Via Launcher

Run the launcher. It will pick up the version automatically and you should be able to update it just fine.

Running an executable file

Alternatively, if your computer playing Sims 3 does not have internet access, choose one of the following based on:

what Operating System(i.e. Windows or Mac) you're running,
what region/language your DVD is and
what version you had patched it to before.

How to find your region code

Example: GameVersion = 1.0.631.00001 --> has the region code "1"

You can find your region code (last digit in GameVersion) from

Sims3Launcher
- Bottom left corner of the Sims3Launcher screen
skuversion.txt file located in (choose your Operating System)
- Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\
- Windows Vista / 7: C:\Program Files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\
- Mac OS:

OS X

Patch 1.4.6 - (Patch Notes)

There is no way that we know of to patch OS X from 1.0 with a downloadable patch. This means if you're running 1.0 under OS X, you have to patch with the launcher. Again: back up your entire game before installing! If it turns out the most recent patch doesn't work for you, the only alternative for OS X users is version 1.0 if you don't have a backup of a working version.
