Build their new life from the ground up and see if your Sims can cooperate to create a thriving island community. Decide where and how your Sims will live and what they will wear and eat. Help them make a go of it, or assist them in attempting to escape back to civilization. Either way, there are lots of laughs in store.Design your Sims' abode and furniture, craft the tools they will use to survive and scrounge up some clothes for them to wear. Hunt animals, gather food and prepare meals to sustain your hard-working Sims in their new environment. Explore the jungle, uncover its ancient mysteries and reveal clues that can help the Sims return to the lives they once knew. Decode a treasure map and stumble upon items that can help your Sims in their daily lives on the island. Trek through new territories, such as beaches, caves, lagoons and other areas. Use the DS stylus to control everything in the environment, play music with the microphone and complete such mini games as bug hunting, spearfishing and painting. The characters' behaviors will change as they learn to cope with their new world, creating a gameplay experience that's as real as life itself and twice as much fun.
