Re: game version file not updating to latest version
@PeekABooXP The GameVersion.txt file should have regenerated after you deleted it. The fact that it didn't means either you're looking in the wrong folder, i.e. not the one Sims 4 is actually reading, or that your antivirus blocked the file from being written. So please search your computer for another copy of GameVersion and see if you can find one.
If that's not the issue, please see the first post of this thread for antivirus-related interventions:
