Riverview

[david.shaun.harris1958]

Hi, I bought the Sims 3 Base game and noticed there was a file named Sims 3 Neighbourhood - Riverview v1.4 in the Installed Worlds folder. It's listed as a Custom Content Package file and seems to be the world you could download from the EA Sims 3 site
but as I downloaded my game from Steam, I was wondering if this world can be used in my game, and if so, does anyone have any tips on how to install it ? Thanks in advance for any help, Dave.

Yes, it works just fine with the Steam version of the game. Just go to the EA site and download it and it should show up in your game. I don't recall having to do anything special other than that, but if it doesn't show up let me know.

Went to the EA site, created an account, registered my game, couldn't find any way of
accessing the site or any sort of download links, did a search for 'Riverview', came up as
nothing found, no information. The only download link I found was in my profile page
and that was to download the game to my PC which I've already downloaded when I bought it from Steam. Could it be something to do with MS Edge not being compatible with the site ? Oh, sorry, thanks for the reply, btw. (Forgetting my manners). 🙂

Hi, hal2003, thanks for the advice but I've hit a brick wall and need some further advice.
I got as far as the Download link but when I clicked it, it said it wants to open the Launcher.
I'm assuming it means the EA Launcher, which I don't have as I bought the game from Steam. If I download the EA Launcher will it be looking for an EA folder to install into or
will it install into the folder where my Steam games are ? Getting a bit confused now and seem to be going round in circles. Appreciate your time and help, bro ! 🙂

No it want open Sims3 launcher. Both versions EA App/Disc version and Steam are saving to same place in documents folder.

Thanks, hal2003, sorted !! I think it's a bit confusing to call their app a launcher, it's more
of an installer (even 'tho it can launch the program) but I rarely play online and have no
interest in badges, etc. Thanks once again for your help and have dropped a little
something into your Xmas stocking. Cheers, M8 !! 🎅👍
