Embark on a quest for booty in the upcoming expansion, "Barnacle Bay," for The Sims 3 -- er, wait, we're mixing up packs here! Rather: You'll get to explore a tropical paradise in the Barnacle Bay expansion pack, due this fall. Whether you decide to be a lowdown, dirty pirate on the hunt for treasure and grog, or a sightseeing tourist looking to soak up virtual sun, is up to you.

The Barnacle Bay area will be sold exclusively through The Sims 3 Store this fall. Within, you'll discover new locales such as Founder's Beach, Goldbeard Galleon Gallery and Pirate's Hideaway -- plus several other locations and NPCs that await your inner Magellan. The expansion pack will also include "nearly two dozen" new items.
