Riverview

Riverview is a free downloadable town offered from The Sims 3 store. The town is being developed by Visceral Games (Formerly known as EA Redwood Shores) due to the closing of EA Black Box.

As The Sims 3 was pirated online before its official release (which is unable to download Riverview from the official website), Riverview became an advertising focus of the game's official release.

Official Descriptions

 * Small town with an idyllic countryside setting. It’s dotted with farms, beautiful pastures and nestled by a winding river. This sleepy little town comes with an entirely new set of inhabitants with secrets for your Sims to uncover.


 * Completely new neighborhood with 60+ complete new NPC's. There will also be a few "old" faces from The Sims 2 in Riverview.

The Families

 * The The Jones Family
 * Who are these uninvited house guests? A frightened man and a frightened woman are shown surrounded by two ghosts, one a child and the other a man. The child is playing with a teddy bear. Hannah Jones and her husband, Aiden, recently moved into the Remington house (you know, the scary house on the hill from many a dark tale). The previous occupants, Hanna’s cousins, were victims of a long string of unfortunate events, leaving Hanna the only living relative to inherit the beautiful, albeit strangely built, mansion. One of the Jones’s biggest problems is that the previous occupants are still busy occupying!


 * The Carpenter-Rhodes Family
 * Just what are the Carpenters growing? The Carpenter are shown in their yard tending to their garden.


 * The Bagley Family
 * What will Ma Bagley and her brood steal next? Ma Bagley appears to have the insane or evil trait, because her evil cackle. She is shown with her two children.


 * The Lothario Family
 * And just who is this town's newest Casanova? Don Lothario from Pleasantview featured in The Sims 2 is shown. From his entrance it seems that he teleported into Riverview.


 * The Newbie Family
 * Robert and Mags Newbie moved to Riverview along with their teenage son, Bob. Bob had a hard time adjusting to the move, but he’s found a new best friend to occupy his time.:The Newbie Family appears with Mags and Robert Newbie like adults and Bob, a teen.

 * The Lin Family
 * The Lin sisters don’t get along and are both very stubborn. When they inherited their parents’ old house, the only thing they could agree on is that they would each get their own half. They went about remodeling their halves without consulting each other which resulted in quite an… aesthetically interesting design.The Two Lin Sister are Stubborn and decided after to have inherited their parents'old house, remodeling their own half of the house.


 * The Shallow Family
 * The cold and callous Shallow family may be pleasing to the eye, but I don’t know if there is a house big enough to actually hold all of their egos.


 * The Grisby Family
 * The Grisby’s, on the other hand, are kind, loving and happy, but tend to be the butt of everyone’s jokes due to their rather “unique” assets.


 * The Cottoneye Family
 * Who is Hunter hiding from? Hunter is shown in a military outfit in military-type surroundings. From the way he acts it seems he has the paranoid trait.


 * The Perkins Family
