This sandbox is currently being used to jot down notes for an upcoming fanon.

Inventory
Fishing was a quick method of earning money in The Sims 2 era. Sims automatically have a fishing rod (Seasons) or a harpoon (Castaway Stories).

Digging (Bon Voyage) can reveal buried treasure. Shovels are free; maps must be found (or bought if the right mod is installed).

The Ancient Dragon Legend Scroll (Takemizu Village) and Mr. Mickles voodoo doll (Twikkii Island) are reward items and open up new interactions. Bigfoot (Three Lakes) is not included, as he has already been acquired before the beginning of the story.

Be sure to also learn the unique interactions from the vacation sub-neighborhoods. Three Lakes offers the Chest Pound greeting, Slap Dance, and Deep Tissue massage. Get the Hang Loose greeting, Hula Dance, and Hot Stone massage from Twikkii Island. Prioritize learning ninja teleportation from Takemizu Village, but also get the Bow greeting, Tai-Chi "dance", and Acupressure massage.

At a community lot, get the Sea Shanty from the pirate ship. Learn to Fire Dance and Break Dance.

Prioritize the Wholesale perk tree. Get Shark of Sharks before anything else. Build up the businesses to get the rest, especially the ones that let the Sim read other people. Leave the Cash perks for last; one-time infusions are of limited utility.

Join the Garden Club (Seasons) for the discounts, potion, and wishing well. Become a PlantSim for the outfit, then cure the Sim.

Max out all hobby enthusiasm bars (Freetime).
