Sims

 * 57 new Sims and over 25 NPCs including familiar faces and pirates

Misconceptions

 * A French gaming site reported that it would cost 600 SimPoints (roughly €6) and a Q&A interview on IGN reported that it was 1650, though that information was later removed from the article . An EA technical support representative mentioned 1650 as well, but stated that it was not certain, as shown in the image on the right.
 * In an IGN interview with EA they refer to Barnacle Bay as an "expansion", though this term is incorrect as it is merely a downloadable neighborhood similar to Riverview

Trivia

 * Like Twinbrook, all deceased Sims have grey hair and green skin.
