[[File:Riverview Reflect.png|left]]'''Riverview''' is a free downloadable town offered from ''[[The Sims 3]]'' store. The town was developed by Visceral Games, and is a gift for people who register their copy of ''The Sims 3''. It was the first town made available for download, and is currently the only free downloadable town. It initially served as an incentive for players to purchase, rather than pirate, their copy of ''The Sims 3'', as pirated versions are unable to download Riverview from [[TheSims3.com]]. However, this upside no longer applies, due to more recent pirated versions of ''The Sims 3'' come included with ''The Sims 3'' store content such as Riverview.
 
==Overview==
Like [[Sunset Valley]], Riverview is very large compared to previous games, although it is a small town with an idyllic countryside setting. It’sIt's dotted with farms, beautiful pastures, and nestled by a winding river, known, according the world's flavor text, as the Simomon. There are 95 [[lot]]s altogether, three fewer than in Sunset Valley. The center of town is built up on an island in the middle of the Simomon. The street name where [[Constance Shelley]] and [[Meadow Carpenter-Rhodes]] live suggests that the island name is Long Island. On one of the shores of the river, there is an industrial area featuring several [[rabbit hole]]s. The landscape is primarily flat, with one notable hill upon which stands Remington's Ruse, the [[Remington family]] home.
 
The architectural style is primarily small rustic town, with a few industrial-style lots in the industrial area that contains the [[military base]], [[hospital]], and [[Park#.22All the Rave.22 Warehouse|abandoned warehouse]]. Despite the small town style, there is a lot of diversity in the townscape, with farms, poor and wealthy subdivisions, and forested terrain.

==Trivia==
*Riverview and [[Riverblossom Hills]] share the same farm/country effect and Riverview has a street named "Riverblossom Hills Drive".
*In some empty houses on Cypress Lane, there is a Sloppy Jalopy in the garage.
*The "Mine Monster" can be viewed on the southeast side of the map.
*22.2% of playable Sims in Riverview are elders, making Riverview the most elderly-populated neighborhood in ''The Sims 3'' series. (compared to Sunset Valley (4.5%), Twinbrook (9.1%), Barnacle Bay (12.1%), Bridgeport (3%), and Hidden Springs (4%).
*Riverview is the only downloadable town not to have ''[[The Sims 3]]'' in its name so when viewed in ''[http://store.thesims3.com/riverview The Sims 3 Store]'', it will display The Sims 3 logo. As of [[Barnacle Bay]], ''The Sims 3'' has been added to the town's name (to match ''[[Barnacle Bay|The Sims 3 Barnacle Bay]]'', ''[[Hidden Springs|The Sims 3 Hidden Springs]]'', etc.).
*All events in Riverview take place before ''[[The Sims 2]]''. However, this is not the case for [[Don Lothario]]. His story clearly follows on from the events that took place in ''The Sims 2.''
*Riverview has the most deceased Sims out of any of ''The Sims 3'' neighborhoods.
*It is the only downloadable world for ''The Sims 3'' with only one word in the name.
*Riverview is one of the locations where postcards can be obtained from in ''[[The Sims 4]]''.
