is a relatively extensive process. Differences from other Sims games Unlike most Sims games outside the SimCity branch, the characters do not progress in age in The Sims 2: Castaway. Their hair grows longer and can be cut, but the Sims themselves don't get older. Another significant difference is some of the usually stock features like marriage have been either removed or adjusted for the alternative gameplay style; for example, players have to perform a specific sequence of actions in order for their Sims to get engaged. While this is true in ordinary Sims titles, other titles are more open in their methods of reaching engagement, whereas the process in Castaway is somewhat fixed.

Additionally, the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2 versions of the game do not feature WooHoo (euphemistic slang for sexual activities in the series). For unknown reasons, the PlayStation Portable is the only version of the game to feature WooHoo, but only after marriage and specific requirements are met.

Among other differences are: Players have to construct a shelter (and a substantial amount of any of the other objects) from scratch and have their Sim physically build it. Players have to craft their own clothing as – apart from accessories and underwear – their arrival on the island damages their normal clothes. However, it is possible to repair their original outfit once a sewing kit is crafted, albeit in an incomplete state. Players can also carry items such as beds and work-benches with them to other areas, and these items can be obtained by collecting resources instead of buying them with money like in ordinary Sims titles, or by finding lost shipments of items that occasionally wash up on the shore.

Some of these portals require the player to meet certain skill requirements, motive requirements, or sometimes make them build something such as a bridge or raft. Unlike other console Sims titles (with the exception of the later-released The Sims 3 console port and its stand-alone expansion, The
