==Overview==
  +
Barnacle Bay is by far the city with the deepest connection to the sea and to pirates. The city features four default [[beach]]es. The new clothing and personalities introduced are also outdoor-like, and many Sims possess the [[Angler]] trait.
*57 new [[Sim]]s and over 25 [[NPC]]s including familiar faces and pirates<ref name="ign q&a" />
 
*[[Dude LaMer]], a directionless surfer bum that can't get a second date with a girl<ref name="ign q&a" />
 
*[[Rose Rome]], an elderly gypsy that has been seen rummaging through trash<ref name="ign q&a" />
 
*[[Roni Pepper]], a slobby, scruffy pizza delivery guy with no sense of fashion<ref name="ign q&a" />
 
*[[Brian Adoyo]], a scientist that uses [[food]] as examples when explaining scientific theories<ref name="ign q&a" />
 
*[[Nina]] and [[Dina Caliente]]. There is a possibility that the sisters lived with their family in [[Barnacle Bay]] before the two arrived to [[Pleasantview]].
 
   
  +
The town is set after ''[[The Sims 2]]'', as the [[Caliente family|Caliente sisters]] have moved from [[Pleasantview]] to Barnacle Bay, which is confirmed by Dina's biography: ''"The Sims 2 Sisters are back! Can Dina break hearts in Barnacle Bay like she did in Pleasantview? She wants to find out."''

Fear me…ye…scurvy…dog… Alright, so I’m not a pirate. But my great, great, grandparents were. They burned, pillaged, looted and merrily stole treasure. It was a pirate’s life for them! They settled here in Barnacle Bay way back in the day, when the island was more about escaping the authorities and less about escaping the drudgery of everyday life. Even though it’s not really dangerous anymore, Barnacle Bay is an amazing place where people of all types come and find a place in the world where they can nestle.

With beautiful beaches, relaxing campgrounds, plentiful parks and a modern downtown area there’s something for everyone here! I mean, have you seen that restaurant? It’s a boat! A boat that crashed! How crazy is that? Haha! So come along for a visit; you just might find yourself wanting to stay.
The Annan house can be a chaotic place as the family is large. However, there is a lot of love in the house, despite the drama.

Barnacle Bay Reflect

Barnacle Bay is a world available for download from The Sims 3 Store, as the second world that The Sims 3 Store has released.[1] It is based on a moderately temperatured island with a tourist pirate theme. It became available to download on September 23, 2010. Prior to the release of The Sims 3 Barnacle Bay, the price was 1650 SimPoints,[2] but after the release of The Sims 3 Barnacle Bay, the price was raised to 2000 SimPoints. As of May 2012, Barnacle Bay is no longer available for purchase with SimPoints. Instead, it was included in a bundle worth $20 that includes 100 SimPoints and several exclusive contents.[3] Barnacle Bay was also given freely as part of The Sims 3: Island Paradise pre-order on Origin.

Description

Barnacle-logo-en

A New World Awaits - Escape to Barnacle Bay today!

An island nestled in the Simuyan Sea, Barnacle Bay is a vibrant vacation getaway with stunning beaches, campgrounds, parks, and a curiously modern downtown. First settled by pirates, fisherman, and artists - the world's inhabitants now enjoy relaxing at Smuggler's Beach and letting loose at The Wanderer's Watering Hole. Will Your trip be a vacation or a staycation?

Overview

Barnacle Bay is by far the city with the deepest connection to the sea and to pirates. The city features four default beaches. The new clothing and personalities introduced are also outdoor-like, and many Sims possess the Angler trait.

The town is set after The Sims 2, as the Caliente sisters have moved from Pleasantview to Barnacle Bay, which is confirmed by Dina's biography: "The Sims 2 Sisters are back! Can Dina break hearts in Barnacle Bay like she did in Pleasantview? She wants to find out."

Backstory

Backstory Render BB

Ahoy, Matey!

Fear me…ye…scurvy…dog… Alright, so I’m not a pirate. But my great, great, grandparents were. They burned, pillaged, looted and merrily stole treasure. It was a pirate’s life for them! They settled here in Barnacle Bay way back in the day, when the island was more about escaping the authorities and less about escaping the drudgery of everyday life. Even though it’s not really dangerous anymore, Barnacle Bay is an amazing place where people of all types come and find a place in the world where they can nestle.

With beautiful beaches, relaxing campgrounds, plentiful parks and a modern downtown area there’s something for everyone here! I mean, have you seen that restaurant? It’s a boat! A boat that crashed! How crazy is that? Haha! So come along for a visit; you just might find yourself wanting to stay.

§65,800
Difficulty: 5
Finn Annan, Flora Annan, Fern Annan, Philip Annan, Fawn Annan, Daisy Annan
The Annan house can be a chaotic place as the family is large. However, there is a lot of love in the house, despite the drama.
§3,250
Difficulty: 2
Jake Coastal, Josephine Coastal
The Coastals adore Barnacle Bay, and their love of the town's history and the island's eco-system is evident in their home.
§5,525
Difficulty: 1
Odessa Cross
Even though the house is tiny, it is vibrant and full of color, just like Odessa herself.
§50,000
Difficulty: 2
Lewis-Charlie Darwin, Preethi Darwin
The Darwins are a scientifically inclined couple who are passionate about fish and fishing. Lewis and Preethi have a garden and a small pond they love spending time on.

§150,000
Difficulty: 3
Eleanor Goldbeard, Anne Goldbeard, Tobias Goldbeard, Coral Goldbeard, Kidd Goldbeard

§22,000
Difficulty: 4
Shorty-John Inkbeard, Victoria Inkbeard, Morgan Inkbeard, Aeisha Inkbeard, Pearl Inkbeard, Bart Inkbeard
The Inkbeard family name seems to be a reference to an ancestral epic sea victory over a Giant Squid. There are rumors of fabulous wealth plundered and then lost, which makes this family suspicious of everyone.
§76,488
Difficulty: 1
Dude La Mer
Dude LaMer is a single surfer bum who is somewhat directionless. He has a lot of friends, but he can't get a second date because girls get tired of talking about the beach.
§55,000
Difficulty: 3
Gil Lai, Laurel Lai, Jonah Lai
The Lai family has been fishing for as far back as anyone can imagine, and some of their ancestors even have portraits up in City Hall. Of course why they are brandishing cutlasses no historian has quite figured out.
§4,200
Difficulty: 3
Buzz Malifa, Petunia Malifa, Marcus Malifa
Filled with all of Buzz's knick knacks and clutter, this household is a clash of tastes and styles. The personalities in this house also tend to collide, but this family has learned to make it work.

Difficulty: 1

§3,500
Difficulty: 1
Dave Piece
This is a classic bachelor pad. To upgrade this house one would have to torch the furniture first.
§12,000
Difficulty: 1
Thomas Quill
Thomas Quill is the unofficial town historian and also the volunteer librarian. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all things nautical and his house could be considered a mini-museum in its own right.
§3,000

Notes

Misconceptions

Barnacle bay cost ea support

EA technical support guesses at 1650 SimPoints.

  • A French gaming site reported that it would cost 600 SimPoints (roughly €6)[8] and a Q&A interview on IGN reported that it was 1650, though that information was later removed from the article.[4] An EA technical support representative mentioned 1650 as well, but stated that it was not certain, as shown in the image on the right.
  • In an IGN interview with EA they refer to Barnacle Bay as an "expansion", though this term is incorrect, as it is merely a downloadable world similar to Riverview[4]

Trivia

  • Like Twinbrook, all deceased Sims have grey hair and green skin.
  • On 1 January 2011 Barnacle Bay was the daily deal from The Sims 3 Store and was discounted to 1111 SimPoints. On 22 May 2011 it was the daily deal again and was discounted to 1050 SimPoints.
  • There are 2 repairwomen and 2 elderly social workers, and many more NPCs with different life stages from other games.
  • Barnacle Bay was also released in stores, costing $14. The box contains a slip with a code that players can use at The Sims 3 Store to download the town and two sets.[9]
  • The graveyards on Barnacle Bay don't have ponds. Deathfish are found at the large beach across from the art galley beside the pier posts.
  • Although The Sims 3 Store states that it needs the latest update, Barnacle Bay will work on The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff (Version 5.0) and later Sims 3 games. But The Sims 3 Ambitions and prior games will need to be updated.
  • In an episode of The Simpsons, "The Wife Aquatic", the Simpson family take a trip to an island in New England called Barnacle Bay.
