This is very much a companion piece to the Anchor Inn, although the original version of the house predated the pub by a couple of years. It’s been rebuilt twice since and lived in by several families of Sims. The layout’s stayed much the same throughout but the décor has changed, with the nautical/seaside theme becoming more pronounced over time as I’ve acquired more expansions and store content. It was originally built for 432 Tidal Terrace in Barnacle Bay but also fits well into several other worlds.

The house has a living room, kitchen-diner, study and shower room on the ground floor, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a nursery upstairs. The outbuilding houses a gym, sauna, art studio and all-in-one bathroom.

Price:
§196501 furnished, §95719 unfurnished


Content used

Expansions:
Seasons and Island Paradise were used extensively. There’s also a fair amount of stuff from Ambitions, Generations and University Life.

World Adventures, Late Night, Pets and Supernatural are optional – there are a few objects from each of these expansions but they could be replaced pretty easily or just omitted.

Showtime is somewhere in between – replacing the content would be a bit of a pain but doable.

Stuff packs:
There’s quite a lot from High End Loft, Outdoor Living, Town Life and Master Suite, with a single décor object from Fast Lane.

Free store content:
Cellar Arch
Weba Yayfoo!
Explorer’s Loot (WA registration set)
Slick Surfboard Sculpture from the discontinued Toyota Prius set. There are CC alternatives but they’re floor-standing rather than wall-mounted.
K2 Ivy from the discontinued Renault set (or you could replace it with the Ivy Tower from the Toyota set if you have that). Other climbing plants could also be substituted.

Other store content:
Barnacle Bay and the Nautical Living Set were used extensively and are probably required content for the furnished house. There are also several items from the Bayside Kitchen Set.

There are a few objects from Monte Vista (plants) and Sunlit Tides (curtain, flowers, sauna and massage table).

Other items:
Theo’s Contempo Dining Table
Haute Hip Curtain Collection V.1
Starburst Clock
Found Art Object #23
Surf’s Up Floor Lamp
Wave Under Glass End Table
India Inspired Bedroom – Eri Silk Drapes
Put Some Birds On It
Sherman the Shark

Optional CC:
I used the adult’s and child’s wellies from Around the Sims 3’s Rainy Day set (free content) in the porch.


Notes
  • The house plays well but switching between live and build/buy modes can be slow on less powerful computers (like my old one ). If this is a problem for you, try deleting some of the plants in the garden.
  • The piece of half-wall nearest to the full-height wall (between the kitchen and dining areas) has an annoying habit of changing colour now and again, at least in my game. Although it looks more like a lighting problem, it can easily be fixed in CASt by copying the stone across from one of the other sections.
  • I used my fix for the wall with trimmed border in this house but, because of the particular patterns used, it’s not essential.
