Speaking of Riverview, I recently re-installed the game after deciding it might be worth looking at again. (I bought it the first week it came out, and it got deleted off my machine with a few months.)

I can't find Riverview... at all.

It isn't in any Sims 3 installation directory, nor can I find it available for download through the Sims 3 site. Sunset Valley is the only town available at game start-up to play in.

Might this be related to patch problems? The game immediately patched to the latest version after fresh install. I haven't installed any mods yet other than a few packages for custom hair. I haven't even saved a game.

 

I'm curious to know if there's any way for Awesomemod to keep my Sims 3 game from updating.  I've tried removing it (by deleting the awesome and aweconfig files), but I still get an error message saying that an "invalid file" was found.
And if it isn't Awesomemod, does anyone know what it might be or how I can fix this problem?

will that fix my launcher error problem?
