    @csyntichakis  Try installing Riverview in a new user folder.  Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, open the launcher to spawn a clean folder, and download and install Riverview.  Load the game to make sure Riverview shows up, then copy your save from the old Sims 3 folder to the new one and see whether it loads.  If you have other store or custom content you want your save to have, you can worry about that later; the point is to see whether this works.

 I removed the Sims 3 folder and a new one opened so the reverview showed up in the game. And later I took the new riverview and put it in the old folder. The funny thing is that all the trials that I did while trying to download the riverview now all of them are showing up in the game I have about 10 riverviews. Thank you a lot for the help🐱

    @csyntichakis  You can't put the new Riverview in the old folder; it doesn't work like that.  Please create another new folder, install Riverview there, and make sure it loads.  Then copy your save to the new folder, launch the game, and see if your save loads in the new folder.
