The Sims 3 Version 1.69.43.024 Patch
Next to the F12 key to it's right should be a key marked PrtScr (print screen) - This takes a temporary shot of what you see on your screen. It can now be saved/placed by using the 'paste' command. Open Windows 'Paint' program. If like me on WIN10, there are multiple ways to do this and it should be called Paint3D. Sims 3 version 1.69.43 download Update Today we get yet another small patch. It’s to make sure CAW is working again. This update has also stripped the download versions of the EPs/SPs of SecuRom.

The patch is available only for Origin PC users. 1 Release notes 2 Notable changes 3 Glitches 4 Installing Today we will be releasing an update for PC Windows version of The Sims.
The following alternative installation format is inspired by guest contributor anadius's (former) work on G4TW, and partly also by a user suggesting that we re-surrect what used to be known on G4TW as the 'TS4 Update-Only Ultimate Fix'. The format is meant to simplify and reduce the number of necessary steps to patch your The Sims 4 game. In addition to that, there is now an option to add individual DLCs at your leisure!
Everything is in the 'usual' G4TW format of extract/copy/paste. Note that in case you still haven't grabbed 7-zip, you can do so for free here.
Who exactly should use this format? The main audience it is intended for, are the people who don't regularly keep up with The Sims 4. EA are not showing any sign of 'relenting', with regards to constantly releasing mini-DLCs for the game, and G4TW's regular format of TS4 repacks has become a nightmare to use. Yes, we have to concede that. Maybe not so much for the people who really show up here every time we release something new. But if people don't regularly keep up, they have to resort to doing the step-step-step procedure.
Not so anymore! The format will just have one (1) patch, that can be applied regardless of which patch version you are on. It will always bring you to the latest available patch version + the No-Origin fixes courtesy of the group CODEX, plus the 18 language strings. It will drastically simplify and reduce the overall number of steps people will need to go through. Also included is the dlc-toggler, that is created and maintained by anadius. All credits for that go to him, we merely add it here as a supplement to the format.
We have also decided to re-release the Legacy Edition Patch, to accommodate the fact that EA's initial release was bugged. Without further ado, please read the detailed installation text guide and/or view the example walkthrough on the video.

Understanding Version Numbers
Here are four examples of a game version and their breakdowns:
The game version, as a whole, identifies a very specific release. In the example above, they are:
Product
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
- 6 = The Sims 3: Late Night
- 7 = The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff
- 8 = The Sims 3: Generations
- 9 = The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff
- 10 = The Sims 3: Pets
- 11 = The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff
- 12 = The Sims 3: Showtime
- 13 = The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats
- 14 = The Sims 3: Diesel Stuff
- 15 = The Sims 3: Supernatural
Major & Minor
The major and minor version numbers really do not mean a whole lot on their own except that the higher the numbers, the more recent the patch with the major number 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).
Compatibility
All products installed should have the same compatibility number. The compatibility number is sometimes refered to as the 'game level.'
- 0 - Literally null and appears as '00' instead of '000.'
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5

See table below for details.
SKU
The SKU is broken into three components, each corrosponding to a digit. From left to right, they are Beta, Protocol, and Region.
Beta
A boolean value of 0 or 1 where 1 indicates it is part of beta testing for the patching protocol. This was only seen once on region 7 when the game was originally released.
Protocol
This is likely an EA Download Manager/Origin version number which the application can check to make sure it is capable of handling the patch. There's only been three values given:
- 0 = Standard patch seen on the first patches through to some today.
- 1 = Special patch seen only on region 7. It may indicate that the patch is intended for in-house testing only.
- 3 = Final patches to expansions and stuff packs. It is assumed that EA Download Manager/Origin is not supposed to look for patches when the installed protocol is set to 3.
Region
For a full list of languages included for each region, see Sims 3:Regions.
Sims 3:Versions - SimsWiki
- 1 = North America
- 2 = Europe
- 3 = East Asia
- 5 = Japan
- 7 = Worldwide
