About this game

Are you looking for adventure? The Sims folks have done it again with The Sims 3: Barnacle Bay for your PC. Make your trip to Booty Bay one to remember with the scurviest pirates to ever sail the Seven Seas. Come by for a visit, and stay for the grog and the beauties to be found along the sandy shores of Barnacle Beach. Take the steps to pirating greatness in your very own buccaneer’s costume, and grab a plate of Hardtack that’ll stick to your bones at Hogan’s Deep Sea Diner. Watch the sun sink over the horizon while you catch yourself a few fish at Ophelia’s Fishing Hole. This expansion isn’t for the lily-livered Sim; it holds adventure and relics never seen before, not even by the likes of Davey Jones. Send your Sims out treasure hunting and bring back the buried gold. Take a peg leg over to the sandy adventure of a lifetime. Or spend your day using the new pirate-themed architecture to bring home the salty life you’ve always dreamed of at your Sim-ple home. But watch yourselves mateys: only the most fearless of Sims can live the life of a pirate.
