Overview
The following version strings are found on
- the first line in skuversion.txt for Windows systems and
- info.plist for OSX systems.
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
Major & Minor
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).
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 = 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
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 17 or 107 in GameVersions.
