You have to explore the island to find it yourself. There is even a secret Pirate's Hideaway, but I'm not telling you where it is. You can make your Swashbuckler Sims sound and look however you want! IGN: What kind of loot will you be able to find? EA: There are hidden insects, fish, gem and mineral spawners all over the island for explorer Sims to find. There is also Buccaneer's Bounty, a pirate-themed clothing and object set available in The Sims 3 Store. You can also create your very own pirate characters using the pirate-themed clothing and accessories that are included with Barnacle Bay. IGN: Will Simlish sound different for Pirate characters? EA: One of the great things about Create-a-Sim is that you can create a custom voice for any character. There are over 25 new NPCs to create your own story with. And Brian Adoyo, a scientist that uses food as examples when explaining scientific theories. My favorite is Roni Pepper (ha!), a slobby, scruffy pizza delivery guy with no sense of fashion.
YES NO EA: Barnacle Bay is full of some colorful NPCs. IGN: What are some of the new NPC Sims that are in Barnacle Bay? You might even come across a few pirates while exploring the island. There are quite a range of characters from Dude LaMer, a directionless surfer bum that can't get a second date with a girl, to Rose Rome, an elderly gypsy that has been seen rummaging through trash. I+didn't+even+know+ghost+pirates+could+get+sleepy! IGN: What are the new playable character(s) in this expansion? EA: There are over 50 new world Sims living in Barnacle Bay, most of which are brand new characters, but you might recognize some familiar faces. You can learn more about what the new add-on has to offer in the Q&A session below. Titled Barnacle Bay, the new area was once filled with scoundrels but is now a vacation getaway.īarnacle Bay will be available exclusively at The Sims 3 Store for a yet to be determined price point on September 23, 2010. EA has the Vampire-lovers covered with the upcoming Late Night expansion, so it makes sense that something pirate-themed would be coming, too. Hopefully EA will release a fix soon but in the meantime this should get you back in your game.Vampires and pirates have become more and more popular over the years and The Sims 3 has adapted to these trends by developing new content.
