CAPE ALBACORE WORLD COLLABORATION BUILDS, Sep 2023 - Feb 2024
A community build project hosted by soocoolsim , Hidehi2 and myself. It's a lovely and serene coastal town inspired by Cape Cod, Nantucket Island and Martha's Vineyard in the United States. World built by Hidehi and builds done by the community. This post features the builds that I contributed to this project.
***Builds are listed in descending chronological order.***
A small community of homes with lots of amenities for residents. Includes an indoor pool, game room, laundry room, gym, party room, library with computers, a movie theater, playground, soccer field and a community garden. Choose to live in one of two furnished homes, rest are NPC homes. Shells and landscaping done by soocoolsim , interiors by myself.
Get married under the gazebo in the day or at night, and you'll be sure to have the perfect photographs with the beautiful ocean or starlit skies as your backdrop. You can even customize your wedding colors. Covered reception area with buffet food, chocolate tasting, drinks and dancing. You can also visit the Arboretum to hunt for fairies or just take a tour.

A roller coaster park with lots of fun activities for the whole family, including a carousel, rock climbing walls, a playground, a lighthouse and much more.
A great secluded beach home for a family who loves the water. Built for Cape Albacore at 10 Skipjack Tuna Trail. Features a great room with a fireplace nd awesome ocean views, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, laundry, loft area, balconies, bike shed and a large deck with a fishing pier and a boat dock with two boats.

Hungry for seafood? Then this is the place to eat to experience all of our shellfish creations. Grab a quick bite at the front counter or have a seat in the dining room and order from our chef's menu. Feast your eyes on our giant aquarium, the ocean wall mural and the fabulous views from inside the restaurant and outdoors on our two patio decks.
The Oyster Pearl Poolside Club is the happenin’ place in Cape Albacore where you can dance, eat, drink and swim until the wee hours of the morning. There are two hot tubs and two pools for you to enjoy, featuring a swim-up bar, a diving board, a slide and a waterfall. Dance to your heart’s content on one of the two dance floors, each with cool lighting and special effects. Hang out in multiple seating areas – dining tables, lounge chairs, private cabanas, or the rooftop deck where you can sit by the fire or use the self-service bars. Other features include a bubble bar, a photo booth, a few arcade games, popcorn machine and stereo speakers mounted throughout. For your convenience, showers are provided in the restrooms. All plumbing is upgraded.
Charming historical boutique hotel built for your simmies to enjoy. Basement resort towers and 9 private guest rooms, each uniquely decorated in period-style furnishings, plus patios, bar, buffet restaurant, library, fitness center, pool, hot tub and horseshoes. Inspiration for this hotel came from several different real hotels located on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. :) AND, yay Me....I only used 2 items from the store, a very rare thing in my builds, haha!
This family home has 4 bedrooms (primary, nursery, boy and teen girl), 3 full baths, 2 half baths (one in garage), small office, butler's pantry with wine storage, laundry/mud room, large 2-car garage, open concept on main floor, a family room on 2nd floor that's open to the below floor, pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and play area.
Not your typical looking disco, but this is what I would imagine one to look like in a coastal town setting. This small town disco club is just the place for party goers to escape to for dancing, drinking or playing games. You’ll most likely be greeted by a bouncer at the door at this two level establishment located on The Strand in Cape Albacore. There are two professional bars, two self-service beer kegs, billiards, darts, arcade games, a bubble bar, a dance floor with special effects and public restrooms. When the weather is nice, sims can head to the outdoor patio and grab some beer, play some music or sit around the fire pit. Free parking and bike racks available for your convenience. Plumbing is upgraded.
This charming family home sits near the main lighthouse in Cape Albacore. It features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus a powder room, an open concept main living space, a fireplace, a screened-in porch, a game room, a mudroom and a cozy den on the 3rd level. Sims will enjoy spending time outside in the beautiful backyard with all the flowers, a green house, a covered gazebo to paint in and a children’s play area. There are also multiple balconies to take in the beautiful scenery. Everything is upgraded. (Note: this house contains quite a bit of store content, including the SwiftGro Gardening Station.)
Running low on gas? Need some food for your tummy? If so, stop by our downtown location for a pit stop to ‘fill-er up’. Besides car service, you can order food from the counter to eat in or grab some snacks or drinks from our vending machines and snack counter. The popcorn machine is always filled up with freshly popped popcorn! Feel free to play a tune on the jukebox or browse our books and supplies. Visit our service garage to practice your car fixer upper skills. And if the mood strikes, you can also do some dumpster diving (no judging!). Public restrooms are conveniently located outside. Plumbing is upgraded.
Red Lantern Lookout was an old lighthouse that had a small one-story home attached that was in disrepair and had only one bedroom. The property was recently purchased and has undergone a massive renovation with a second story added on and updated with a modernized style.
The lighthouse section now contains family spaces, which consists of the dining room on the main floor, a reading nook on the 2nd floor and an art studio on the top floor. The top deck of the lighthouse boasts magnificent views and includes a telescope.
On the main floor, you’re welcomed to a spacious sitting room that’s open to the kitchen and family room, with great views of the water. Also on this floor is the dining room (in the lighthouse), a kitchen pantry and a powder room.
The new 2nd floor features a reading nook (in the lighthouse), the primary en-suite bedroom, two children’s bedrooms (one for a boy and one for a girl) with a jack and jill bathroom, and a laundry room.
This property is a fisherman’s paradise. Besides fishing, the new boat dock contains various watercrafts and a pier for lounging. Also outdoors, you’ll find a fire pit, a swing set, an outdoor shower, a fish cleaning station and two bicycles. The old, detached workshop has been converted to a home gym and entertainment space. Everything is upgraded.
FYI—You'll need to have the Sky High Roller Coaster set installed for it look right, as I used the coaster supports on my lighthouse.
This charming two-story 2 bedroom/1 and half bath home is my first contribution to the Cape Albacore collaboration. It’s located at the end of a quiet street and overlooks the ocean. It features a primary bedroom, a guest bedroom, a bonus room furnished as an art studio (but can easily be converted to a bedroom), a usable window seat at the top of the stair landing, a laundry room, a pool, an outdoor shower, a patio deck with outdoor dining and BBQ, a garden area, and a detached one-car garage. Everything is upgraded. Enjoy those views!!!
