Beacon Bay

Beacon Bay is a neighborhood that was shipped with The Sims 3 for Nintendo DS. The 360/PS3 versions use a neighborhood known as Moonlight Bay while the Wii version uses a beach town called Vista Beach.

Setting
Before Pleasantview, there was Beacon Bay, founded by the Landgraabs to be a quiet, peaceful town. If this line sounds familiar, some familiar faces should both elucidate and confuse.
