I'd like some cheese with this whine too (preferably the raw-milk variety).
I downloaded Riverview and spent half the night with a bottle of Mountain Dew Throwback trying to figure out how to make the blasted world show up.
This morning I got the brilliant idea to reinstall everything.
Immediately after reinstalling the base game I put in Riverview...and it worked fine.
Until.
I started adding the EPs I have (Generations, Pets, Seasons, 70s 80s 90s).
So I remembered something I'd read on MTS...put a copy of the world in the Sims 3 folder that's in Program Files (x86).
Then I got the crap described in this thread (not wanting to commit necromancy and take up residence in Tardo Land)
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18326.0.htmlSo my question is...what in the world is borked here? Works fine with just base game, add a few EPs and forget it.
(Yes, I just downloaded some Awesomeware and hope to give the decrapifier a run.)
