The Sims 3 - Riverview Guide

The Sims 3 offers upgrades with their expansion packages and stuff packages, some of these even include a new town to go with them. This helps to enhance the user’s gameplay experience and gives them the ability to do more with their game.

A new town for the game allows users to create a completely different game for each town, and play them whenever they like separately. The only other official downloadable neighborhood is Barnacle Bay which may be purchased at their Online Store.
