Misconceptions
EA technical support guesses at 1650 SimPoints.
- A French gaming site reported that it would cost only 600 SimPoints (roughly €6)[6] and a Q&A interview on IGN reported that it was 1650, though that information was later removed from the article[2]. 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 downloable neighborhood similar to Riverview[2]
