The Sims 3 is an older game, but it's still very fun to play. It comes with a lot of content, and expansion packs to install if you wish. But let’s not forget that there is still a lot of stuff on the Sims 3 store that is still available to purchase and play. There is premium content, houses, and worlds to download.

Currently, there are 11 new worlds that you can still download through this website. Let's take a look at what they are and what they have to offer your Sims experience.

Riverview

Riverview was the first world released after The Sims 3 came out. And it's currently available for free on the Sims 3 store. It offers a sleepy little town that is more relaxed than city life, with farming and gardening at its heart.

Sims 3 Riverview Review

Dragon Valley is a town full of fantasy that adds dragonlings to the mix. Included in the Gold Edition are red dragons, green dragons, and purple dragons. There are some great new sims and stories to be played in this town, too, as its denizens must decide between tradition and progress.

Midnight Hollow

Midnight Hollow is a dark town where creativity comes to life. It has a Victorian theme to it. The Gold Edition comes with a Toy Machine and the Savvy Seller’s Collection, which is all you need to get started to start your own business.

Roaring Heights

Roaring Heights is a town for those living in the fast lane. It comes with a cool Fixer-Upper Car that you can repair, customize, and then drive. This town seems to have an oldies theme to it, with the hair styles, clothing, and houses. On the website, it recommends that you get the Boardwalk premium content with it, which includes a roller coaster. The Gold Edition comes with the world, Fixer-Upper Car, Boardwalk Attire, and 1900 SimPoints.

All these new worlds offer new stories and new in-game characters that make them worth playing. Riverview is the only world that you can download without paying. For all other worlds, you will have to buy SimPoints, or Sims 3 store currency, to download them. The cost ranges from a $19.99 bundle, up to 2,426 SimPoints per world.

There are also Gold Editions available for some of the worlds, which include premium content. Gold Editions cost more SimPoints. You will also need to log in the website to download anything.

If you are looking for new content for your Sims 3 game, I suggest getting a new world.

Can I uninstall items from the world I don’t want ?

Unfortunately you will need to uninstall the town if you don’t want some of the items. They are tied to the world and you will get a message about Dependencies if you try.

Riverview disappeared from my world list.

Patch 1.8/2.3 lead to massive problems with Sims3Packs for a lot of people. Best thing to do is to completely uninstall Riverview and all the items listed above and reinstall it. You can redownload it from the the store any time.

Also delete Riverview from the InstalledWorlds folder in the user directory or else you will have Riverview in the selection menu twice.

Backup your data before doing this.
