==Style==
When adding new patches we should strive to keep the same formatting. A good rule of thumb would be to copy-paste the layout of the previous patch. Just remember to remove all the content on the page, but not the tables. Update game versions and dates. Add relevant images. Adopt a simple bullet listing of changes. Split changes for expansions and stuff packs into new level 2 headlines. Most importantly: Don't add, modify or delete the notes from EA's site. Correcting a typo or punctuation error is okay, but keep notes, clarifications, helpful links and after-thoughts in references. [[User_talk:Duskey|| Duskey |]] 14:44, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

== patch 17 ==
patch 17 has been released it said on my lancher an up date is avalible it and it said it was 4.5 (ambitions) missing out 4.4 so it must be patch 17 [[User:JRCS+CAS|JRCS+CAS]] 14:08, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
== Patch 5 ==
The table has incorrect information about Patch 5. Patch 5 was 1.5.82 , and was installed by World Adventures, if a newer patch was not already installed. Patch 5 did not have a direct download link, and corresponds to WA patch level 2.0.86 .
According to the official EA "Incremental updates" page (http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/188505.page) :
<u>Patch 1.5 comes with World Adventures and will install if not patched past 1.4.</u>
Patches 6 and 7 were released within a few days of the WA launch, so many people already had a later patch installed, by the time they installed WA. Combine this with the fact that 1.5 was never available for download, and you get the mistaken impression that patch 1.5 didn't exist, or was superseded by 1.6 . The table should be updated to merge the row "WA released" and "Patch 5" into a single row:
Patch 5 1.5.82 2.0.86 11/10/09

== How to edit the patch table ==
How do you edit the table? It lets me edit the actual page, but not the patch table. [[Special:Contributions/79.147.78.139|79.147.78.139]] ([[User talk:79.147.78.139|talk]]) 23:05, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
Having near to zero knowledge with these things, I proudly found it all by myself just by playing with the URL: http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=The_Sims_3/patch/table&action=edit [[Special:Contributions/79.147.78.139|79.147.78.139]] ([[User talk:79.147.78.139|talk]]) 23:24, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
==Official Announcement links==
I found out that some of the links of each patch page link to non-English pages in TheSims3.com. I don't know what language that is, and if it's the original language the web is using, but I'd rather they link to English language, because this is English wiki. Also, some of the links are broken too. Can anyone fix the source?

:can you show me what patch need a fix? [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 11:39, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
::Check out the Official Announcement links in [[The Sims 3/Patch 31|patch 31]], [[The Sims 3/Patch 32|32]], and [[The Sims 3/Patch 33|33]]. They're all not in English and are broken links. There might be some more, but I'm not going to check one by one.

== Question regarding patch number suffixes ==
I see that the same patch can have different versions of it, ending in 001, 002, 003, 005 or 017. I seem to understand these suffixes represent different regions. 001 seems to be US, 002 seems to mean Worldwide, and 017 Digital Download. Is this correct? And what do 003 and 005 represent? Thanks.

Nevermind, I found my answer:
001 us<br />002 europe - POLAND<br />003 asia - china/korea<br />005 japan<br />017 digital download version
