sim or the entire Tribe by blowing on the Conch.
This is very useful when the Sim you are controlling has wandered far afield
and you wish to switch control to another Sim.  If your Sim is alone in the
area, simply use the Conch to summon the Tribe.  You then will be able to take
control of any Sim you like.

Tip:  Whenever you are controlling a Sim and he/she becomes exhausted and
requires sleep, make certain that you Summon the Tribe in order to be able to
take control of a new Sim as soon as you put the exhausted Sim to sleep.


Third Lost Book:


Your first Goals on the second Island are to be found in the first section of
the Third Lost Book:
Log of the Final voyage of Beard Beard the Pirate:

Explore the New Island

1.  Find the Jungle
This goal is met when you go from West Beach to Airplane Jungle.

2.  Find the Cave
This goal is met when you go from the Airplane Jungle through the entrance to
the Dark Cave.

3.  Find the River Plains
This goal is met when you go from Skull Rock Jungle to the West River Plains.

4.  Find the Other Beach
This goal is met when you go from the East River Plains to the East Beach.

Essentially, all four of these goals are met simply by finding the appropriate
new portals on the Island and going through them.


West Beach Resources:


Coconut Palm
  Palm Fronds
  Coconuts
  Soft Wood
Grass

    N.B.  It is very important to dive for Clams here as you will find a piece
of the Treasure Map inside one of the Clams.
   Treasure Map piece
   Jade
   Gold
   Pearls

On beach:
  Driftwood
  Shells
  Bottled Messages
  Crates


Random Items on Beach


There are a number of items that can be found on any beach.  Many of these are
washed up on the shore on a totally random basis.  Some are more common than
others.   The list of items that you can find along the shore of any beach is
as follows:

Driftwood
Shells
Stones
Bottled Messages
Crates


Bottled Messages:


Bottled Messages are glass bottles that contain messages.  Most of the
messages are rather amusing, if entirely useless.  From time to time, you may
receive a message from one of your missing crewmates, begging for rescue.  You
need not panic if you do; the messages have no effect whatsoever on gameplay.
In fact, the sole use of the Bottled Messages is the glass from the bottles.

Make certain that you save all Bottled Messages, stashing them in your
Inventory.  When you find the Forge on the Third Island, you will be able to
transform the old glass bottles into new glass for windows.


Crates:


From time to time, wooden Crates will be washed up on the shore of any beach.
You do need an Axe if you wish to have the option to 'Open' the Crate.  Some
of the items that can be found in wooden Crates are:

Garden Gnomes
Diving Helmets
Clothing


Exploring Airplane Island:


The portal that you will find on West Beach leads to the Airplane Jungle area.

When you enter Airplane Jungle:

Find the Jungle: Done!

Room Motive Unlocked
This is your Room Motive.  Keeping your Sims living in style will ensure a
good score.

The 'Room Motive' is your Sims' satisfaction with their living conditions at
home.  When there is rubbish or rotten food on the floor or tables, the Room
Motive will decrease.  Whenever a fire breaks out, it will leave Ash that
needs to be Swept in order to improve the Room Motive again.

The new Portal in the Airplane Jungle is the entrance to a Cave.  When you go
through this portal, you will achieve another goal:

Find the Cave: Done!

New Plans:  Obsidian Tools

In the Airplane Jungle, you will find the ruins of an airplane here as well as
a Radio.  Many new resources can be found in the Airplane Jungle.  Collect the
Radio and place it in your Inventory.  You will find it very useful later in
the game.


Radio:


When your Sims find the Radio in Airplane Jungle, they will be disposed to
listen to music and to dance to it.  You can change the station to find
different types of music, but it is not the best way for your Sims to increase
their Fun Motive as it does not teach them Skills.  It is far better for your
Sims to make their own music using musical instruments they have crafted as
this will increase their Creativity as well as giving them Fun.


Musical Ensembles:


The first musical instrument you will be able to create is a simple Shaker but
this is a valuable asset.  In fact, you should make more than one of these.
If one Sim is playing music, any other Sims can 'Join', provided there are
enough instruments for them to play.  'Joining' gives ALL the Sims who are
playing increased Social Motive as well as boosting their Creativity.

As the game progresses, you will be able to create more sophisticated
instruments with higher Motive Benefits.  Do not disdain the simple Shaker,
however.  It will take your Sims far along the road to a creative education.


Airplane Jungle Resources:

Manicheel Fruit
Bamboo
Mandrake Root
Guarana

Ti Leaves:


Ti Leaves are a new resource that you will discover in the Airplane Jungle.
When you collect them, you will obtain a prompt to the effect that you have a
new option to make clothing using Ti Leaves.

Harvest Ti Leaves:
New Plans: Ti Leaf Clothing


Dark Cave:


The Dark Cave is a fairly large series of caverns with pools of water and
obsidian deposits.  Caves are a natural form of shelter, so your Sims can
build beds here if you wish to create a home for them in the Dark Cave.  It
will not satisfy their Home Motive much, but it will allow them to sleep
peacefully when it is raining.  The pools of water can be used as natural
baths as well.


Statues of Llama Royalty:


There are four Statues of members of an ancient Llama royal family scattered
about the various island.  Finding them is a goal.  The second of the four
statues is to be found in the Dark Cave.

Simply finding the complete set of statues is the Goal.  You need not place
them anywhere, although Sims often enjoy the act of 'viewing' the Statues when
their Metre is fairly high.


Obsidian:


As any student of ancient history knows, obsidian is a fantastic material for
tools and weapons.  An obsidian blade is as sharp as a metal one, although not
as durable.  Obsidian tools were used in surgical procedures in ancient
civilisations.

There are a number of obsidian deposits in the Dark Cave, but you will not
have any option to interact with them unless you have the proper tool.  You
need to craft a stone hammer as soon as you have the necessary resources.

Obsidian is the first resource that you can harvest in unlimited quantities.
Once a Sim begins to harvest, he/she will continue until all energy is
exhausted.  It is a fabulous way of building Body Skills but you must be
careful not to deplete your Sim's metre completely!


Bamboo Crafting Bench:


Make the Bamboo Crafting Bench as soon as possible so you can make new tools:

Stone Chisel
Stone Hammer

Stone tools are needed to harvest Obsidian and you cannot craft them at the
first rudimentary Crafting Bench.



Dark Cave Resources:


Stones
Obsidian

Fish
  Mullet
  Bream?

Royal Statue


Portals in Dark Cave


You will find two new Portals in the Dark Cave.  One is an Ancient Door that
is locked.  You may choose to Inspect it, but you will not be able to unlock
it at this point in the game, no matter how many Skills your Sims may
possess.

The second new Portal is the Steep Passage that leads to the Skull Rock
Jungle.


Ancient Door


There are a number of ancient mysteries on the Islands, of which the Ancient
Door is the first.  It cannot be unlocked or explored at this point in the
game.  Simply take note of the shape of the aperture in the centre of the
door.  It is a keyhole in fact and you will need to find an object that fits
precisely into it in order to unlock the door.  As the object needed will be
found on the Third Island, you need not fret about the Ancient Door now.


Steep Passage


The Steep Passage is a Portal that requires extraordinary energy.  If you
attempt to climb it, you will see a prompt:

You do not have enough energy to use this portal.  You should try to get some
rest or build a better bed.

In fact, the best bed and the maximum amount of sleep probably would not
suffice in this situation.  You simply need to prepare a dish using Guarana.

At this point in the game, you should have the option to choose between five
different types of Fire Pits and Stoves.


Fire Pits and Stoves Plans


There are fundamental differences between Fire Pits and Stoves.  Although food
can be cooked at either, a Stove will not increase a Sim's Social or Fun
Motives.  A Fire Pit can, provided the Sim can persuade another Sim to 'Join'
him/her at the campfire.

When two Sims sit together at a campfire, you will see the options:

Tell Funny Story
Tell Ghost Story

Storytelling can raise Social and Fun Motives.  It can increase the friendship
between two Sims as well.

A Fire Pit is used to mark the tribe's territory through the erection of
a 'Home Tiki'.  You only will see the option to erect a Home Tiki if you have
created a Fire Pit.  A Stove does not offer this option.

As you can see, therefore, a Fire Pit of some kind is absolutely essential to
the Tribe.

There are differences in quality between the three Fire Pits you can make.
The first is the simplest but is most likely to cause uncontrolled fires.

As previously stated, fires are not caused by poor cooking skills or by chimp
interference.  They can be caused randomly by any fire burning in an Emergency
or Provisional Fire Pit.  They can be caused if a Sim leaves rubbish on the
ground rather than disposing of it properly.

Fire is less likely to escape from a Provisional Fire Pit than the Emergency
pit.  Furthermore, a Provisional Fire Pit will last longer than an Emergency
one.  The best Fire Pit, however, is the Fortified Fire Pit.  A Fortified Fire
Pit is durable and fairly safe, although it can collapse in time and require
rebuilding.

As far as Stoves are concerned, the basic difference between the different
plans are the number of ingredients that can be used to prepare any dish.

At all Fire Pits, only 1 Ingredient can be used, irrespective of the quality
of the Fire Pit.

At the Hut Stove, 2 ingredients can be combined to create a Dish.

At the Cabin Stove, 3 ingredients can be combined.

At the Bungalow Stove, the maximum number of 4 ingredients can be combined to
create a dish.  If it is made as a Group Meal, it will be considered
a 'Feast'.

The Bungalow Stove will not be unlocked at this point of the game, but I have
included it here as it is the best stove for cooking.

Cooking and Cleaning


At the first two Fire Pits, you will be able to cook for yourself but you will
not be able to cook for others.  At any Stove, however, you will have the
option to:

Cook Group Meal

Cooking a Group Meal requires more ingredients than a meal for oneself.  You
need 3 of each ingredient in order to be able to use an ingredient.   With
less than 3 of any single item, you will not be able to use it to prepare a
Group Meal.

When you Cook at a Fire Pit, you immediately eat the food that you have
prepared.  When you Cook at a Stove, you need to choose the option to: Eat.
When you cook a Group Meal, you need to do as follows:

Serve

If you have a table of any kind, you will place the dish on the table when
you 'Serve' it.  If you have no Table, you will place the dish on the ground
or floor.  You then need to choose:

Grab a Plate

After you take a portion of the dish, you need to choose:

Eat

When you have finished the dish, it will not vanish automatically.  You will
see the following options:

Drop
Clean Up

If you 'Drop' the dish, it will rot and create a poor environment for all
Sims.  Always force your Sim to clean up his/her food.  There are two ways to
Clean Up.

The default method is by throwing the remains into a Fire Pit.  If there is no
Fire Pit, your Sim will not be able to clean up and will leave the dish on the
ground to rot.

If there is a Fire Pit, but no fire is lit, your Sim will be obliged to light
the fire before he/she can clean up.  He/she then should collect ALL food
remains and throw them upon the bonfire.

The more sophisticated method of Clean Up is to throw all the remains into a
Toilet.  You need to have an outhouse in order to use this method.  If you
have an Outhouse, the Sim will attempt to throw the rubbish into the toilet.
If the Outhouse is occupied, the Sim may wait until it becomes free or he/she
may drop the food on the ground again.  I believe it depends partly on the
Sim's personality.

Try always when you control a Sim to clean up any area in which you have built
a home, as this will prevent accidental fires.


Skull Rock Jungle


When your Sim is rested and happy, try to Explore the Steep Passage.  If your
Sim cannot make the trip unaided, fix some Guarana and try again.  When he/she
emerges into the light of day, you will find yourself in the Skull Rock Jungle.

The Skull Rock Jungle has two wonderful new resources in the form of Sisal and
Clay.  Sisal is the item used in Rope and Twine.

To find the Clay, you may have to clear away other resources in front of it.
The Clay deposits can be found near a cliff wall, behind some Bamboo and other
plants.

As previously stated, if you take a delivery of a green banana leaf parcel
from a Chimp in Skull Rock Jungle, you may find:

Chimp Delivery
Congratulations:  Your primate friend has brought you:
Treasure Map Piece: 1

When you have harvested Sisal, either go to or build a Crafting Bench in order
to create two new tools:

  You then can craft two new tools:

Shell Hoe
Sewing Kit

With the Shell Hoe, you can chop Soft Wood from trees such as the Coconut Palm
and Papaya Tree.

West River Plains


West River Plains:


In Skull Rock Jungle, from the entrance to the Dark Cave,  immediately go to
the right to find the River Plains.

You will see a prompt:

Find the River Plains:  Done!
New Plans:  Better shelters and tools for farming.

New Book:  Your Sim has found Moneywell's Big Book of Survival 2.  It has more
goals for your Sim.

Exploring the new Plains, walk to the end of the area and you will see a
prompt next to a rock:

Craft Bridge across Chasm

You will need:
10 Rope
25 Bamboo
10 Softwood

You may not have sufficient Skill for this now but keep the resource list in
mind as your Sims collect items.

To the right of this rock is a trail that leads down through the Chasm to a
new area.  You may not have sufficient Body Skill, however, to 'Explore Chasm'.

You will meet your third crewmate in the West River Plains as well.  As with
respect to the second crewmate, first choose the option to:

Greet

After you greet the lost crewmate, choose 'More', then 'Tell Joke' again and
again until the Friendship Points reach about 40, then choose 'Special'
and 'Ask to Join Tribe'.

As soon as you gain control of another crewmate, make certain to set him/her a
Task at the Tiki.  If you have not built a Fire Pit at the West River Plains,
do so in order to build a Home Tiki there.   Set the Sim to Collect Resources
as this appears to be the most useful.  In this way, you will obtain extra
supplies for crafting tools, objects and shelters.

You will see your first chicken and your first wild boar in the West River
Plains as well.

Make the Bamboo Crafting Bench as soon as possible so you can make new tools:

Stone Chisel
Stone Hammer

These will allow you to harvest obsidian, very important to make the best
tools.  Remember that Obsidian can be found in the Dark Cave.  Like Clay, it
is an inexhaustible resource.

If you can confront a wild boar, you can acquire Ham and Leather from it as
well as Boar Tusks.  If you can catch a Chicken, you will be able to obtain
Chicken meat from it.


Wild Boar:


Fought a boar:
Hunt a Boar: Done!
New Plans:  Boar Clothes and  a Scarecrow



Chickens:


In specific locations in different areas, you either will see an actual
Chicken or find a pile of feathers that will give you a prompt as follows:

Set:
  Chicken Trap

In order to make a Chicken Trap, you will need:

Chicken Trap:
Motive Benefits: None
Resources Required:  Softwood: 10

Places, Tools and Skills:
Crafting Bench 1
Knife
Mechanical 5

As you can see, you do need to make the Chicken Trap at a Crafting Bench.
Once you have made the trap, it will go into your Inventory.  When you find a
location that offers the prompt to set the trap, you can do so.  More than one
Chicken Trap can be made and set at locations throughout the map.

You then need to go to the traps to see if a chicken has been caught at any of
them.   When you do catch a Chicken, you will see a prompt:

Catch a Chicken: Done!
New Plan:  Chicken Coop!

The first Chicken that you catch automatically will be converted to meat as
you will not have any place for its domestication.  Make a Chicken Coop if you
wish to have the choice to domesticate the next Chicken that you catch.

In order to make a Chicken Coop, you will need:

Chicken Coop
Motive Benefits:  None
Resources Required:
Softwood: 10
Grass: 10
Vine: 10

Places, Tools and Skills: Mechanical 4

As you can see, you do not need to be at a Crafting Bench in order to make a
Chicken Coop.  When you have built the Coop, you will be able to take the next
Chicken that you catch and choose 'Add' to add it to the Coop.

Add to Coop
Serenade Chicken
Collect Eggs

Once you have a Chicken in the Coop, you will have a new option:

Serenade Chicken

Do so and the Chicken will lay eggs for you.  You then will see an option to:

Collect Eggs.

When you collect your first eggs, you will fulfil another Goal:

Collect an Egg:  Done!

You can collect eggs from a chicken again and again.  There is no time limit.
You simply need to keep serenading the Chicken to induce it to produce more
eggs.

In your first visit to West River Plains, you should be able to fulfil the
first two goals in the first section of the Third Lost Book:

Live Off the Land

1.  Catch a Chicken

2.  Hunt a Boar


Fashion and Grooming


You may have noticed by now that your male crewmates have become increasingly
unkempt in appearance with long hair and beards.  All you need to do if you
wish to improve their grooming is to access the 'Fashion and Grooming' section
in the Main Menu.

Here you can go to 'Head' and then choose to restore a clean-shaven appearance
to the Sim.  If you wish to keep his hair long, however,  you are at liberty
to do so.  If you wish to give the male a shorter hairstyle, that can be done
as well.


New Portals at West River Plains:


Walk to the end of the area and you will see two options in terms of new
exits.

The first is:

Cross Chasm
Canyon Pass

The second is:  Build Bridge

To build a bridge across the Chasm, you will need the following:

Rope Bridge:

Motive Benefits:  None
Resources Required:  Rope: 10, Bamboo: 25, Softwood: 10
Places, Tools and Skills:  Chasm, Mechanical 4, Logic 4


Farming:


If you have been collecting ash from fire pits and have crafted a hoe, you
should be able to cultivate a patch of soil now to plant whatever resources or
crops you wish.

Cultivatable Soil Patch:

Motive Benefits: None
Resources Required:  Ash: 1
Places, Tools and Skills: Hoe, Cooking 4

Plant a crop or resource that is scarce in this area and then harvest it to
complete two goals in the fourth Lost Book:


Fourth Lost Book, Part I:


Moneywell's Big Book of Survival, Book 2

Farm

1.  Plant a Crop

2.  Harvest a Crop

3.  Harvest an Egg

You should have harvested an egg now if you set a trap for a Chicken and built
a chicken coop after catching one.  Simply Serenade the Chicken on top of the
Coop in order to be able to collect eggs from it.

When you have harvested your first crop, you will see a prompt:


Chicken Feathers:


The first time you see Chicken feathers on the ground and choose to collect
Feathers, you will obtain a new option:

New Plans:  Feather Clothing.
