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 areas of SimNation. When the neighborhood is first played, every house except for the Greenman family is in the midst of winter under heavy snow. Also, seasonal progression in Riverblossom Hills is set to Winter, Spring, Autumn/Fall, Winter.

Interestingly, every 'ancestral' Sim in the neighborhood is resurrectable. Unusually, all living Sims have positive memories for bad events such as relatives dying.

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)

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 and why many families from Riverview are present in Pleasantview.
