▲[[File:Jaguar.png|left]]'''Jaguar''' is an animal introduced in [[The Sims Castaway Stories]].
 
The[[Mata]] is the only onejaguar foundthat appears in the''The gameSims isCastaway inStories'', theas Storyshe Modeplays (Shipwreckeda &part Single),in andthe her[[Shipwrecked nameand isSingle]] Matastory. She appears inon a location called the[[The Crossroads. She first appears]], when the player's Simprotagonist passes through the area, led by [[Winford Rhinehart]], who says thatto "the player should not be afraid of the wild". Later in the game's progress, after the player's Sim has befriended the locals, [[Amanaki Tama]], the village shaman, gothas her toMata guard the way to the[[The CursedForbidden Village]], werewhere the player is supposed to go to retrieve [[Fangaloka Manave]]'s sacred drums. TheBy playertaming must "gain her trust" before they can proceed into the village. This is done by drugging herMata with a specialNepeta leaf found inat the Shaman's[[Creepy hut. AfterHollow]], the playerprotagonist doesmay so,follow the waypath to the village opens, and Matashe disappearsguarded.
 
Mata will not appear again during or after the story. The purpose of jaguars seem to be limited to Mata's purpose in the story. However there are indications that jaguars were planned to have more purpose, as various descriptions in the game mention them. More interestingly, [[Felicity Island]] has eight jaguars hidden in its game files. These jaguars are treated as [[cats]] and have pet [[Personality|personalities]]. This seems to indicate that initially jaguars were intended to be the equivalent of [[stray]] [[cats]] (like [[hyena]]s are the equivalent of stray [[dogs]]), but that the idea had been dropped and left unfinished.
Jaguars cannot be found later in the story. They were probably intended to be in the normal game mode because if the player looks the Hygiene motive of an hyena or orangutan it says "Jaguars will clean themselves and so will orangutans." Although the player can't see the jaguar they can download a [http://lycanwolves.webs.com/adoptingjaguarsother.htm mod] that can fix this. With this mod the player can get the jaguar but cannot control them (even with cheats). This jaguar has a scratch motive, like cats, a need which however cannot be met, due to the lack of [[Scratching post|scratching posts]] in-game.
 
Although the player can't see the jaguar they can download a [https://web.archive.org/web/20151016153716/http://lycanwolves.webs.com/adoptingjaguarsother.htm mod] that allows players to summon jaguars, although they have few interactions, as if their character file is unfinished.
 
==Trivia==
*Jaguars can pounce on Sims, thus scaring them.
*Mata's name, as stated in the game, means "eye", and according to Amanaki Tama, it was given to herhim because of herhis ability to sense the player's Sim. Mata is both Malay and Indonesian which also means eye.▼
*Jaguars are the equivalent of cats in the game, like hyenas are the equivalent of dogs.
*AlthoughJaguars onlylike MataNepeta canleaves befor foundsome in the Story Modereason, thereas areshown 3in other jaguars inthe [[Shipwrecked &and Single. Their names are: Hakari, Hau and]] Tapustory.
*Jaguars have the same needs as [[cat]]s do. However, due to lack of interactions essential motives cannot be raised (most importantly, hunger). Therefore attempting to add jaguars to families should be avoided.
