I updated my game when i put in the high end loft stuff expansion disk in. i then pressed the play button. a message box saying its unable to start game because the base game is incompatible with the current expansion pack and to update the game via game launcher popped up. but my game is already up to date! i've tried multiple times but to no avail. i've browsed around and tried what others have suggested but none have worked. if anyone knows how to fix this, i will be truly grateful if anyone can help as it's the only thing i can do at the moment because of my broken arm
.
Thanks/

Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
1.Make sure you have downloaded the latest patch for The Sims 3 and expansions.
2.Now, completely close any Sims 3 windows you have open, including the Launcher.
3.Navigate to your Documents folder (My Documents in Windows XP and windows 7).
4.Open the Electronic Arts folder.
5.Open The Sims 3 folder.
6.Find the Version.tag file.
7.Delete the Version.tag file.
Don't worry about deleting the Version.tag file. This file will be re-populated by the game with the correct version once you re-launch The Sims
If this doesnt work and you have EA download manager update it to Origin beta
this was my problem and updating ea download manager helped a lot hope this solves you problems
thanks Luke

Doing so also gives you a warning, and people get confused by it sometimes - but basically that's the warning that your base game is patched to a higher level than your EP/SP and you need to patch again after installing the EP/SP. So you can just ignore that and go ahead.
I know reinstalling isn't anybody's favourite job, but like I said, it's the only thing I've found that works.
It was kinda freezing when i started it up but then it work.
I am struggling so badly with my sims supernatural !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uninstall all your EPs. (Expansion Packs)
Update the base game
Restart the launcher and check for more updates, if there are none, install only ONE more EP
Update again, and restart the launcher to check for more updates
Repeat this process until you have installed and updated every EP individually
The game should work fine now
Happy Simming :-)
when I put the disk in my computer it tells me that I need to install the base game??? what is that and do I have to pay for it
