Orangutan

Orangutan

Waiata, an orangutan.

Orangutans are a type of animal found in The Sims Castaway Stories. They can be found on every community lot, usually in groups. If a Sim gains enough relationship points with the orangutan, he or she can adopt it. Unlike cats and dogs, the orangutan is fully controllable.

Orangutans have all Sim needs, except Environment and Hygiene. They also have only three skills: logic, body and creativity. An orangutan can get a job. In order to get an promotion they have to learn skills and have a good job performance, much like Sims.

Orangutans never die and they can't have offspring with other orangutans. The only way of removing them from a household is evicting the family from the lot.
