Info and download links for Oceanview
Backstory
Once a quiet, small 19th century fishing village, Oceanview is now a booming urban metropolis attracting scores of out of towners to its shores. While some Oceanview residents are happy to see their town transformed into a hip cultural center, the village’s oldest families are unhappy having to deal with the influx of obnoxious hipsters, Yuppie snobs, and trust fund babies who they feel are ruining their quaint way of life. Will the old and new families of Oceanview ever see eye to eye, or will they forever be locked in a battle over their fair city?
Specifications:
What type of system you’ll need to run the game, as well as other requirements:
- Oceanview is a large Late Night world with 170 lots. Because of this, it’s not recommended for computers that can’t handle large worlds.
- It needs the following EPs–Ambitions, Late Night, World Adventures, Generations, Showtime, Seasons and Pets
- It needs Fast Lane, as several of the households and sims use Fast Lane objects and CAS items.
- Requires Riverview from the Sims 3 store
- Oceanview is completely CC-free! However, it may include some Registration Rewards content from Ambitions, Late Night, World Adventures, Generations, Showtime, Seasons and Pets.

There are Now Two Versions of Oceanview–Remastered and Legacy. What’s the Difference?
Oceanview, Remastered is the newest version of Oceanview, and has the following changes:
- Oceanview, Remastered is now Island Paradise Ready™, meaning that players with IP can add houseboats along the shore lines, which had routing paint forbidding access.
- Terrain has been sculpted for more realism.
- There is a new waterfall!
- Several new fully built and empty residential and community lots have been added. Explore Oceanview to discover where they are!
- Several pre-existing lots have been moved around to make room for empty lots: the Hoi Polloi Center, Festival Grounds, C-Ment Shoe Factory and Plumbot Pictures Backlot.
- The large lake behind the large hilltop has been opened up for fishing and swimming.
- There are major interior and exterior renovations to several townhouses, starter homes and community lots.
- There are 10 new households!
- A few sims that were incorrectly exported with wrong hairstyles and outfits have been fixed, particularly the Heartbreak Hotel and Funnicello household.
- Most except the most stubborn routing issues have been fixed.
This is the newest, most recent update of Oceanview, which was released in June 2025. It is highly recommended that you download this version, as it’s a complete overhaul of the world, including new interiors, more lots, resculpted terrain and several new venues.
Oceanview Remastered (519 downloads )
As of June 2025, The Sims Depot has released a newer updated version of Oceanview called Oceanview, Remastered. Although that is now the most recent version of the world, the legacy version (1.0) will still be hosted just in case players who have that version may want it.
I want to try this one. Can I get tutorial for installing it?
If you want to install the world, just click on the link above and download the file to your desktop. Then click on the file and it will install automatically to your game.
yea mine just hangs towards the end. doesn’t ever actually load
This world looks great, however could we please get an alternative download mirror. I’m getting very low speeds which results in a constantly corrupted .rar file. Downloading this at 22kb per second is awful considering I have a gigabit internet connection. Much appreciated! 🙂
Thank you for your interest in Oceanview. I used to have a mirror link to Google Drive, but then Google flaked out on me and started resetting permissions. I need to find a new host to mirror but with the way things are going these days, it’s getting harder and harder. I’ll look for alternatives, but I can’t make any promises, since everyone wants you to pay through the nose to host files.
I just tried to download this world and it redirected me to your main page. Will it be available again soon?
Hi, Bonnie,
I’m not really sure what happened (why you were bounced to the home page). I don’t know if this is the result of a server issue or something else. In any case, the file is very much available. Could you try a different browser and see what happens?
I have the same problem. Tried a different browser but the same thing happens.
Hi,
I’m still looking into the problem. What are your specs? What browser are you using? Do you have ad blocking software or some other third party programming managing your browser settings?
The link brings me back to the homepage.I tried multiple browsers and no I don’t have any ad blocking software
Hi,
I just ran the site through a bunch of updates. Please try again and see if that helps any.
For those being bounced back to the main website, try right clicking the oceanview.rar link and clicking “save link”.
Thank you for this! I tried it and it worked this way!!
Ah, it’s a shame:( i tried download it by “saving link” and still nothing happened. Could we download it on another website or something? 🙁
it’s a shame… still can’t download it, even by saving the link ^
so… could we download it some different way? maybe through other website? cheers
Hey everyone! Try to press right button of the mouse and open it on an anonymous tab. Worked perfectly to me!!
Thanks for the tip! Hopefully, this workaround will help my visitors. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this issue for months to no avail. It seems as if Windows has been putting in all kinds of weird security measures making it more difficult to download items. It’s even hard to download Create a World now from the official Sims 3 site without jumping through hoops. *smh*
thank you so much, that worked!!
