Felicity Island

Felicity Island is one of the neighborhoods from The Sims Castaway Stories. This island is where the story Shipwrecked and Single takes place.

Families

 * Anuata: Felicity Island's resident nomad Rarahu doesn't have a home, because he didn't want his prey to get familiar with his scent. But he's getting tired of carrying his collection of blankets everywhere, so he has been reconsidering his lifestyle.


 * Bailey: After Hugh nearly crashed the escape helicopter in a struggle over the radio, the pilot dropped him back off on Felicity Island. “You’ll be hearing from my lawyer!” Hugh shouted after the pilot, and he still plans to make good on that threat -- right after he finds a telephone, and calls his broker.


 * Barnham: Sandra means well, she’s just a little out of touch with the lives of workaday Sims. Unfortunately, she mentioned her prize begonias once too often for the escape helicopter pilot's liking. Now she'll have plenty of time to cultivate the native flora of Felicity Island.


 * Bennett: Your mechanical skills were good enough to earn you a working passage on the Solomon Queen to the hottest singles resort in the world, Club Meet Your Mate. Now that you're shipwrecked, your survival skills are going to require as much work as the ship's engines did.


 * Gibson: Rescue had arrived, but Gina and the other castaways had a little difficulty staying on the pilot's good side. Before being dumped back on Felicity Island, Gina learned an important lesson -- when asking a helicopter pilot for "lessons," always wait for his answer before grabbing the control stick.


 * Heimata: The Heimata family are among the most notable people on Felicity Island. Rainui is famous for her drama queen ways, and Ahio is famous for being able to put up with her.


 * Herenui: By custom, the unattached women of the tribe live in huts in this jungle clearing. This fosters a sense of sharing and community, and makes lighter work out of daily living for all.


 * Knight: Writing an article on Club Meet Your Mate for "Going Places" magazine was a great opportunity, until that unfortunate shipwreck incident. If you can improve your survival skills enough, and hang in until rescue, you might be able to sell this story as a movie of the week.


 * Manave: The Manave family are close-knit, loving, and easygoing, despite bearing the weight of leading the tribe. Luckily, Fangaloka has developed a good relationship with all known predators over the years.


 * Smith: Much to their surprise, Robby and Emma found happiness on Felicity Island. Now that they've decided to stay, will they grow closer to one another or will they simply drive each other nuts?


 * Tama: The Tamas were Felicity Island's shamans, herbalists, and all-round mystics. Amanaki Tama appointed a heroic outsider to succeed him as shaman, since no one in his own family was suited to take over the role.


 * Whetu: By custom, the unattached men of the tribe live together in this hut. The friendship they share as a group alleviates their individual loneliness... for now.

Castaway Beach: One of the loveliest stretches of beach on Felicity Island is also a haven for beachcombers. The currents around the island carry a lot of marine life, flotsam and even the occasional castaway Sim to these shores.

Creepy Hollow: Sure, it's creepy, but it's not that bad. You've lived through worse, right? The old shaman used to camp here, and you can make good use of the site as well -- it's also one of the quietest places on Felicity Island.

The Crossroads: The crossroads are more of a gateway to other places than a destination in itself, but it's still a nice spot to go for a stroll -- stopping every once in a while to smell the flowers, or talk to strangers as they pass through.

Dead Man's Cove: If you can put its tragic past out of your mind, Dead Man's Cove offers some surprising comforts and resources. This lot is an ideal stop on long trips away from home because of its communal lean-to and available fishing.

The Forbidden Village: This village was hastily abandoned when a mysterious plague struck the local tribe. The plague is no longer a problem, but painful memories still linger in the tribe’s memory, so it stands as a monument to the departed.

The Hot Springs: These naturally formed hot springs are a true marvel of Felicity Island. Relaxing and therapeutic, the Hot Springs are a great place to socialize or just enjoy the scenery.

The House of Tuzu: Tuzu is the tribe’s name for the island’s great central volcano. The ancients built a magnificent building in Tuzu’s name, containing mystical secrets for those who dare to approach.

Hullaba Luau: When the tribe throws a party, they know how do to it right. Although this may look like a simple clearing, there's enough food and fun here to keep the tribe and their guests going all night.

The Jungle: Jungle -- it's almost everywhere on Felicity Island, but it's especially thick here. The lush vegetation and landscape here offer a variety of resources. Say "hello" to the orangutans while you're here.

The Lava Pools: Situated at the heart of Volcano Island, this location offers stunning views of rock, lava and incredible environmental heat. If you need to gather stone look no further, just don't trip and fall.

The Petrified Forest: This forest is what happens when trees give up on life, but it's still a beautiful and unusual environment. Abundant stone and still water add to a sense of calm and serenity.

Primeval Shrine: One of the last remains of a vanished culture, this big and imposing shrine isn't so frightening once you get to know it. In addition to offering wonderful scenery, it's possible to gather food here.

Scavenger Fields: Need grass? There's some here. Actually, there's a lot here. Scavenger Field is also the site of the mysterious Stone Oddities -- strange relics of an ancient, some say alien, presence.

Shady Lagoon: This is a beautiful and peaceful place with a rustic cabin and an all-natural waterfall, and placid pool to swim in. Relax by the waterfall or bring some food to cook and make a day of it.

Simian City: Stop by this home of the island's orangutans to say hello or just grab some bananas. Most Sims would consider this more of a village than a city, but it's still a nice place to be.

The Swamp: There isn't a brooding bog-covered creature around, but this is still pure unadulterated swamp. The soil here is moist and fertile, and the trees have responded accordingly.

Village Harbor: The center of village life, the Village Harbor features a cafe, wedding facilities and the offices of the tribal chief. Come here to keep up with old friends, or make some new ones.

Village Market: What the land can't provide for you the villagers probably can, so if there's a need you have to fill, you can probably find the answer here. Clothing and groceries are readily available, as well as local handicrafts.

Volcano Shores: If you can't stand being surrounded by lush vegetation for another minute, a visit to volcano shores will help ease your greenery blues. The monotonous rock and extreme temperatures will help you appreciate the jungle all over again.
