This is getting tired. Why EAxis made the game with different regions, I don't know, but they did. If your launcher has packed it in, and you're running windows, try downloading the EA downloader, a Google search will give you plenty of options, and re-install it. When the launcher dies, it is usually because the EADM didn't patch properly, re-installing will usually get the launcher working again.
In the meantime, you can get different patches from here http://www.simprograms.com/the-sims-3-patches/
Either by looking at the launcher, or by using Delphy's dashboard, available at MTS, you can check the full version number. The last few numbers give you the region code you need.
Edit: fixed your=you're

Thank you so much! I managed to get the patch installed!
