Spookane is a spooky island, home to Goth Boy who lives in a house by the shore, Yuki in her gigantic abandoned castle, Zombie Carl in his swamp near the graveyard, and Morcubus who resides in his manor. Grandma Ruthie also opens a cookie shop on the island, selling her cookies and hoping for successful business. Violet Nightshade used to live in Spookane, but missed her little sister Poppy, so she left to live with her on Cutopia. Violet occasionally regrets her actions and wished to move back before taking a liking to a tower in Cutopia that reminded her of Spookane.
Storyline
The Royal Wandolier, Lyndsay, and Buddy arrive on the island to discover it lives up to its namesake. It's a very spooky and dark island and Buddy is very aware of this, cowering in fear. Lyndsay urges him on and the group continues. After Buddy agrees to go forward, the group meets the resident known as Goth Boy. After Lyndsay introduces the Wandolier and Buddy to Goth Boy, he questions the purpose of the three's quest, wondering how helping people would be fun and explaining life has no meaning. Lyndsay is furious and sets out to prove Goth Boy wrong. He tells her of a special book inside the castle on the hill that towers above all of Spookane, and explains the castle belongs to the evil Morcubus, ruler of Spookane. He claims the book will tell them the meaning of life.
The Wandolier makes way towards the castle with Buddy, Lyndsay, and Goth Boy, only to run into a strange girl who jumps out of nowhere, and laughs maniacally. Goth Boy introduces the girl as Yuki. She screams at the Wandolier, Lyndsay, and Buddy, threatening to bite their faces and seems to have an attraction to Buddy, much to Buddy's chagrin. Yuki demands The Wandolier to bring her "shinies", or she will not let them pass. After doing so, The Wandolier moves on through Spookane, coming to a swamp and a locked gate blocking the way to the castle. Goth Boy wonders if Zombie Carl has the key, which he does. He introduces himself as the undead gate keeper, and refuses to hand over the key, unless the Wandolier can spruce up the swamp for him. After doing so, the Wandolier proceeds through the gate, past a cemetery on the hill, but is stopped by a giant billboard advertising cookies blocking the bridge. The Wandolier will then discover a cookie shop and meet the owner, Grandma Ruthie, who plans to sell her cookies on Spookane. She promises to take down her billboard if the Wandolier will help her with business. Goth Boy suggests making her cute cookie shop a bit more to the liking of Spookane's residents. After succeeding, Grandma Ruthie thanks the Wandolier and removes the billboard, allowing the group to continue onto the castle. Upon arrival, the Wandolier meets the dreaded and evil Morcubus, who refuses to let them into the castle. So with a bit of gear work, the Wandolier opens the gate with gears and takes the book.
Back at the shore, the Wandolier and Goth Boy find the book is completely blank. Goth Boy explains that must mean life really has no meaning at all. Lyndsay counters this by saying life is about helping people, showing Goth Boy about all the good things they did on Spookane: helping Yuki, Carl, and Ruthie. Goth Boy accepts this and claims he needs to go write some deep poetry and leaves for his house, ending the storyline.

Goth Boy's Lair
Goth Boy lives here. Yuki, Morcubus, Grandma Ruthie will sometimes visit.
Exterior
The lot where Goth Boy's lair is located is 15x15 small square planks.
Interior
The interior of Goth Boy's Lair is 18x16 small square planks. There are three rooms: two square and one rectangle. The front room is rectangular with a Television Screen, a Spooky Sofa, a Lounge Chair of Gloom, a Bookcase, and a Coffee Table with a Cow Skull. One square room has a Spooky Bed, a Counter, and Vampire Statue. The other square room is completely empty besides a Sarcophagus.
Haunted Ruins
This lot contains a castle in disrepair. The player must add stair and bridge pieces to collect all the shinies for Yuki here. After the storyline is complete, Yuki will spend most of her time here. There is no interior but there is a Castle Window.
Carl's Swamp
Zombie Carl lives here. The lot is 18x18 small square planks and starts off with just a watermill, five gravestones, and five mushrooms. The player must customize this area to receive the key to the Zombie Gate. This lot is not marked on the map, but is referred to as "Carl's swamp" during tasks and the "Swamp of Terror" by Morcubus during a cutscene.
Ruthie's Factory
Grandma Ruhtie lives here. Since Ruthie is new to Spookane and Violet recently moved to Cutopia, it is possible that Violet used to live here.
Exterior
The lot where Ruthie's Factory is located is 15x15 small square planks. It is a small house with gingerbread paint, reminiscent of the Witch's House in "Hansel and Gretel". The player must give it a spooky makeover for Ruthie to move her billboard.
Interior
The interior of Ruthie's Factory is 18x16 small square planks. The only indoor cutscene in Spookane occurs here.
Realm of Morcubus
This lot is 18x15 small square planks. It starts with four lockboxes and a windmill. Morcubus stands on the castle roof during cutscenes, but it isn't possible for any Sim to stand there in-game. Despite the presence of door in-game and the door shown on the map, there is no interior.
Trivia
- Spookane's name is likely a play on the American city of Spokane, Washington.
- There is a town that had the same name in Mother (also known as EarthBound Beginnings outside Japan), a Nintendo game released for the NES virtual console.
- In MySims Agents (Wii), Violet will mention Spookane and Cutopia if the player sends her on Marlon's second dispatch mission, Magical Disaster.
- The presence of an abandoned castle suggests that Spookane may have been ruled by royalty in the past, similar to Capital Island and Cutopia.
