Here are four examples of a game version and their breakdowns:

Example#1
 +
GameVersion = '''<span style="color:#80FF00;">1.0.631</span>'''.0'''<span style="color:#0000FF;">0</span>'''00'''<span style="color:#FF0000;">1</span>'''

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

===Understanding Region codes===
−
Every game, expansion, and stuff pack has a unique product identifier:
+
  
−
* 1 = The Sims 3
+
# Example#1
−
* 2 = The Sims 3: World Adventures
+
#* has the region code '''"<span style="color:#FF0000;">1</span>"''', for the North American region <br/><br/>
−
* 3 = The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff
+
# Example#2
−
* 4 = The Sims 3: Ambitions
+
#* has the region code '''"<span style="color:#993300;">7</span>"''', for the Digital Downloads
−
* 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).

===Understanding Game Levels===

==Manifest==
+
# Example#1
−
Manifests are a group or package of updates.  All products are updated simutaneously through a manifest delievered by EADM.
+
#* has the game engine level at '''"<span style="color:#0000FF;">0</span>"'''<br/><br/>
 +
# Example#2
 +
#* has the game engine level at '''"<span style="color:#330099;">8</span>"'''
  
−
* 0 = BG - Appears as "00" instead of "000."
 
−
* 2 = BG WA
 
−
* 3 = BG WA CAW
 
−
* 4 = BG WA CAW HELS
