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 WindowsLogo.png MacLogo.png

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 WindowsLogo.png MacLogo.png

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/
