Moonlight Bay


Name	Moonlight Bay
Game	The Sims 3 (console)

Onomatology

Not to be confused with Moonlight Falls.

Moonlight Bay is a pre-made neighborhood that shipped with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of The Sims 3.^[1] The Wii version uses a beach town known as Vista Beach^[2] and the Nintendo DS version uses a separate neighborhood known as Beacon Bay. The neighborhood's name may be a pun on Sunset Valley. Although there are many families, only six are playable (excluding the families in the family bin), and only eight out of fifteen lots in the neighborhood can be lived in. It is possible to play as the other Sims by asking them to move in or by marrying them, but they can only live in the same house as the player.
