I recently downloaded two new expansion packs for Sims 3 via Origin (Late Night and Generations). Now it seems I have two versions of the game. When I open from my computer folder (Applications > Sims 3), the game dock launches but only shows my old expansion packs (Pets and Seasons). However, when I launch through Origin (find my game in Origin, hit play), the game launcher shows all four expansion packs which is great. It was working to play through Origin until yesterday when I tried to launch the game, it said:
"Your The Sims 3 Base Game is incompatible with the current Sims 3 Expansion Pack. Please update your game via the game launcher."
So, I tried "repairing" the game, and updating the content. Still I get the same message. I tried opening the computer version that only has the two expansion packs and it works but it's frustrating because I can't play with my new expansion packs.
Can anyone help me? What's going on? Please explain like I'm 5. It's so frustrating.
@sammyjd4 I've merged your post with the master thread for this issue. Please go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 and delete the file labeled Version.tag.
