Re: [INFORMATION] How does this forum work ?
Game Version
The game Version is vital information for QA to know on which build an issue first occurred and also to know if your game is up-to-date or if you might need to update first. Please do not report bugs on outdated game versions.
Since EA/Maxis introduced the Legacy Edition, it also provides information if you have the issue on the standard version or the legacy one.
Please don't put latest or current or something along these lines because:
- For current posts they may seem enough info but if someone checks an older thread and just sees that, it can be anything.
- If you put latest, one needs to check the date of your post and then find out which patch number was current then. If you put the actual number, it makes so much easier.
- If you are still really unsure what you have, post at least: latest as per <current date> .. still extra work but at least it's easier to find when latest was
The game version usually looks like this
PC/Mac
1.xx.yyy.zzzz
- xx = Changes on big patches
- yyy = Changes on big and smaller patches
- zzzz= Indicates if you are on Mac/PC and if you’re running the Standard or the Legacy Edition.
- 1030 = PC Standard
- 1230 = Mac Standard
- 1530 = PC Legacy
- 1630 = Mac Legacy
Console
2.xx
- xx = Changes on patches
Please always provide the full number.
How can you find your Game Version For PC/Mac ?
There's several ways, the easiest is to either check in your files if you have troubles starting the game or on the main menu
As an alternative, navigate to the following file: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\GameVersion.txt and open the file with a text editor. You will find the Version Number inside.
How can you find your Game Version For Console ?
You can also see the information on the Options Screen of the game
- Select the game and press Options (PS4) or Menu (XB1)
- For PS4: Either click on Update History or Information.
- For XB1: Go to Manage Games and you should find the same info.
