I’ve been playing this household lately and I’ve noticed a few things. When the family has their first child it is always a boy (even when you remove the apples from her inventory). As long as you don’t cheat with the watermelon trick, it will always be a boy. If Hannah goes on to have more kids, they will have either black hair with grey highlights, or red hair like Aiden’s. I don’t know where the black and grey come from in the family tree but it’s definitely note worthy. Also I recently felt compelled to completely renovate their house and it was SUCH A PAIN! It was built over a large hole in the ground which made the floors uneven and fixing the poorly constructed house incredibly difficult. But I did it! And made it a lovely mansion with enough bedrooms to accommodate the family the two have always wanted.
Hannah's mother had black hair with grey highlights, that's likely where the children get their hair colour from. Also, what's up with the house being built over a hole? That's so weird!
yeah, it's constantly overshadowed by ts2 lore and almost everyone who talks about it is talking about the lag and it's a shame cause I personaly love it
@K C yessss, I recently got a beast of a PC and it runs the sims so smoothly and with cc the sims don't even look that bad? even without cc they don't, overall it's better than the sims 4 in terms of gameplay and enjoyment
Is it at all possible that Kirsten died in car accident? The car is literally in water and she died of drowning and you never showed a pool to be on the family's lot
Just to clear it out, you don't have to gain required skill points to get promoted. If you have fewer skill points, your sim can still get a promotion. The job progress bar will just raise a bit slower and it speeds up with each skill point gained.
I feel so warm and fuzzy inside every time one of this videos is out. The main reason why I love The Sims and play it as much is the lore, inside jokes little clues.
With the winchester thing, Sarah was actually told that the spirits wanted revenge and that the only way to save herself was to build a mansion and just..never stop adding onto it. That's why its so huge and weird, because Sarah was building onto the house constantly and it only stopped when she died. She believed that putting in fake doors, stairs leading to nothing, rooms with no doors to access them, etc, she could confuse and trap the spirits
Actually that’s not true. In reality Sarah was just bored, old, and fabulously wealthy and decided to build a really weird house for shits and giggles. The thing about the ghosts was a lie the people who bought the house after her death came up with in order to promote the house as a tourist trap.
I had my sim be an architectural designer in Riverview and the Remingtons were my first clients. I was so confused by their house! The assignment was to add a nursery for a baby.
A young couple living in a small town in a haunted house, the car in the river, and a character named Lydia make me think there's a nod to Beetlejuice there. While Riverview came out years prior to What Remains of Edith Finch, I fond some interesting parallels there as well. A large family in a weird house all dead by a variety of means. Overlaps like that in popular media can be quite interesting.
I mean, this channel is literally making lots of videos about dark game theories and still the best form for me to relax. No words can express how much I love your narrative.
I feel like a mistake was made and Eileen was meant to have died by drowning and Hannah's mother Lydia was meant to die via starvation (to me it makes more sense that the mother and daughter both drowned in the river) and that Hannah's mom probably starved to death due to failing health (she has tints of grey in her hair).
@@emilymiller1072 possible there is a wrecked car near one of the water banks near one of the bridges (which was also going the wrong way on the road). As well as a boat with a hole in it.
Its reminds me of the tv show Ghosts where a young married couple inherit an old haunted mansion though shes the only one that can see them. Its actually interesting and definately think it was inspired by the Winchester house. Lydia and Kirsten were possibly connected in that car crash and Eileen died by starving herself from the grief. Then her husband made this house and acidentally died by electrocution when hooking up the tv. The brother could have died in the same span as the mother or father?
Hannah Jones has a lot of similar traits and appearance to Holly Alto👁👄👁 Does that mean something? I’m just trying to be as smart and mysterious as The Sims Lore😂😂😂
@@iarinaioana1019 Their zodiacs were randomized by the time you start a new save in Riverview, because hat world was created before zodiacs were implemented.
William died shortly before Sarah was told she was haunted and their daughter died years before. He never lived in California much less the mansion. I do like your videos
4:55 you said stressful but the text says restful ! Also I’m fairly certain you don’t NEED the full skill bar section full to be promoted, just within it and over time you can still get promoted over time/with other aspects and good mood helping. That’s usually how mine get promoted , they’re typically in the middle of that bar if I remember correctly.
I deleted my comment, but I'm glad you mentioned the Winchester Mystery House. My mystery/conspiracy mind went straight there when you showed the layout, haha!
4:17 Sim's to get a promotion (or get a good grade at school) doesn't have to have all the skills or other requirements met, as they just allow how fast the performance metric can get to promotion in The Sims 3. It's also the same if the Sim has too few skill points/bad mood, then how quickly sim's performance meter can fall.
The Remington Estate's description says that Jasper built the manor expanding his tiny house. By the fact he is Insane, he could simple expanded in a alleatory and disorganized way, and it can be the motive why the house have such a weak base, basically a hole, that was where the old Jasper house were.
I played Riverview for a short time and played this family. It's definitely based on the Winchester mansion, but obviously not as massive. The game got away from me, so I abandoned it. But: pretty town; interesting townies and it was free! Can't beat the combination.
7:14 But... but her mansion is so big and strange because she was generous and wanted the people of the town to have a job => to have money. No medium and ghosts stuff, the mansion just was built, had some floors added after finishing the main building, had some floors destroyed due to the earthquake in 1906 etc. That's why there is that "door to nowhere" at the second floor, doors that lead to the walls and the other strange stuff. The rooms behind these doors were destroyed you know
My theory to how they all died is that first dead were Lydia and Kirsten. While Lydia was driving Kirsten home (possibly from school) they crossed a bridge that collapsed and were trapped inside the car and drowned (the car in question is the abandoned car in the river) Next was Jasper and Cody. While Jasper was working on a broken TV in his bedroom, it electrocuted him and he died, the electrocution started a fire that killed Cody. And lastly, Eileen being the only survivor of the family, she suffered a lot of grief and stopped eating due to grief and accidentally starved herself.
I know this is far fetched but, maybe you should do a Simcity Lore. After all, what gave birth to the Sims was due to Simcity. If you have seen the first trailer, its simcity with the sims moving out of the city into smaller neighborhoods and all. I don't know, I just think it would be cool to see a Simcity Lore. *THEN AGAIN. EA KILLED SIMCITY 😫* -I reposted it cause its the newest video-
this mansion honestly reminds me of sarah winchesters home in which she built and boarded up rooms to keep the ghosts away. maybe the couple wanted to lock the ghosts away?
Ok so here me out but what if the mom and cousin died at the same time. Then the aunt accidentally starved herself because she was too busy grieving her daughters death, then the dad started a fire (everything was replaced afterwards) which killed him by electrocution and his son by the fire
Theory 1: Lydia tried to save Kirsten from drowning but ended up drowing with her...Kinda sad i know Theory 2: As we can she in the map view there is a crashed car near the river that is touching the water NOW the theory is that Lydia was going (or returing from)somewhere with Kirsten but something happend to their car and ened up drowing together
William Winchester had such cute eyes though?? Also "quiet countryside town"? There's a car carcass in a river... Believe me, quiet countryside towns are not that interesting xD

That could be true
@Michelle so only people who don't have driving license die in accidents?
Maybe her mom or dad was driving the car they crashed and only she died from drowning
@Michelle What if Lydia was the driver since she drowned too?
Maybe Lydia killed herself and Kirsten in a murder suicide by driving the car into water and that's why her grave isn't on the home lot
This is the lore that I miss from sims games 😫
I think the lounge chair at the back of the fireplaces it was suppoused to be a “homemade sauna”

4:20 In The Sims 3, you can get promoted without having the necessary skills if you fill your job performance meter.
The big room in the attic that doesn’t seem to have a purpose is a ball room. The stairs leading up are for guest to bypass the living quarters.

I love renovating this house! What a beautiful piece of property!
I love your channel!!!! Favorite sims channel for sure
Yay!! Lore is back to get us through these hard times❤❤❤
The thing with the sims 3 is that you don,t really need all the skills for a promotion the highlighted bars show a min and a max that you need

Yeaaaah! New The Sims Lore to make my day! THANKS!!!! :)
Thanks, TS Lore 👍
I Liked the Winchester info.
I think they are based on the Winchester mystery. They created all of those weird rooms to confuse all of the ghosts.
please do more from riverview!!!! loved the video ❤️
Who died in those caraccidents?! It would be interesting to know more about the cars in the river and the people they used to belong to!
Oooh. This sounds cool
The Sims developers watching The Sims Lore's conspiracy theories: interesting.
lmao whoever built that house at EA was so stoned i'm living for it
Just a thought, but Janine could be related to Aiden by marriage or adoption. She could even just be a distant relative.
I played this family when I had sims 3 on my computer! I guess I never paid much attention to the backstory though
Great video as always!
The house reminds me a hotel "Cortez" in American Horror story

They put so much into the lore in the past 3 games... and then nothing in 4. I blame everything on EA
Yess!!! I love this video this was super interesting :D
W-w-wait, wait, wait...7:35 this is a ghost from a drowned child?
I love your voice so much❤️

How can a family that owns a mansion died cause of starvation
*murder*.
Just thinking of ts2, where Romeos parents die of starvation when they are a family of chefs
I think the mother was the last in the family, and her grief over her family caused her to neglect her health and stop eating
Yess, even more sims 3
