Check your region
The super-patcher you need for Mac OSX depends on the region of the version you’re installing.
If you already know which region version you have, skip to the next section.
If you have only installed The Sims 3 (with no expansions, worlds, or stuff packs), you can check your region version from the launcher:
- Run the launcher.
- Check the version number in the bottom left corner of the launcher window.
- Find the last digit in the version number – that’s your region code.
- The number should be 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7.
- If it isn’t, follow the steps below to find the region code.
If you’ve installed more than the base game, or have a version number that doesn’t end with 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7, you’ll need to manually check your region in the game files:
- Open Finder, go to Applications and select The Sims 3 folder.
- Right-click on the game icon and select Show Package Contents.
- Right-click the file named info.plist to highlight it.
- Press the spacebar to open the file in Quick View Mode.
- Check the version number listed under ClientBuild.
- Find the last number in the version – that’s your region code.
- Press the spacebar to exit Quick View mode.
- Close your Finder windows.
