Here’s some crap I monkeyed with for my castaway island, which might not be of use to anyone else, but I needed them, so I futzed with them and thought I’d share.
First: All of the converted Castaway Stories neighborhood deco (except the crashed ship), now placeable any-damn-where you want to put ‘em. Put ‘em on roads. Put 'em in lots and build a treehouse-living community around them. Hell, put 'em in the water so you can have jungle right up to the waterline. Or a hut that used to be on the beach but that has since succumbed to the ravages of beach erosion. Or simply pretend that mango trees are mangroves. Whatever. Anyway, like so:
Seriously, I truly don’t get why there’re limitations on where you can put hood deco. It pisses me off. I will put stuff wherever I please, thank you. So now these, at least, are fixed.
I got these from @meetmetotheriver‘s Big Damn Castaway Stories Conversion Downloads. The file names are the same as they are in that download. So, if you already have these and you got them there and didn’t change the file names, all you need to do is let these files overwrite the ones you have. If you didn’t get them from that download and/or you renamed the files, you’ll need to take out what you’ve got and put these in. If you’ve never had these…Well, sorry for the lack of pics of all 25 things, but, trust me, they’re much prettier than the neighborhood palms from BV and they aren’t just palms, which is nice. And all you need to have them is these files.

And then there’s this thing:
It’s a toilet bush, also a Castaway Stories conversion. Sims do their potty business in it. It’s a stellar thing to have for a castaway scenario, obviously, or for any other scenario where you don’t want your poor pixels to have so much as an outhouse.
The problem? It sucks away like half of the user’s hygiene bar with each use. Well, my friends! As a person who’s spent weeks at a time far, far away from a porta-potty or an outhouse, much less an actual bathroom with honest-to-God plumbing, I’m here to tell you that doing your business in a bush doesn’t make you any stinkier than you already are. In fact, I’d wager that porta-potties at an outdoor rock concert do a lot more damage in that regard. So, I went into this thing and jettisoned the hygiene drain. Now the user comes out of the potty bush no more dirty than they were going into it.
Same thing applies as above: If you have this thing and got it from Meetme’s megapack and didn’t change the file name, just let this file overwrite what you have. Otherwise, you’ll need to search and destroy your current file and then stick this one in. Or if you don’t have this thing but want it, all you need is this file. In fact, it’s not even in a compressed file format. Just a nekkid .package file. Drag and drop to your downloads and be done with it.
