Riverblossom Hills

Riverblossom Hills is the pre-made neighborhood that is added to the game with the addition of The Sims 2: Seasons. Many of the lots have to do with concepts and additions from The Sims 2: Seasons. For example, many of the more expensive lots have greenhouses. Riverblossom Hills is in one of the more rural area of SimNation. When the neighborhood is first played, every house except for the Greenman family is in the midst of winter under heavy snow.

Interestingly, every 'ancestral' Sim in the neighborhood is resurrectable. Unusually though, all living sims have green memories for bad events such as relatives dying. This may just be a glitch.

The neighborhood's families seem to be based on those from Pleasantview, especially the Roth family (Goths), the Wan household (The Caliente sisters), Andrew and Jacob Martin (Dreamers), and the McGreggor household (Lotharios)

Roth family
This family seems to be based on Pleasantview's Goth family, as it consists of Morty Roth, his wife Stella, and their children Sandra and Xander.

Wan household
This house consists of roommates Patricia Wan and Cleo Shikibu.

Greenman family
The family consists of Jason Greenman, his wife (PlantSim Rose Greenman) and Rose's plantbaby Daisy.

Viejo household
This household belongs to Catherine Viejo, her best friend Betty Goldstein, and roommates Andrew Martin and his son Jacob.

McGreggor family
Farmer Leod McGreggor lives almost completely alone: no family and almost no friends.

O'Mackey family
Alexandra O'Mackey left her husband Gabe and daughter Jules to become a "Dread Pirate."

Ramaswami family
A married couple (Sanjay Ramaswami and Priya Ramaswami) doesn't know where to live.

"Sanjay and Priya are ready to settle down and start their life together! Will they settle in the beautiful town of Riverblossom Hills or find a new place to make their happy home?"

Ottomas family
A big family of six of Peter Ottomas, Dora Ottomas, Samantha Ottomas, David Ottomas, Sharla Ottomas, and Tommy Ottomas. The mom, Samantha Ottomas, is pregnant with twins when this family is first played.

"Large families have a lot of love to share, but also require a lot of work - especially with more children on the way! Will grandma's help be enough to keep this family strong?"

The Ramaswami and Ottomas families appear in the family bin for all neighborhoods

Relation to Riverview
In The Sims 3, a town called Riverview is available for download from TheSims3.com. One of the streets is named "Riverblossom Hills Drive" and it also has the country/farm effect that Riverblossom Hills had. However, no Sims from Riverblossom Hills make an appearance. It is possible that Riverblossom Hills used to be Riverview, just as Pleasantview used to be Sunset Valley. The description of Riverblossom Hills says that many Sims have relocated from their hometowns and moved there, which may, at least in part, explain why there are no Sims from Riverblossom Hills living in Riverview.
