I have installed Origin and all of my Sims 3 games with no issues. Then I clicked play and The Sims 3 startprogram showed up. However when I click play in the startprogram it says the following: "Could not start the game" "Your The Sims 3-base game is not compatible with this The Sims 3-expansion pack. Please update your game via the launcher." However I have already done that. So does anybody know what to do?
