This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Skuversion.txt Missing or Corrupt?
So my game has been crashing. When I run the Crash Log Analyzer by FordGT90Concept, it crashes before it even opens and an error message appears saying: "The skuversion.txt for product "The Sims 3: Seasons" is missing or corrupt. Please install the aforementioned product and try again." When I run the Patch Downloader, I get the same error message but for ALL of my expansion packs.I reinstalled the base game and all the expansion packs, but I'm still getting the same error messages.
I think because I downloaded from Origin, my skuversion.txt is in Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin > skuversion.txt. It reads:
GameVersion = 1.69.43.024017
Code:0.XL-2.0.32
Asset:1.Content.rl.41
Thumbnails:1.Thumbnail.dl.933
TCC:1.TCC.dl.1209
I do find it interesting that I have all the expansion packs in Program Files > Origin Games too, but all of these folders are empty. I do not know if this has any effect on my problem.
Please help.

Today, a new version of Sims 3 Crash Log Analyzer was uploaded, that works with patch 1.69: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=580022
Good luck!

Hi Gracefell (love your user name)
I think you should try the following:
1. Log into Origin, go to My Games, right click on The Sims 3 and choose "repair game". If this works- you're done.
2. Perhaps when you uninstalled, some game data was left behind. Try cleaning the registry. I can highly recommend CCleaner by Piriform. I have been using it for years and it's easy to use and does a great job. There is a free version: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner After uninstalling and cleaning your registry, reinstall once again. If this works- you're done.
3. Most of the people who help out on this site do not have a digital download on patch 1.69. You might get more help at the Origin Answer HQ: http://answers.help.ea.com/t5/Origin/bd-p/O-2
Good luck.

Hi o/
I have the same problem : I have the error message for Town Life Stuff.
I am not sure when exactly, but the game was for free during a limited period, and I bought (well more like downloaded) it for free. Until there everything was ok.
Recently I changed my computer. In order to reinstall Town Life Stuff, I thought that it would be present in my Origin galery... but it wasn't. When I go to the Town Life Stuff page, it redirects me to "The Sims 3 : Beginner Pack" (it is in French so I don't know the exact name in English)... And I couldn't reinstall the game.
So I try to deal something : I took the folders from my previous computer to the new one... And I managed to install the game this way...
As my game is crashing on my new computer, I am looking for solutions and I found out the Crash Log Analyzer... I tried it and I have this message about the "Skuversion.txt Missing or Corrupt".
So now my question is : is all of this responsible of the game crashing ? Should I buy the Town Life Stuff game as a last solution ?
Thank you in advance ^^

see, i have this same problem and it just started last night. i downloaded the crash analyzer and it claims I don't have world adventures. I did everything you suggested to the person above and none of it worked not even the repairing of the game. i have all ep's and sp's and patched to 1.69. i did a clean uninstall of my entire game and cleaned my registry and then reinstalled the game i made sure to delete all sims 3 files and moved my sims 3 folder in the documents onto an external hard drive just so i can make sure it was a clean install and i still get the same error for this program.
i'm getting tired of my game just crashing and i don't even check all of my ep/sp when i play because my processor is not that great but i have a nvida graphics card..... WTF

Bumping this back up in the hopes somebody has an answer.
I downloaded the updated Crash Log Analyzer. I'm patched to 1.69. I own every EP and every SP and I'm getting the "missing skuversion.txt" message for every single one of them. I tried using the "repair game" trick above with no luck. Help!
