Pirate Venue! (Now a Petition! 31 sigs & counting!)

Okay so you didn't love my Arabian Nights idea as much as I do... *cries* But...who doesn't love PIRATES??? Cinderellimouse posted these awesome pics from TS2...
And another Simmer (can't find the post now darn it!) talked about how they revamp Barnacle Bay into a Pirates of the Caribbean type world using the Rococo Set...
...which got me to thinking...
WE NEED A PIRATE VENUE!!!!
VENUE SPECIFICS
The lot itself needs to be a pirate ship with clime-able rigging, a crow's nest, captain's cabin (another all-in-one bathroom that looks appropriate would be great)and a "mess hall" type kitchen for the crew. "Below decks" should have an area for "cargo" and bunk beds to sleep at least 6 Sims so you can have your max 8 Sims living on the lot. Yes, I want this to be residential! Ideally, I'd like this lot placeable in water with a ladder on the side so your Sims can climb up to the deck. But as I realize that COULD be problematic it would also work just as well as a beach lot with a dock the ship itself is "attached" to. This would not have to be an Island Paradise type dock nor does the ship itself need to be able to sail... though that, of course, would be AMAZING! LOL
Do please make ship sails part of the build/buy content so people who make "pirate ship" houseboats can make them look better though! LOL
POTENTIAL PC
Sword fighting! This would work just as martial art sparring does in WA. And while you COULD create a training dummy to advance the skill I would prefer to see skilling attached to the sword itself. This would be an item your Sim keeps in their inventory and when clicked upon it would give you a "practice sword fighting" option, at which point your Sim would brandish the sword about and practice various fighting stances and thrusts and parries. When clicking on another Sim with the skill you would then have a "Sword fight!" option. No death necessary (though oh how I WISH there could be a "duel to the death!" option! LOL) as the bout would just be to "first touch" and the losing Sim could go down on their knees in surrender. As for the sword itself, I would like there to be 3 options: cutlass, rapier and short sword. They could all work exactly the same, the only difference would be looks. If we CAN'T have that option then a short sword would be best as it would also look neat on Tudor Sims.
Spyglass. This would be another item that Sims can put in their inventory and use to see "far away". What it would ACTUALLY do is allow them to see gems, much as the LTR collection helper does. It could have 2 options, one being "look through" kinda like the telescope and then your Sim would simply have a cute animation of using the spy glass and the other would be, "look for treasure" which would show them where any gems in the area are.
Parrot/parrot perch: Now this could work one of 2 ways. It could either be something extremely simple like this:
This is option 1.
OR it would be something like JUST the hanging part from this perch that we could then hang just as we do hanging plants.
This is option 2.
Even better if you gave us both! And hey, if you just wanted to break down and give us the whole pirate perch on the left, I won't complain! The problem with the existing one from Pets is that it's just too bulky and would not look at all right on a pirate ship...and we gotta have parrots on a pirate ship!
Now I KNOW... "But...but...PETS EP!"... HOWEVER, we DO have dog beds and feeders in The Store so I don't see how this is a big no-no! It would be a pretty minor addition to the Venue anyway so those who don't play with Pets wouldn't have much to complain about. OR.... you could actually give us not only a perch but a PC PARROT just for this venue! You could easily clone it from the baby dragons from DV and it wouldn't actually have to do anything except have our Sims interact with it and possibly get a new positive moodlet of some sort. But it would need it's own perch! No parrots on the floor!
Pet Monkey! Yes, this would be a lot harder to implement but it would be pretty darned AWESOME!
Grog dispenser. This would, of course, dispense "grog" and hopefully give Sims something like the "juiced" moodlet.
Cannon. Yes, a cannon our Sims can actually fire.
DECOR'
coils of rope
net full of fish
piles of treasure
treasure chests, one large that sits on the floor and one small that sits on a table and has jewelry spilling out of it.
skull with flickering candle
treasure maps, both for laying on tables AND for hanging on walls
sextant
compass
kracken figurine (small size suitable for placing on a small table or nightstand)
TAPESTRIES depicting sailing motifs...and maybe a lovely mermaid!
Skull and crossbones banners and flags. (A bed with a big skull and crossbones bedspread would be pretty awesome too!)
CAS
eye patch
Pirate boots (that are taller than those currently available both for male and female)
peg leg (this would replace one of the pirate boots, above)
A single small and large hoop earring for men
"piece of eight" jewelry for men and women (this would be a necklace with a large coin for the pendant)
Pirate outfits and hairstyles for both men and women (LONGER styles would be great! Just sayin'!), please see pics scattered throughout this thread.
Noble outfits (17th century/Rococo) for both men and women with hairstyles a bit smaller than those offered with the previous Rococo set. Again, please see pics scattered throughout this thread.
Yes, I WANT THAT SHIP FROM TS2!!!! And I want more 18th century clothing and hairstyles for both pirates and aristocrats! Give us the Pirate goodies from Pirates & Nobles! At least some decor'!!!
So... stuff like this....
So.... PIRATES? Who's with me? YAAAARRRRR! lol

...but I'd still buy it in a heartbeat!
I love pirate stuff!
Showcase
I LOVE the idea of Pirate themed items, but it would definitely need to include female pirate clothing as well as the fancy type Aristocratic clothing for both genders. I think the we NEED more toddler, child, elder options also, for all the sets really.
Amby
Sign me in here for wanting one!
Piles of treasure & sparkly stuff, & everything else!
All I could find was this:

I want!
*grabby hands*
18th century/1700's. One of my favorite eras!
Eveebella
I think it just became one! LOL
Oh that's so NOT FAIR! I want these!!!!
(only posting in case anyone can't see links)
:shock: These are all so...steamy.
...
I wish I knew that this stuff was in the sims 2, sooner. I mean, how did I miss this? Also, what expansion was it in :?:

So I missed out too. Didn't get WA until later, never mind preorder.
BUUUUUUUUT... Now, that I know those pics aren't clip art and were in Sims 3 World Adventures pre-order, I'm a bit sad.

I would buy it in a minute.
Yes please! :-) Added to Petition Central
If we were to get some pirate CAS items maybe some of the attire could have a beautiful Steampunk style to it
I would LOVE some fishnet suspenders!(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Thank you doll! You rock!
