Riverview

Riverview is a free downloadable city offered from The Sims 3 store. The town was developed by Visceral Games.

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 NPCs. There will also be a few "old" faces from The Sims 2 in Riverview.
