[[File:The-sims-3-barnacle-bay-20100831100628287.jpg|thumb|250px|A view of Barnacle Bay]]'''''[[Barnacle Bay]]''''' is a downloadable [[world]] from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]'', released on September 23, 2010. Prior to release, the price tag was announced as 1650 [[SimPoint]]s; this was increased to 2000 SimPoints after release. As of May 2012, Barnacle Bay can no longer be purchased with SimPoints, and instead is included with a $20 bundle that includes various other content. The world was also included with ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]'' if the player pre-ordered the game on [[Origin]].
'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
 
She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do [[laundry]], tend to a [[garden]], socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking [[skeleton]], any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be [[tense]] in her presence. In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
Barnacle Bay shares a deep and rich connection with the ocean, being first settled by pirates. It has since grown into a vacation destination, populated with beaches, parks, and a modern downtown area. Sims can explore the [[pirate ship]], go [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|fishing]], or tour the abandoned piers by the beach. The world also includes a unique [[diner]] [[rabbit hole]] named "Hogan's Deep Sea Diner", a nod to the regular "Hogan's Deep Fried Diner".
 
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby [[Bar (object)|bar]], [[sink]] or [[refrigerator]] when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the [[Grim Reaper]], and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}.
The world is well known for being the home of the [[Caliente household|Caliente sisters]], who moved to Barnacle Bay following the events of [[Pleasantview]]. They share a house with [[Luisa Libros]], and all three are romantically involved with [[Alec Trebo]], [[Jeff Smith]], and [[Juan Jr Inkbeard]].
 
Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}, or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
