How to find your GameVersion and region code
There are three ways for you to find your GameVersion and region code (last digit in GameVersion):
Sims3Launcher

To use this method,
- look in the bottom left corner of the Sims3Launcher screen.
- the current patch version of last installed game or pack only for those with patch 1.11.7 / 2.6.11 / 3.2.8 and below.
- separate game icons if you're running patch 1.12.70 / 2.7.7 / 3.3.11 onwards. Hover over each icon for each game you have installed, to view the current gameversion number.
Version.tag

This file shows the current patch version of last installed game or pack only. (Only available in patch series 1.5(? need verification) and higher). The file is a standard text file and can be opened with Notepad.
This file is located in (choose your Operating System)
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\
- Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\
- Mac OS: /Users/<username>/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/
skuversion.txt 
The most reliable way to find out the individual versions of each installed game or pack, on Windows systems, is to look inside this text file. Just double-click the file to open it with your text program of choice.
This file is located in (choose your Operating System)
- Windows (32-bit):
- \Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\ or
- \Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 <EP or SP name>\Game\Bin\
- Windows (64-bit):
- \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\ or
- \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 <EP or SP name>\Game\Bin\
info.plist 
Mac OS:
- In an OSX system, right-click on the <the game title>.app as in the path below, and select "Show package content" or "Show Original"
- The following folder would be opened, depending on what title you selected above
- /Applications/The Sims 3.localized/The Sims3.app/
- /Applications/The Sims 3.localized/The Sims3 <EP or SP name>.app/
- Double-click on "Contents" to open that folder.
- Inside /Applications/The Sims 3.localized/<the game title>.app/Contents/ folder, you'll find the info.plist file; open this file in your text editor.
- Look for:
<key>ClientBuild</key> <string>1.12.70.006002</string>
