Via Launcher

Run the launcher. It will pick up the version automatically and you should be able to update it just fine. If the downloads cuts out before completing or you are not prompted to update, check if you had disabled Automatic Updates and also check your EADM program's connection to the Internet and if necessary, uninstall & reinstall EADM.

Also ensure that your Firewall & AntiVirus application(s) do not block the EADM, Launcher programs to run or block access to the thesims3.com site .


Running an executable file

Alternatively, if your computer playing Sims 3 does not have internet access, choose one of the following based on:

  1. what Operating System(i.e. Windows or Mac) you're running,
  2. what region/language your DVD is and
  3. what version you had patched it to before.


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):

Example: in <skuversion.txt>
GameVersion = 1.0.631.00001 --> has the region code "1"
[more lines with some other content]
  1. Sims3Launcher
    • Bottom left corner of the Sims3Launcher screen
    Shows current patch version of last installed game or pack only
  2. Version.tag file located in (choose your Operating System)
    TS3 docs path.png
    Shows current patch version of last installed game or pack only
    Only available in patch series 1.5(? need verification) and higher
  3. skuversion.txt file 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\
    • Mac OS:

OS X

Patch 1.4.6 - (Patch Notes)

There is no way that we know of to patch OS X from 1.0 with a downloadable patch. This means if you're running 1.0 under OS X, you have to patch with the launcher. Again: back up your entire game before installing! If it turns out the most recent patch doesn't work for you, the only alternative for OS X users is version 1.0 if you don't have a backup of a working version.
