Gameplay on Mami Island is much more
open-ended, enabling gameplay reminiscent of more traditional Sims games. The
player is allowed to design their own Family and start Jobs as in The Jobs 5,
The Jobs 6 & The Jobs 7.
In "Shipwrecked and Single" mode, the player is
subjected to a scenario-driven style of gameplay. The player must choose to play
as David Bennett, Jessica Knight, or create a customized Sim, who
boards a cruise ship for singles named Solomon Queen, only to have it crash and
leave them drifting on the ocean clinging to a crate. The crate happens to float
onto land, after which the player is left to help the Sim survive. This game is
very controlled.
