I've been trying, without any success, to determine what the current Sims 4 game version is from script. Searching through the game script files hasn't really helped either. Is there a way to figure-out what the current game version is from the script-side, or is this something that is out of our reach?
Thanks!

No python does not have access to the game version. It does know what packs are installed but that likely is not helpful for what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to add compatibility code for different versions of the game?

And yeah, expansions don't really help. A user may not have bought CL but may be using the October update from EA (PC Version 1.24.102.1020 / Mac Version 1.24.102.1220). It's the 1.24.102 version that I care about.
Thanks!
Yeah unfortunately that information is not available to python currently. I really like this compatibly check idea and I'll add exposing this info to the list of things we would like to add. But can't guarantee anything.
Thanks,

The trouble there is, it's an editable text file. Unless EA can change that, it's not necessarily reliable.
(I'm not smart enough tech-wise to figure that out... Deaderpool told me, when I asked him the same question.)

That not being an option, I may look at the alternatives, but I don't find the alternatives that attractive for the reason I mentioned above and also for the fact, like I had told EG, when you're trying to find the game version, it's better to get it from a source that can't be user-modified (or even deleted).
