Am I missing something here? Clicking on our icon top RHS tells us the latest version. Or going to windows mode also tells us top LHS. The latest version is also included in the patch notes notice on the home page. We are told when there is a new version and what it is. We cannot open or play the sim without the new version being installed. Etc etc etc. After a new version is installed we go through our contents stuff to update anything that needs updating. After that, as the developers are doing things, it seems some content then says it requires a newer version - well we ignore that until it is announced that a new version is available fir download. If we miss the announcement the sim will not start and will tell us that a new version is available. Maybe not ideal but quite believable and works ok. Cheers.
