PLEASE HELP!! SIMS 3 WORLD ADVENTURES..
LindseyLou:
I have a downloaded copy of the sims 3 with a no cd crack.
I just BOUGHT the sims 3 world adventures expansion pack and it will not let me install it. It keeps saying
"The regional install code for the sims 3 is defferent than what this expansion requires"
Help I really want to play.
If you know how to fix it can you please explain in great detail. Thanks.
Bluemcgee:
If you downloaded the Sims 3, then I think they're all International, which means a store-brought World Adventures won't work with it, as it would be a different region.
ShortyBoo:
I have a store bought version of TS3 and am planning on downloading WA. Am I going to have the same issue? Because if that's the case, I'll save myself the trouble and buy the game.
Sigmund:
According to the other thread, you can do something do workaround that, Shortyboo:

roflcopter...
I own legit TS3 (yes, I bought it)
I cannot install the expansion because of the region the game thinks it is.
You want to fix this? In regedit...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sims\The Sims 3
Change SKU value to 7.
Then yay, it installs. Screw EA.
If somebody knows the SKU value of the US base game (I'm assuming you're USian, LindseyLou, correct me if I'm wrong), the OP could try changing that before attempting to install the EP and report back. I don't know if that would work or not, I'm just guessing.
ShortyBoo:
Ok, I'm probably going to sound dumb here, but I don't have any idea of how to do that. I've never done anything with regedit before and I wouldn't know what I'm doing. Any chance of more detailed instructions? I have XP if that makes any difference.
Edit: I think I figured it out. I got into the registry and found where it had The Sims 3 folder. I right-clicked on SKU, clicked on Modify and in the box that says Value data I changed the 1 to a 7 and clicked ok. Is that all I need to do? I hope I didn't screw anything up.
