Where do you check what version of the game you have? I installed the game from what I believe was 1.4.6 but the game performed an update right before installing World Adventures and I no longer know what version I have.
I was under the impression that using the Game Launcher was a bad thing. Is that still the case?
I don't believe there is any reason why you could not bring up the game launcher to see what version of the game you are running and this information will appear in the lower left hand corner. You can then simply close the launcher rather than booting the game from it.
However, Motoki wrote a detailed post in the "STOP THE INSANITY..." thread (subsequent to EA releasing the first patch to the base game) on this issue which I have linked, here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16229.0.html in which he describes how to check this using another method, as sometimes the patches/updates are unsuccessful.

If you're still on 1.4.6 and skipped the 1.6 patch (i.e. the "can't live without working AwesomeMod" crowd): http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.7.9.002002_from_1.4.6.00002.exe
Wait a second, what does the link here have to do with the people who can't live without AM? It's not as if this patch is any more compatible.

I was wondering the same thing, I was still at 1.4 for reasons that have nothing to do with AM, but EA. I saw all the fuss about 1.6 errors so thought I'd wait for something more... Would have waited further but got too impatient. I love awesome mod, but I'm willing to do without for a short time if it comes between that or not playing the game at all. Besides, if I may end up having to take out CC and re-create certain things anyways, I dont want to let myself stay too comfy with my current save games.

Okay, so my version on the game launcher says 2.0.86.002002 which does not compute as I thought the versions out were 1.5/1.6 and 1.7. In order to install patches, I need to download EADM, which is unnecessary and pointless I have heard although it is not malicious. There are a few links to download the patches directly without having to go through EADM and I'd like to do that only I don't know which of the links to download from as my game version does not match with any of those direct links.
For instance, here is a link to the latest 1.7 patch:
http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.7.9.002002_from_1.6.6.002002.exe
And here's the one before this patch 1.5/1.6:
http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.6.6.002002_from_1.4.6.00002.exe
Looking at the SKUversion.txt file in my game directory under World Adventures says:
GameVersion = 2.0.86.002002
The same file under the Sims 3 base game directory says:
GameVersion = 1.5.82.002002
During installation of World Adventures my game performed an update which appears to have brought it to 1.5.82 from 1.4.6 (or the most recent patch before WA was released). Is there any harm in installing the 1.5/1.6 first and then the 1.7 patch from those direct links? If there is, what is the proper order to installing the patches?
Lion:
If I understand correctly, version 2.0.86.002002 means you have patch 1.6.6 and WA, so use the first link "Sims3_1.7.9.002002_from_1.6.6.002002.exe".
