Food (The Sims Castaway Stories)

Food is another, very important feature in The Sims Castaway Stories. It works in a similar was as resources do, but it's collected very differently.

It's important because every time a Sim makes a meal or takes a snack, they spend some food (it depends on the meal). Though when Sims collect food, they collect it in higher amounts so there's no worries if you have an active Sim in your house hold.

Food can be collected anywhere; on resident lots, community lots and beaches. Pets, like orangutans, can also help you collect food.

There are several ways to collect it:
 * Spearing fish in the sea.
 * Fishing in the pond (Note: Unlike in Seasons, you won't earn a badge doing this, however, if you do it long enough your Sim can change lures, more often catching better fish).
 * Collecting fruit on trees (coconuts, bananas, papayas (your Sim can also just eat one instead of collecting them)).
 * Going to work will get you food and resources.

Trivia

 * When a Sim snacks, he or she usually spends 11 foods.
 * Only orangutans can climb trees and collect food, unlike hyenas.
 * When a Sim spears fish, he or she may stab his or her leg, which might slow down the spearing until the Sim gets rid of the pain.
 * Fortune Sims usually have a want to collect a certain amount of foods. Since it's easy to collect, they player should focus on those wants.
 * The Sims Castaway Stories features all new meals of which none are from The Sims 2 originally. Though most meals have connections with fruits and meat, like "Pineapple Salad" or "Roasted Boar".
 * There's still the "Make Desert" option though.
