The Sims 3 Releases 'Barnacle Bay' World: Pirates, Fishermen and More!
Use "SimPoints" to Purchase This Pirate-Inspired Retreat for Your Sims!
The package of content is available in the EA store for 1,650 SimPoints (approximate value of $16.50). For the cost, Sims 3 players gain a new neighborhood: Barnacle Bay. Full of sunny beaches, Pirate-oriented community lots and décor, Barnacle Bay is one of the most highly anticipated min-expansions released to-date for The Sims 3. Pirate motifs remain one of the most popular themes among user-created content, and many websites with custom downloads are inundated with Pirate hats, peg legs and fake parrots.
Sims 3 players may also be interested in the newest item set released in the official store: Buccaneer's Bounty. This 16-item set compliments Barnacle Bay perfectly, offering even more scallywag-appropriate items. A Kraken fountain, decorative ship's wheel, clam shell planter and even a ship's cannon are all included in the set, which is available for a modest 700 SimPoints ($7.00 retail value). Four outfits are also included in the set, two for each gender, which have an old world charm and seafarer's rugged appeal.
These mini-expansions are the latest method EA has developed to keep Sims 3 players hooked during the unfortunate downtime between true expansions. The highly anticipated Sims 3: Late Night expansion pack is scheduled for release on October 26th, 2010; "Late Night," which has strong similarities to the Sims 2 expansion "Night Life," seems to signal the resurrection-and hopefully, the improvement-of Sims vampires.
Sims 3 players seeking additional Pirate-themed goodies to compliment Barnacle Bay and Buccaneer's Bounty should consider some of the highly popular custom content websites. The Sims Resource offers a vast array of intricate, highly popular downloadable bonus content; a monthly subscription fee gives access to both the limited free content and the huge library of member exclusives. Whether you're looking for Pirate wench attire, another decorative ship's wheel or a stuffed parrot, Sims 3 players and the EA store have you covered for all your scallywag needs!
