This problem used to be very common when the base game and the expansions had separate patches.
What's your base game version ? To find out, hover over the base game icon in the lower left part of the launcher.
Here's a solution that is not really current but it might help you. There is only a patch for the base game nowadays.
Problem
I get the error message: Your The Sims 3 Base Game is incompatible with the current Sims 3 Expansion Pack. Please update your game via the game launcher. My Launcher is showing that I have Version 0.0.0.0 on top of that.
Cause
When patching the launcher always downloads two patches (unless you only have the base game). If you accidentally canceled out the installation of the second patch by manually starting the launcher, you will get this error, since the Version of the base game and the one of your latest expansion pack don't match. Always make sure you wait until both updates are done. The launcher will start back up automatically so don't interfere. You will need to click ok on a message after the first patch, but don't start your launcher manually.
Solution
There are several things you can try to trigger the missing update.
Good Luck
