PLEASE HELP!! SIMS 3 WORLD ADVENTURES..
kiki:
I am getting so frustrated with this, I've got both of them on DVD but I'm getting this error message even after a fresh install because I couldn't get it to patch. I need to find out which region code matches Australia in order to be able to install WA because the dvd for WA that I bought is Australian, but the DVD for the base game is from Singapore. Theoretically they SHOULD be the same damn region but no, EA likes to fuck people in the ass.
Okay, some help needed here from anyone that has done this on Vista 64-bit (I have home ultimate) - I found in the installer files for my WA DVD that I have a folder called sku7 but I can't find any equivalents in my actual installed base game; I can't find TS3 in my regedit, or an SKU option to change (does anyone know EXACTLY what I should be looking for in regedit?). All the details between the skuversion.txt file on my base game install and my WA install match where they are meant to and I'm patched up to 1.7 so the skuversion.txt file edit that PhantomNeko suggested won't work for this.
Witchboy:
This should help :)

Thanks I found it - for anyone else that goes looking on Vista or Win 7, it's not in the standard folder like it would be for XP; it's in a folder called wownodeXXXX/software in regedit.

I had a legit copy of the base game, but when I went into regedit to change my region number it was already at 7. Maybe this explains why the installer was originally in japanese when I tried to use it...
But yeah, easy stuff. Much easier than I expected it to be, arring over top of a legit copy. It's like EA doesn't care anymore, and is almost encouraging it, because it's ridiculously easy to do.

think I'm slowly going mad found this folder but all its got is microsoft went through all the ea games and electronic arts cannot find anything that relates to sku but I have found the skutext file so can I just by trial and error change any of the 1s to a 7, if anybody just say yes or no I'd be very grateful and I promise never to darken your doors again . . . maybe
