Overview
The following version strings are found on
- the first line in skuversion.txt for Windows systems and
- info.plist for OSX systems.
Understanding Version Numbers
Here are four examples of a game version and their breakdowns:
The game version, 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: World Adventures, version 3.33 from manifest 3, North America release 3.2.8.005002 = The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff, version 2.8 from manifest 5, Europe release 4.2.32.007017 = The Sims 3: Ambitions, version 2.32 from manifest 7, Worldwide release
Product
Every game, expansion, and stuff pack has a unique product identifier:
- 1 = The Sims 3
- 2 = The Sims 3: World Adventures
- 3 = The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff
- 4 = The Sims 3: Ambitions
- 5 = The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff
- 6 = The Sims 3: Late Night
Major & Minor
The major and minor version numbers really do not mean a whole lot on their own except that the higher the numbers, the more recent the patch with the major number taking precedent. For example: 1.0.631 is older than 1.15.34 because 15 is greater than 0. The major number often changes with every patch released whereas the minor number changes whenever they test a new build internally (usually does not reach the public).
Manifest
Update manifests are a group, package, or list of updates. All products are updated simutaneously through an update manifest. The manifest number is sometimes refered to as the "game level."
- 0 - Appears as "00" instead of "000."
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
See table below for details.
SKU
For a full list of languages included in each, see Sims 3:SKUs. The SKU number is sometimes refered to as the "region code."
- 1 = North America
- 2 = Europe
- 3 = East Asia
- 5 = Japan
- 7 = Worldwide - Appears as "017" or "107" in version numbers.

Here is a table with all version numbers, associated manifests, and to what products they belong.

Note: In order for the tools not to complain about version numbers, you must have your game fully patched to the correct manifest number. The tools will refuse to run if you do not.
