A Problem with Riverview
Noenmity:
I've actually had this problem for awhile and have tried to fix it to no avail but when I use the Riverview world file acquired via the pudding factory and install it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds folder it plays ok in game and everything appears to work right for the most part except for this problem.
All the sims in Riverview have names such as this; World/Riverview/Sims:Don World/Riverview/Sims:Lothario.
And all my lots have names such as this: World/Riverview/Lothario World/Riverview/Lothario World/Riverview/TheGranary
This doesn't happen if I install through the launcher but i'm trying not to use the launcher as much as possible.
And also for no apparent reason my lots after awhile turn all blue in Riverview, even the ones i've never played. So I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong or what I'm neglecting to do to resolve the matter. So far, I can't seem to find an answer on the board here that has worked to fix it.
So would anyone know of a fix for this problem?

hello from a newbie to this forum :)
I experienced quite the same problem mentioned in previous post (every single place & people in Riverview is described to the detail plus the file path). and some of the buildings are not showing up (City Hall, Day Spa, Business, Hospital, Science, Military). there's one lot next to the criminal career place, it's named "small warehouse" but the icon is actually one of a community swimming pool. weird!
is it caused by the steps in the thread "insane fix to make riverview working"? I don't install any expansion packs. my base game is from razor1911 and only updated to version 1.3.24 (although I intended to update through the latest, 1.10 if not mistaken?) the only 2 not-made-by-EA things in the directory of my Sims3 is this forum's framework and the noCDpatch I found somewhere via a link somewhere in a thread I read last week (not remember for sure). I run the game on 32bit Vista(sucks) Home Premium on an almost 1 y.o. laptop.
btw, on main menu, my riverview world description is **some long numbers don't remember exactly and won't take note either**. is this normal?
please advise. thank you. and I must say this is a very nice forum. more than enough information for everyone looking to solve something or just trying to fill up the brain :)

Oh yeah, this thing happened to me when I extract Riverview into packages. Why not you give this a try? http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18310.msg526635.html#msg526635 Look for the edit

in my case decrapify won't take more than 5 files at a time. first I tried all riverview packages, the whole 92MB, the program tells me that something is too short for something data, can't remember exactly. so I put decrapify and s3rc in riverview folder, dragging 3 files to the exe at a time, then 4, then 5. when I tried 6 files at a time the message comes up again. strange. I read your thread so fast that I don't realize that I should have the other file to put the package back together after being "cleaned". huh. no wonder there's nothing improving with my game. :P

You mean s3pe? You MUST merge thousands of object/hair packages (not mods as they need to be updated regularly) into a single package or your game will be running HELL slow because it needs to load thousands of objects! Btw, you can drag Riverview.sims3pack into decrapify and install it by launcher if you don't like to extract it into packages, it worked like a charm for me!
