Did some more checking and there are actually multiple patches.
http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku1_update_manifest.xml - 1.0.631.00001
http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku2_update_manifest.xml - 1.0.631.00002
http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku3_update_manifest.xml - 1.0.631.00003
http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku5_update_manifest.xml - 1.0.631.00005
http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku7_update_manifest.xml - 1.0.631.00107
depending on your region.
If you look at the 2nd line of each page you will see this...
<patchTarget TargetContentId="sims3_dd"> for version # 1.0.631.00107
<patchTarget TargetContentId="sims3_sku2"> for version # 1.0.631.00002
for sim3_sku7 i'm pretty sure sims3_dd refers to the Digital Download version, the other patches are for different regions.
If you look at the rest of the lines on the pages, you will see the different codes for each region.

If that is the case, then managing independent patch .exe files is going to be a huge pain. Suppose I'll have to wait and see.
