The game version, as a whole, identifies a very specific release.  In the example above, they are:
+
===Understanding Region codes===
−
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===
+
# 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/>
 +
# Example#2
 +
#* has the region code '''"<span style="color:#993300;">7</span>"''', for the Digital Downloads
  
−
* 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===
+
===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).
+
  
 +
# Example#1
 +
#* 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>"'''
  
−
===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."
+
===Understanding GameVersions===
−
* 2
+
−
* 3
+
−
* 4
+
−
* 5
+
−
* 6
+
−
* 7
+
−
* 8
+
  
−
See [[#All Versions Tabulated|table below]] for details.
+
# Example#1
 +
#* has the game version at '''"<span style="color:#80FF00;">''1''.0.631</span>"'''<br/><br/>
 +
# Example#2
 +
#* has the game version at '''"<span style="color:#1A9900;">''1''.15.34</span>"'''
  
−
===SKU===
+
with prefix ''1'' being base game, ''2'' is for World Adventures, and so on...
−
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.
