What a great idea for a UK seaside pack. As a Geordie, my maternal family is from the North East coast and it was one of my favourite places to go as a child with the fairground (or the Shows as we call it) fish and chips and a proper ice cream parlour where my mother had her school holiday job ❤️.
The most beautiful beach for me is a little further up the coast in Bamburgh and I'm looking forward to the new Medieval Kit arriving in a few months to redevelop the Crumbling Isle in Windenburg in that style. It's less commercial but unspoiled and absolutely beautiful.
I haven't been to Cornwall but it does look beautiful on Beyond Paradise which is set in Devon but filmed in Cornwall. I also love Whitby which is an interesting one because of the Dracula connection. I love it there but it always had that mysterious and eery feeling as a child with a vampire phobia! Somewhere like our incredible Jurassic Coastline would have interesting implications for pack content too because I love fossil collecting with my Sims.
Some of these features you suggest are similar to Island Living items so it can be done, just differently with a new theme and a little less sunshine (though we're in a heatwave right now 🥵). I'd love surfing, in Sims 2 we had a surfing machine that was fun.
The only world we have that could kind of be used with a suitable climate and appearance in the meantime is Brindleton Bay from Cat's and Dogs but I had an attempt there and the stray pets spoiled it sadly.
Your idea of foraging for wild garlic made me smile! That's a few childhood Sundays spent foraging for wild garlic, blackberries and elderberries. I used to complain every time because wild garlic doesn't really take much finding as the smell leads you straight to it. I preferred the seaside trips!
Cottage Living is based on our UK countryside where I am now but I'd love to see our seaside represented too. Ooh, seaside illuminations would be cool too.
