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."
