Riverview Has Disappeared!

Unbelievable. It's gone again. I can't worry about it this morning though.

Shoot!! Thank you for the update though. I was wondering if it actually stayed installed for you or not.

I shouldn't be spending time on this this morning but I can't resist. I deleted all of RV except for my save and downloaded it again from the store using MS Edge. Successfully installed it and it's in the game again...for the moment. If I have to d/l it every time I want to play it, I guess that's the way it will be. So I'm not shutting down the game today just to see what happens.

I have read in many places about Sims 3 players having issues with disappearing Sims 3 Store and custom content. It seems to uninstall itself.

It's not only Steam and Origin players mentioning this, on a rare occassion I've read players with the disc version report disappearing store and custom content.

I haven't had any issues with disappearing content in quite some time, but still wanted to offer a suggestion of something that might help. -- Thinking of the disappearing content being due to Sims 3 not being white listed in your antivirus software.

Here's the troubleshooting steps:

  -- Using a new Sims 3 folder.
Rename your current Sims 3 folder, so game can create new one when game is launched.

1. Disable the the antivirus software.
2. Install Riverview
3. Play Sims 3 in that open and close it a few times to see what stays installed.

If RV stays installed then it might be that Sims 3 may need to be white listed on your antivirus software. If you're not sure how, you may need to Google how to do that. As each antivirus software seems to have it's own way of doing things.
