Game Instalation Guide:installing the sims castaway stories on your machine
Hello! I’m Luca and welcome (back) to my tumblr! Recently i became addicted to the sims castaway stories so i decided that today i’m gonna show you how to install The Sims Castaway Stories on your machine! (and also make it to work)
i think we all know what is this game! So i won’t talk about it today! lil’ disclamer:The Sims Castaway Stories’s pc version is laptop frendly so it can run well on laptops but of course it has problems running on modern systems! However we will make the game to work on windows 10 so don’t worry!
Before we begin please disable your antivirus! And you will also need a tool for extracting .zip or .rar files! You can get Winrar or 7-Zip,it dosen’t matter that much! Tho i recommend using 7-Zip because it’s free :D
1.Go to https://oldgamesdownload.com/the-sims-castaway-stories/ and go to the download the sims castaway stories then select the purple button,Should look like below:
2.After that,select how would you like to download castaway stories! You have to options: mega.org or archive.org,it dosen’t matter which one you select.
3.(7-ZIP USERS) After it finished downloading select the archive and right-click on it and then select open with,scroll down to the bottom and select look on another app on this pc then go to C:\Program Files\7-zip then select 7zFM.exe ,for 32 bit systems it should be the same default location or Program Files (x86)
(WinRAR USERS) You can do the same process but select the default location for winrar UNLESS it’s already set as default.
4.Continuing,after that open the archive then select its content and paste it into a new folder.
5.After it finished the extracting procces make sure your antivirus is disabled because if it is enabled the crack is going to be detected as a virus and will get removed,then add the folder with the game’s setup to the exceptions list (just to be safe <3)
6.Open the setup and if you get a pop-up from UAC(user account control) saying:an admin has blocked you from running this app, follow this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jgwD2e1MB8&ab_channel=TreeAcademy
7.Open the setup again and follow the on-screen instructions,when a serial code is required use this: N78Q-RZKW-7428-DB09-DVTY then select the directory you want to install the game then let the installer do its job,after it got finished select quit then finish.
8. You can enable UAC again now,also add the game’s installation directory to your exceptions,For Windows Defender go to Virus&treat protection > Virus&Treat Protection settings then select manage settings then scrol down to add or remove exclusions and then select the game’s folder,the default is C:\Program Files or Program Files(86)\EA Games\The Sims Castaway Stories
9.Go to the crack folder then select the files inside them and copy them to the game’s folder mentioned above then go into the tsbin folder and right click and select paste. CONGRATS! THE GAME IS FULLY INSTALLED BUT WE AIN’T FINISHED YET!
1. We will need GRM (graphic rule maker) and ONLY IF YOU HAVE 8 GB OF RAM OR MORE we will use 4 gb patch. Download GRM here and 4 gb patch here
2.I’m gonna assume that you know how to install GRM and continue.After the tool got installed open it and it should look like this:
3.Select the game from the game list and then select the locate game button and if it dosen’t detect it select browse.. and select the game’s location.
4.Based on your GPU you need to force the texture memory or the game won t work,go to the search button (for windows 10) and search advanced display info and then scroll down and select Display Advanced Proprieties for Display 1 or 2,a window should open and you need to look at the dedicated video memory and the amount of vram that you see there is the amount that you will enter in the force texture memory section.
5.Select the disable sim shadows option and if you have an amd gpu select the fix amd radeon hd series option,then select your resolutions then save the files,select yes and then ok and you are done!
6.Open the 4gb patch and select the SimsCS.exe file from the tsbin sub-folder of the game’s directory.
Now you are done optimizing the game! You can right click on the SimsCS.exe and select send to desktop(create shortcut)
The game should work now,if you have any questions please ask them in the ask me anything section! Enjoy!
