New Computer-Install and Patching Question
SimVeggie:
So you ran the MTS patch tool only at the end?
When did you install Riverview (if you did at all), and did you install it as a .sims3pack or did you convert it to .packages?
jezzer:
Riverview is a free store download, so there's no need to do anything special to install it, and you can install it any time after the basegame. Barnacle Bay is really the only problematic world I've seen EA release so far (other than the Hidden Springs Fountain of Youth conflicting with everything; fixes are available on here). It's ugly as hell, and came with a lot of pirate outfits that some idiot at EA enabled for random in multiple clothing categories. BB has a lot of objects, but they're mostly faux nautical-themed crap that would look more at home in a low-rent amusement park. It also doesn't have much room to expand and add extra lots. Not a fan of Barnacle Bay.
As far as the other Store Worlds go, Hidden Springs is gorgeous and has a lot of room to expand, as well as a ton of parks that can be converted to other lots if you want to add locations for Pets, Ambitions, Late Night, and Showtime. The only drawbacks I can think of are the aforementioned fixable Fountain of Youth conflict and EA's baffling decision to make some of the townies greenish-skinned (Yes, I know the town description says it's a "side effect" of the Fountain; that doesn't make it any less aesthetically baffling). Meanwhile, Lunar Lakes managed to somehow not be shitty, which is a TRIUMPH when you think about how badly an EA-created, scifi-themed world could have turned out. It also has a Premium Object, a crystal tree, that will need the KT fix files to work properly.

Didn't Hidden Springs coincide with the magic cauldron, crystal ball, etc.?
Painkiller:
Not quite but very close. Hidden Spring came with the FOY, the magical set came (a month?) afterward.
jezzer:
The neighborhood flavor text for Hidden Springs implies that some townspeople are turning green as a result of living so close to the Fountain of Youth, so I don't think it was meant to be linked to witches and magic.
