Riverview

Riverview is:
 * 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.
 * Completely new neighborhood with 60+ complete new NPC's. There will also be a few "old" faces from The Sims 2 in the Riverview, however, it is unknown if the story is a prequel or sequel to the previous games.
 * 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. The Town's relief map seems to be inspired from Paris in France with the difference that Riverview is more rural that the latter.



The Story

 * "Along the banks of the Simomon River lies the sleepy town of Riverview. Many have moved to this serene little town to escape the clamor of city life. Will the current residents let the newcomers in on the town’s little secrets or will they do their best to keep their dirt from being unearthed?"

 * A frightened man and a frightened woman are shown surrounded by two ghosts, one a toddler and the other a man. The toddler is playing with a teddy bear. It is unclear, but it is also possible that the toddler is a child. We do not see enough to know for sure.

 * Ma Bagley appears to have the insane or evil trait, because of the way she cackles evil. She is shown with her two children.
