Hello there, I really need some help with my game, I have the following expansion packs
The sims 3 base game
Ambitions
Late night
Generations
Pets
Showtime
Supernatural
Master suite stuff
Town life stuff

I also had World adventures installed but due to a unofficial mod error I got, I decided to reinstall all my games to get rid of the unofficial mod error which worked, so that is no longer the issue. But now when I tried to reinstall the World adventures expansion pack it says that it's region code is different than the base game. I bought all my games in South Africa where I stay, the strange thing is I have installed that exact same World adventures game before and played it and never got that problem? I don't understand why it suddenly says that the region codes are different if I've installed it before without a problem, I have tried the regedit thing but it messes things up, it automatically removes my supernatural game and the update that comes with it. I don't have internet so I manually patch my game I have patch 1.39 and can't go higher because it requires internet and origin account. Before I reinstalled my games I also had patch 1.39 and world adventures installed without any problems but now when I want to reinstall, it says the region codes are different, please help me, what can I do to make it work? If it has worked before without messing up or removing other packs? Without regedit please.  Thank you in advance.

I found this at Crinrict's blog

From reading that it might be a possible issue with the patch version you have.

Wrong manual Patch

If you manually patch your game and use the incremental patch, you must make sure that the patch you download matches the region code of your base game.

I assume you have the patch backed up for reinstalling if you have no internet. Are you using the superpatch or incremental patches?

This page explains how to find your game version.
