  You can leave your EP installed, you will just want to install this update located here:
  
  http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_4.2.32.007002_from_4.0.87.006002.exe
  
  Did you by any chance cancel a second download or update when updating your game? Or possibly open your launcher after one update ran?

  :shock: Im too late. What you could've done is manually patched the base game
  Download and run
  http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.14.11.007002_from_1.12.70.006002.exe
  
  and might as well have patched HELs as wells. Download and run.

  Hi. I was experiencing the same thing but I fixed mine. I'm running on Windows 7 Home Premium but this should work for vista also. I uninstalled all of mine and then followed these steps.
  
  1. Backup anything you might need. Also, take out any CD cracks that you might have in the folders.
  
  2. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/215585.page
  
  not including launching the sims 3.
  
  3. Install the base game, followed by High End Loft Stuff, then WA (I didnt install this yet since my friend has it) and then Ambitions.
  
  4. Check to the skuversions for the game versions. They should be at the base level or just a bit higher but not the latest ones.
  
  5. Go to this link: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/188505.page
  
  I manually patched mine starting from the base to the newest patch. Time consuming but you'll be able to pinpoint which patch is messing up.
  
  6. DONT use CD cracks. The newest patch doesnt like it. I'm sticking to my real ambitions disc even though I dont like having it in my cd drive while playing.
  
  Use the launcher. It should say that it's fully patched and it should be working fine.
