Even if I change the SKU entry in the registry from 2 to 1, I can not use the Region 1 patch. Region 2 patch works fine for me. Your problem may simply be an issue of patch version - try a different version.
The SKU in registry says 2, and I used the Region 2 patch.
I am positive the only problem is with the skuversion.txt file. I had been behind in the patches, since I wasn't simming for two weeks or so. The 1.10 update stated I still have version 1.8.25.003002, and would not let me use the 1.10 patch. When I try to run the 1.9.22 patch updater, it said "Invalid File Found" with the skuversion.txt.
So, used the 1.8.25.003002 patch update installer, hoping it could fix the file by repatching. It states immediately that 'It is already installed, do you want to install anyways?'. I clicked yes, since this is what I want and when it arrives to the point for the skuversion.txt file (you can see the file names flashing by in the installing bar, the MTS patch log viewer also stated this error with the txt file: err0031) it comes up with "Invalid file found". Now, the later patches can't even load because they immediately say it requires the 1.8.25.003002 update and that it is the wrong update version. I haven't had any success in manually editing the skuversion.txt to say 1.8.25.003002. or even changing it to say 1.7.9. It just starts installing but then it comes up to the point with skuversion.txt, it gives "Invalid File Found".
Replacing the file with a bin folder someone uploaded (just that file, not the entire bin!) didn't work either. Going to have to reinstall for a single text file? :-\
To be honest, I don't know if maybe it's another line in the text file that is wrong, I'll post what it currently is saved as:
Quote
GameVersion = 1.8.25.003002
Code:0.RL-2.0.79
Asset:1.Content.rl.10
Thumbnails:1.Thumbnail.dl.1173
TCC:1.TCC.dl.2052
CiderVersion#003332
I realize there is a space behind each line, and a space between GameVersion = number. That seems to be concurrent with the skuversion.txt file in the WA folder (which hasn't been modified at all, I have yet to patch the expansion).
SciBirg:
I believe the region is set in regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHING > SOFTWARE > Sims > The Sims 3 > SKU
Right click on SKU and change the value to whatever you need it to be.

People who can't patch are all FAILTARDS. I have the WORST example of a "stock" game, and I never have any problems.
Things that will cause you grief:
1. Messing with any of the core files. NEVER DO THIS.
2. INSTALLING THE WRONG VERSION. KNOW YOUR VERSION.
3. Trying to patch a game installed to a drive partition that is mounted as a directory, unix-style.

Being a complete failtard, I am also unable to patch. I had bought the original game when it first game out. Unwilling to buy WA, I decided to A'rr both versions as trying to install WA along with my legit Base game was proving difficult.
Everything turned out peachy, until I realized no mods were working. After reinstalling a billion times and reading every damn framework thread on this site, I got it installed right. Or so I thought, everytime I tried to use AM it would freeze at the loading screen. After wading through many more threads I determined it was not a bad installation of the framework like I first thought. I figured my WA was outdated. My SKU.txt states "GameVersion = 2.0.86.002002 " so I attempted to use the Sims3_2.5.12.004002_from_2.4.7.004002 patch, and it looked like it was working fine, the program said it was updating from 2.00.86 to 2.5.12. Then I got the same error message as nanacake (Update Error: Invalide File Found). I have not cracked either the base game or WA on this fresh install, so I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Do I have to increment patches from whatever updated 2.0.86 to the next level and up bit by bit? The sku.txt in the bin for the base game says (1.5.82.002002 ) and the one for WA says (2.0.86.002002). Or am I missing something else completely? Thanks to anyone for any help, I've been trying to get AM to work for two days and I have very little hair left at this point.

I understand all that yet it's still annoying. I bet most people here wouldn't even patch up if JM didn't update AM to work with the patch to begin with. Anyways, I'll just wait and see.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. :P
