Error loading saved game

 When i open the Sims 4 i am getting the following error message:

"The saved game you are attempting to load was saved with a newer version of The Sims 4 than is currently installed.  Please update in order to safley load this saved game."

how can that possibly be, and how do i correct this?

    Okay guys. ive finally found a solution. ive tested it, and its worked for my game, hopefully it will work for yours. 

    Go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/cache and delete all the cache files. 

    then go into the saves folder and delete all of the saves.

    Then go into the "scratch" folder within the "saves" folder and delete all the files which had the words "save game" in it.

    You will need to create a new game, then save it, exit the game and then relaunch Sims 4.
