- Not to be confused with Moonlight Falls.
Moonlight Bay is a pre-made neighborhood that shipped with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of The Sims 3.[1] The Wii version uses a beach town known as Vista Beach[2] and the Nintendo DS version uses a separate neighborhood known as Beacon Bay. The neighborhood's name may be a pun on Sunset Valley. Although there are many families, only six are playable (excluding the families in the family bin), and only eight out of fifteen lots in the neighborhood can be lived in. It is possible to play as the other Sims by asking them to move in or by marrying them, but they can only live in the same house as the player.
Overview[]
Moonlight Bay is a small coastal town surrounded on three sides by mountains. Like Sunset Valley, Moonlight Bay mixes modern and futuristic building ideas with nostalgic architecture and design rooted in American suburbs of the 1950s. The town has its own school, police station, library, art gallery, movie theatre and stadium. There are no empty lots when the game is first played. Most rabbit holes are located in the centre of town, with another commercial district in the north west. Residential lots come in three sizes (small, medium and large). Landmarks include the beach, the waterfall and the lighthouse.
