BARNACLESS BAY CAW FILES by technicallyswagpizza

"A storm swept through the island, it ravaged for what felt like weeks and it was so fierce it completely erased part of the island! Now there is nothing else left but sand! And it's everywhere! Even in my ears!"

I always liked the idea of a remote farm type island where the folks living there still haven't heard about Gangam Style or paywalled CC, but I felt that the original Barnacle Bay is just too dysfunctional to play. It has good bones and I really wanted to make it work, but after chipping away at it on and off for almost a year I have come to a point that now whenever I open it in CAW I just don't know what to do with it and feel like I should go play in the traffic instead. Maybe I will finish it one day, but since I'm just sitting on these files I figured perhaps someone else wants to give it a go and make it your own. Change it completely, keep it as it is, share it, lock it in your basement, you do what you got to do to tame it.

These are the CAW files only, I have not play tested the world as it is very much work in progress thus there is no point releasing it in the state it is.

CHANGELOG

  • Standalone world, it will not replace Barnacle Bay.
  • A good chunk of the map is gone, I also ran the coastal parts of the map through World Machine to make it feel more realistic, thus all the sand everywhere.
  • Deleted a fair few lots completely.
  • Emptied majority of the lots, however I left some of the original lots in because I had a plan, but I forgot what it was.
  • Reduced the amount of spawners, there's at least one or two each rather than 3-5.
  • Added and removed some roads.
  • Replaced all the palm trees with Red Oaks from Ambitions exp.
  • Added shrubs around the fields

// There's not THAT much to do, but things you may want to fix:

  • Bumpy ridiculous roads (-᷅_-᷄๑)
  • Sort out the mess I made with the town centre layout
  • Double check routing, I'm fairly sure I started working on that but it's been so long I can't remember if I finished it completely.
  • None of the lots have addresses.
  • Waterfall looks ok in CAW but in game uh, idk. It looks like farts.

What you need: Maybe the original Barnacle Bay? I'm not sure, if you don't have it then the random CAW items/remaining lots that got stuff in them will get replaced by something else. I'm not sure if there are any BB items left though... I did swap the bridge and idk beachy barrier thing with something else. I don't remember which expansion they came from though. I'M REALLY GOOD AT THIS I PROMISE (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.)

Let me know if the CAW files do not work, I don't think I have ever shared my raw CAW projects before so yeah. I included all the terrain paint .dds texture files just in case you want to paint stuff.

Apparently I cannot actually play the game like any normal simmer would, I continue causing myself a headache by editing worlds instead ಥ‿ಥ I started poking around with Barnacle Bay last year as I wanted a cheerful farm-y type map and it has now turned into a Barnacless Bay. I'd like to think there was a big storm that just wrecked the island and that's why it's full of sand now. Even with a good chunk of the map gone, I think this will be a forever wip because I don't think I can build 60 new houses..

DINER GROCERY COMBO RECOLOUR by technicallyswagpizza

Probably one of the easiest on the eye colour schemes EA has ever come up with, but I still disliked it enough so here she is all nice and grey. I also replaced the posters on the windows with something less offensive to the eyes! Sam's Market Diner has been relaunched and rebranded as Village Shop and Grill, because Sam got trapped in the pool and has unfortunately passed away. Oh no! Anyway.

  • Base game compatible, the original rabbithole is from Supernatural expansion.
  • NOT a default replacement, if you for whatever reason enjoy the horror that is the original.

Because I'm a lazy bozo I took all the screenshots for my rabbithole recolours months ago and at the time I forgot to pull my lighting mod out + my Reshade was on while taking the picture above, so uh, what you see here is _almost_ what you get as my Reshade preset is not particularly strong ⁽ ˘ ˑ ˘ ⁾

FORTUNE TELLER WAGON RECOLOUR by technicallyswagpizza

EA Rabbitholes and their awful colours have always irked me so so so much: Nothing matches, it feels like every day is a bad day to have a set of eyes when you happen to gaze upon the horrors that are EA colour schemes. But that is no more! Rejoice, for your eyes no longer burn!

  • NOT Base game compatible, as the wagon is used for Supernatural fortune teller career so you need Supernatural expac for this.
  • NOT a default replacement, if you for whatever reason enjoy the horror that is the original.

Right-o folks, if you downloaded Kaihola previously and had issues with the lots not showing up properly (or that they are very much missing) please redownload! Both mediafire and simfileshare now has updated Kaiholafullbuild.rars in them, so if installing world files via launcher as sims3packs is your jam, the stage is yours. I'd still recommend using the launcher bypass system though.
