    • <3
      I want something like the Brighton Pier.

      http://www.welovebrighton.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Brighton-Beach-Header2.jpg



      Oysters - Rockefeller, On the Half Shell
      Also known as camel snott.


      Seafood Boils - Should have been in the Base Game considering the initial neighborhood
      Sounds like a nasty illness.


      Jerk Chicken with Red Beans and Rice
      Mind your language.

      Poke
      Sea creatures with a stick.

      How about some cucumber sandwiches with salmon mousse?


      Beach Towels
      Never leave home without a towel!


      Striped Beach Changing Cabana Tents

      Tents?
      No, change rooms
      https://www.webjet.com.au/travel/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/best-beaches-in-melbourne.jpg


      Surfing & Water Boarding
      *raises eyebrow*


      Horseback riding on the beach and Horse Barns

      Nice idea, but don't you mean stables? Cows live in barns, horses live in stables.
      Though cow rides a long the beach could be interesting.


      The Hang Loose Gesture as a greeting from the Natives (See Sims 2)

      I don't think that one is common among the natives of Brighton.


      btw, Brighton isn't far from Penzance, making it perfectly appropriate for there to be pirates.

      The rest was snark so I quite rightly, ignored it
      wut?
      No.
      Well.. ok the Oyster part was, cos those things look like camel snott. Yick.

      But the rest was pretty much about:

      BRIGHTON!!!!
      http://www.welovebrighton.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Brighton-Beach-Header2.jpg

      Isn't it pretty?
      I'm in love with the idea of a carnival on a pier in TS4. And with an uncomfortably rocky beach.

      And you did mention Pirates? Didn't you? Well, Penzance is just down the coast from Brighton. (You have heard of the Pirates of Penzance? Who hasn't?)

      It's pretty snarky if you chose to ignore that!
