Overview

The following version strings are found on


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

GameVersion.png

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

Products

Every game, expansion, and stuff pack has a unique product identifier.

  • 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

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).


Manifest

Manifests are a group or package of updates. All products are updated simutaneously through a manifest delievered by EADM.

  • 0 = BG - Appears as "00" instead of "000."
  • 2 = BG WA
  • 3 = BG WA CAW
  • 4 = BG WA CAW HELS
  • 5 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB
  • 6 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB CAP
  • 7 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB CAP
  • 8 = BG WA CAW HELS AMB CAP FLS

For a full list of languages included in each, see Sims 3:SKUs.

  • 1 = North America
  • 2 = Europe
  • 3 = East Asia
  • 5 = Japan
  • 7 = Worldwide - Appears as 17 or 107 in GameVersions.
