It is possible that the manifest number isn't 3-digit but is instead two boolean values followed by the manifest number apended to it.  The same goes for the SKU number.  The appending behavior is already witnessed going from 0 to 2 and if this theory is correct, manifest 10 will make the version string 7 characters long instead of 6.  Similarly, the position of the 1 in the SKU number most likely represents a boolean value but it is unknown what they represent.  It most likely has something to do with patching.  There's no way to know if the actual SKU number is appended as it is with manifest number and because it is unlikely they will ever create another SKU, it is impossible to know how it works, specifically.  I will update the page as information becomes certain. --[[User:FordGT90Concept|FordGT90Concept]] 00:48, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I created this page mostly to monitor how EA evolves the patching system.  Now that they simplified it to releasing two patches (usually) per expansion/stuff pack, I think what there is to learn about it has already been learned.  It is likely not much else will be learned by future patches that isn't already on [[Game Help:Patch Table]].  I think the only thing of any value going foward is the [[Sims 3:List of Manifests|manifest numbers]].  That is probably all I'll update going forward. --[[User:FordGT90Concept|FordGT90Concept]] 04:55, 1 September 2012 (EDT)

:EA apparently isn't making the manifest number in the version representative of the actual manifest (probably because of the overrun I discussed above).  As such, it is very likely the manifest number will remain at 9 for the foreseeable future. --[[User:FordGT90Concept|FordGT90Concept]] 20:32, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] I will no longer be updating this page

I created this page mostly to monitor how EA evolves the patching system. Now that they simplified it to releasing two patches (usually) per expansion/stuff pack, I think what there is to learn about it has already been learned. It is likely not much else will be learned by future patches that isn't already on Game Help:Patch Table. I think the only thing of any value going foward is the manifest numbers. That is probably all I'll update going forward. --FordGT90Concept 04:55, 1 September 2012 (EDT)
