-==Understanding Version Numbers==
+Example#2
-Here are four examples of a game version and their breakdowns:
+ GameVersion = '''<span style="color:#1A9900;">1.15.34</span>'''.00'''<span style="color:#330099;">8</span>'''01'''<span style="color:#993300;">7</span>'''
-The game version, as a whole, identifies a very specific release.  In the example above, they are:
+===Understanding Region codes===
-.0.631.00107 = The Sims 3, version 0.631 from manifest 0, Worldwide release
-−
-.3.33.003001 = The Sims 3: World Adventures, version 3.33 from manifest 3, North America release
-−
-.2.8.005002  = The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff, version 2.8 from manifest 5, Europe release
-−
-.2.32.007017 = The Sims 3: Ambitions, version 2.32 from manifest 7, Worldwide release
-===Product===
+# Example#1
-Every game, expansion, and stuff pack has a unique product identifier:
+#* has the region code '''"<span style="color:#FF0000;">1</span>"''', for the North American region <br/><br/>
-===Major & Minor===
+===Understanding Game Levels===
-These really does not mean a whole lot except that the higher the numbers, the more recent the patch with Major 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).
