Gothic Seaside Holiday and Carnival

Lets face it, the sims franchise has always been a bit goth friendly, and it's about time there was a gothy holiday location.

Something cute and gloomy. A seaside holiday location, where you can go swimming, but the water is cold, you can lay on the beach, but it's all gravel, where there is a creepy carnival on a pier above the waves. It's a sleepy little town, with a couple of B&Bs, and a quirky hotel.

Remember the beaches of Midnight Hollow?

Maybe you could go for a ride in a sad swan boat. It may leak a little, but only your feet will get wet.

Perhaps some new swimsuits could be included

There could be beach chairs to keep you off the gravel

With umbrellas to keep the... rain off

I'm thinking of a world that is a cross between Penzance (with it's infamous pirates), Brighton (with it's pier and carnival), and Whitby Goth Weekend (goths at the seaside)

Did I mention pirates?
It's gotta have a pirate cove, where the pirates stop for a spot of tea.

Not everyone is into tropical beaches. Some of us want tea beside the sea... side. And parasols, not that the sun is often out.

    This really would be the pack to add some dark carnival elements.

    Why it cant be a gothic amusement park?


    Because the idea is for a Gothic carnival, not an amusement park. :p

    Yar, that was me you were replying to on that thread.


    I was wanting a pirate cove, in the theme of the pirates of penzance, rather than a pirate themed amusement park. I want the carnival to be classic, but old, and creepy.

    With a classic carousel,
    https://lunapark.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/carousel-hero2.jpg
    (ive been on this one :D )

    a ferris wheel
    https://www.sbfrides.com/docSBF/images/CATEGORIES/FERRIS_WHEELS/FANTASY%20WHEEL%20(716)_395.jpg

    A helter skelter
    https://www.poplarattractions.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/helter-skelter2.jpg

    A swing ride
    http://bestonamusementequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wave-swinger-carnival-rides-for-sale-cheap.jpg

    A ghost train ride
    https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/18ec1c68feeee18f7581c6f2ffdb9f34?width=650

    Maybe a swing ship ride
    http://tmal4105.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/8/4/26847533/7369666_orig.jpg

    Maybe a bone rattler vintage roller coaster
    http://www.fabulous-femme.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/lunapark019.jpg
    This one is over 100 years old. I've been on it, it left me with bruises.
    https://d2domdq7ihvuen.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/1916-scenicrailway.jpg

    A main roller coaster could be a fixed item, not something you can move or edit, just a thing that goes around the outer edge of the carnival/pier.

    Maybe a 'safe' child/toddler roller coaster
    http://www.newridesforsale.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/fruit-worm-mini-roller-coaster.jpg


    And all of it on a pier, over the sea, for added creepiness.

    Now there's an idea!

    The ghostly ruins of a theme park, high on a cliff top, overlooking the pier.

    We can thank Chernobyl for the inspiring images.



    I enjoy your ideas about it. Maybe it could be more then a Game Pack if they added Magicians and Acrobats + some new things...
    Fortunetellers... The Sims 1 Circus career would fit really well too...
    This is very much the direction my thoughts have been going.
    Perhaps there could be a big top at the centre of the carnival.

    I would so get that. I mean not just something for my goth sims and the fact it is a beach world; but a world that my Vampires can go to (they need vacations too(. I had to have a mod to keep my vampires from burning to death just so they can go out and do things, otherwise they would be very limited.

    AHAHAHAAHHAHA SORREEEEEY
    i forgot you username and was busy to take a look.
    ...
    About the amusement park/carnival, i am sorry again.
    I am not used to talk in english, for me amusement parks was about everything related to roller coaster and other ride stuff,
    Carnival was what i had in mind all the time, cuz i dont think an actual Theme Park would work in any Sims game. Everything would be empty as a ghost amusement park hehe
    I enjoy your ideas about it. Maybe it could be more then a Game Pack if they added Magicians and Acrobats + some new things...
    Fortunetellers... The Sims 1 Circus career would fit really well too...
    Edit: Maybe Casinos?! Like the ones from Lucky Palms, but instead of a robot, a skeleton!
