The GameVersion line always starts with "GameVersion=" followed by the version number. Here are three examples and their breakdowns:
The GameVersion, as a whole, identifies a very specific release. In the example above, they are:
1.0.631.00107 = The Sims 3, version 0.631 from manifest 0, Worldwide release 2.3.33.003001 = The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff, version 3.33 from manifest 3, North America release 4.2.32.007017 = The Sims 3: Ambitions, version 2.32 from manifest 7, Worldwide release

- 0 = BG - Appears as "00" instead of "000."
- 2 = BG WA
- 3 = BG WA CAW
- 4 = BG WA CAW HELS
- 5 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB
- 6 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB CAP
- 7 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB CAP
- 8 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB CAP FLS
