It seems the base game for this DLC was not installed through Origin. For The Sims 3 Into the Future to work, you must:
1. Select Uninstall Now below, locate the base game. and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall it.
2. Download and install the base game through Origin by selecting it in My Games and clicking download.
After that, you can download and play the Sims 3 Into the Future.
What does thois mean? I have the physical copy of Sims 3 so I can't download it through Origin. And if I uninstall the base game won't that mess up all of my current families?

to be able to install the download version without reinstalling despite that message, do not click on the download button in origin click on the “i” (information) button this will open another window that also has a download button click on that to install
