I got it over the weekend, installed it, and immediately put in Pescado's AwesomeMod. I'm still trying to figure out how everything works, but so far, so good. I homed in on the Lin sisters in Riverview. A lot of things are a lot more complicated, which I like, but Shirley Lin gets so drained at work she can barely accomplish anything when she gets home, especially since she's a coward and therefore panics when going out of doors in the dark. I hope once I get another promotion under her belt, she'll have more reasonable hours.

So far, the gardening is by far my favorite feature. I never did get the Seasons expansion for TS2, so I don't know how similar or different it is, but I think all my Sims will have gardens. I'm enjoying playing Legacy style with story progression, especially since there are so many characters in each neighborhood that I would never keep up with them all otherwise. Of course, last night I stayed up absurdly late playing, until I was yawning and could barely keep my eyes open. I just couldn't tear myself away from the game.

Is anyone else playing Riverview? Who's your favorite Sim?

I had Seasons for TS2 and I actually like the gardening in TS3 a LOT better!! It's a bit easier.

I haven't downloaded Riverview yet - I heard that the amenities in Riverview weren't as nice as the ones in Sunset Valley...How are you liking it??

I like Riverview! I passed over sunset Valley because it looked a bit too crowded for my liking, but Riverview has everything I need. There are lots of seeds to collect, and even though I haven't gotten into collecting rocks and bugs, there are plenty of those, too. And I really like the layout, I think it's pretty.
