IGN has posted a Q&A with EA about Barnacle Bay, the new town that will be made available on The Sims 3 Store (though they seem to think it’s a full-on expansion pack as they’ve created a game page for it and everything):
IGN: What kind of loot will you be able to find?
EA: There are hidden insects, fish, gem and mineral spawners all over the island for explorer Sims to find. There is even a secret Pirate’s Hideaway, but I’m not telling you where it is. You have to explore the island to find it yourself.
The article also confirms a release date of September 23rd.
